Deploying the Wizard

To use the wizard, you first need to deploy the WAR file containing the wizard application. To deploy the WAR files:

Important! It is assumed that you will be deploying the Adapter components as depicted in "Arcot Adapter Deployment Diagram".

  1. If not already restarted, ensure that you restart your application server before you proceed with the next steps.
  2. Navigate to the directory where the ArcotAFMWizard.war file is located. By default, this WAR file is available at the following location:
    afm_wizard_installation_dir\AFMWizard
    
  3. Install ArcotAFMWizard.war on the system where you plan to deploy the AFM application.

    For example, on Apache Tomcat, the location to install the WAR file is:

    application_server_home\webapps
    

    Apache Tomcat automatically deploys the WAR file and creates a folder named ArcotAFMWizard under the webapps folder.

    Note: Refer to the vendor documentation for instructions on how deploy on other supported application servers.

  4. Access the following URL from the end-user’s system:

    http[s]://host_name:port_number/ArcotAFMWizard/

    Replace host_name and port-number with the host name and port of the system where you have deployed the Adapter Wizard application. You should see the Arcot Adapter Configuration Wizard page.

You can now use the wizard to create profiles, configure various components, and generate the configuration files. The following section guides you through the process of configuring the Adapter components by using the wizard.
