Install the UCMDB Browser with Preconfigured Apache Tomcat Server on Windows

Note  

  • The installation directory must not contain spaces, and can use only English letters (a-z), digits (0-9), the hyphen sign ('-'), and the underscore sign (_).
  • To run Tomcat as a service, Java JDK 6 for Win 64 bit should be installed (not JRE). The Apache Tomcat version gets its Java from the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
  • The pre-configured Apache Tomcat Server has pre-defined user credentials to access the Tomcat Manager Application. The user credentials are: admin/admin. It is strongly recommended to change these credentials after installation to prevent unauthorized access to the Tomcat Manager Application.

    To change these credentials go to the Tomcat conf folder, and change the credentials in the file tomcat-users.xml. For more details, see the Tomcat online documentation at: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html

To install the UCMDB Browser:

  1. Unzip the file ucmdb-browser-tomcat-windows.zip to an accessible location.

  2. Go to the folder where you extracted the contents and in the ucmdb_browser_config.xml file (located at <UCMDB_Browser_installation_folder>\conf) configure the connection to the UCMDB server as follows:

    • protocol. CMDB Server protocol
    • host_name. CMDB Server name
    • host_port. CMDB Server port
  3. Install the Tomcat server as a service using <UCMDB_Browser_installation_folder>/install_ucmdb_browser_service.bat.

  4. Start the Tomcat server using <UCMDB_Browser_installation_folder>/start_ucmdb_browser_service.bat.

  5. Go to http://<server name>:8088/ucmdb-browser.

    Note After restarting your computer, the Tomcat server starts automatically. To stop the Tomcat server, run: <UCMDB_Browser_installation_folder>/stop_ucmdb_browser_service.bat. To uninstall the Tomcat server, run: <UCMDB_Browser_installation_folder>/uninstall_ucmdb_browser_service.bat.
