Installing a Web or Application Server

Tomcat does not include a JDK, so you must install it before installing Tomcat. ENOVIA supports Tomcat on the platforms and with the JDK as outlined in the Program Directory for the given release.

Tomcat 5.5 initializes via the Tomcat service even if you run it from the Start command. This means that the Server Startup Configuration Checker will give Critical warnings on Java settings that may not be real issues, as described in the topic "mxAudit.log File". Use the Tomcat log to verify that these settings are correct and disregard the warnings.

On AIX, before starting Tomcat you need to edit the file setclasspath.sh in the bin directory of Tomcat, by commenting out (or deleting) the following two lines (the first and the third, leave the CLASSPATH line):

#if [ "$1" = "debug" -o "$1" = "javac" ] ; then 
CLASSPATH="$JAVA_HOME"/lib/tools.jar
#fi

Configuring for large FCS synchronization operations

If Tomcat is used with a File Collaboration Server performing large synchronization operations of 1500 files or more, you must add or modify the maxPostSize attribute value to at least 5mb (5242880 bytes). Add or modify the attribute in the <Connector> section of the server.xml file (located in TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml) for the File Collaboration Server: 

<Connector port="9090" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
    connectionTimeout="20000"
    redirectPort="8445"
    maxPostSize="5242880" />
