Configure ASF Tomcat

Use this information to configure iSeries™ Access for Web for Apache Software Foundation (ASF) Tomcat.

1. Sign on to your server.
2. Use the appropriate iSeries Access for Web configuration command.
   • To use the CL command, run this server command:

     QIWA2/CFGACCWEB2 APPSVRTYPE(*ASFTOMCAT) TCSVRNAME(tc_server_name)
          TCHOMEDIR('tc_home_directory') TCUSRPRF(user_id)

   • To use the script command, run these server commands:

     STRQSH
     cd /QIBM/ProdData/Access/Web2/install
     cfgaccweb2 -appsvrtype *ASFTOMCAT -tcsvrname tc_server_name
          -tchomedir tc_home_directory -tcusrprf user_id

   The configuration commands use these variables:

   tc_server_name

   The name of the ASF Tomcat server that was created to run iSeries Access for Web.

   tc_home_directory

   The ASF Tomcat home directory that was specified when you set up your ASF Tomcat server. If you do not know the path, use the IBM^® Web Administration for iSeries interface to check the settings for your ASF Tomcat server.

   user_id

   The Tomcat Server user ID that was specified when you set up your ASF Tomcat server. If you do not know the user ID, use the IBM Web Administration for iSeries interface to check the settings for your ASF Tomcat server.

   For help on this command and the parameters, specify the -? parameter.
   Migration Note: If you are already using iSeries Access for Web within another Web application server, refer to New Web application server considerations. This topic discusses additional CFGACCWEB2 command parameters that can be input to migrate user data from an existing configuration to this new configuration.
   
3. Start the HTTP server by running the server command STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(http_server_name).
   Note: Replace http_server_name with the name of the Apache powered IBM HTTP server that you created.
4. Stop and restart the ASF Tomcat server. Run these server commands, where tc_server_name is the name of the ASF Tomcat server :

   ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*ASFTOMCAT) TOMCATSVR(tc_server_name)
   STRTCPSVR SERVER(*ASFTOMCAT) TOMCATSVR(tc_server_name)

   
5. Open your browser to http://<your_server_name>:port/webaccess/iWAMain. Be sure the case matches the example.
