To use Workplace XT as
a Web application, you must deploy it as an application in the WebLogic Server Administration Console.
You can specify the context root for the application URL during the
deployment.
- From the WebLogic Server Administration
Console, navigate to the domain you initially created for the Application Engine.
- Prepare the WebLogic Server Administration
Console to deploy the application.
- Choose whether to deploy from an exploded folder, install_path/IBM/FileNet/WebClient,
or from the WAR or EAR file, such as web_client.war or web_client.ear in install_path/deploy.
- Accept the defaults for the deployment, except for the
name for the deployment. Use Workplace XT or the custom
name you have chosen instead of web_client.
- Finish the deployment, and save and activate your changes.
Tip: To verify that the deployment was successful,
expand Web Applications. The web application Workplace XT is listed.
- After deployment is complete, start Workplace XT (or your custom application
name) in the WebLogic Server Administration
Console.
- (Windows only)
From the Windows Services
Console, restart the Process Workplace XT Services
Manager service.
- Restart Process Task Manager and Component Manager.
- Exit the Process Task Manager application.
- By using the application server administration
tool, verify that the Workplace XT application
is running.
- Open a Web browser and type in the URL for the Workplace XT application.
- If you are using a load-balancer or proxy server the URL has the
form:
- Workplace XT
- http://virtual_name:port_number/WorkplaceXT
- If connecting to an individual cluster node the URL would have
the form:
- Workplace XT
- http://clustered_server_name:port_number/WorkplaceXT/
Sign-in by using the virtual name to properly set the base Workplace XT URL. If it is not set
correctly you must change it in Site Preferences.
- Verify that the sign-in page displays, and log in as
a user.
- Fail one of the nodes.
- Verify that you can reload the sign-in page, and log
in as the same user.
To troubleshoot the deployment, check the following log:
WLS_install_path/user_projects/domains/domain_name/servers/server_name/logs/server_name.log
Workplace XT requires that the client
operating system has the Java™ Runtime
Environment (JRE) downloaded and installed. If JRE is not installed,
users will be prompted to install the JRE on first login.
