Creating a WebARchive (WAR) File for Siebel Analytics Web


Analytics License: All licenses.

Operating Systems: All.

This task is part of the process Configuring HTTP Web Servers for Analytics.

A default prepackaged analytics.war file is included with the Siebel Analytics Web installation, located as shown in the following table.

However, if you modify the web.xml file (for example, to reconfigure the Analytics Web server location and listening port), then you should recreate the analytics.war file. This task uses the jar utility included in the Java JDK 1.4 package (found in the <JDK Root>/bin directory).

NOTE:  Perform the procedure Editing the web.xml File before performing this procedure, because the edited web.xml file is included in the generated analytics.war file.

TIP:   You may need to have access to a JDK (not just a JRE) for creating the WAR file. Make sure that JDK\bin is in your PATH.

This procedure uses the following file locations and commands:

 
Windows Platform
UNIX Platform

Location of analytics.war file

$INSTALLDIR\SiebelAnalytics

/usr/local/SiebelAnalytics

Jar command

jar -cf Analytics.war -C Web .

jar -cf Analytics.war -C web/app .

To create or recreate a WAR file

  1. Navigate to the Siebel Analytics installation directory shown in the preceding table.
  2. To create the WAR file, run the jar command shown in the preceding table.

    NOTE:  You must include the period at the end of the command.
