If you intend to deploy Web content (static text and binary files) to your staging and production Web servers, install and configure a Publishing Web agent on each Web server. While the Publishing Web agent is installed with the Adaptive Scenario Engine, its configuration is primarily for demonstration and evaluation purposes; a Publishing Web agent is not typically run on an ATG server.
Note: You use the ATG Web Server Extensions installer to install the Publishing Web agent. You can also use it to install a DistributorServer
for a Content Distributor system. For information on using the installer to do so, as well as general information on Content Distributor systems, see the Content Distribution chapter in the ATG Programming Guide.
Installing on Windows
To install the Publishing Web agent on a Web server running on Windows:
Make sure the Web server machine has a Java Virtual Machine installed.
Download the ATG Web Server Extensions executable file from the Oracle Web site.
Run the ATG Web Server Extensions executable.
The installer displays the Welcome dialog box.
Click Next
Specify the installation directory for the Publishing Web agent. The default (and recommended) directory is
c:\ATG\ATGWeb2007.3
Click Next
The installer displays the list of Web server extensions you can configure during the installation process. By default, the
DistributorServer
and the Publishing Web agent are both selected. You can uncheck theDistributorServer
option for this installation.For information on configuring the
DistributorServer
for a Content Distributor system, see the Content Distribution chapter in the ATG Programming Guide.Click Next
Specify the RMI port to be used by the Publishing Web agent. The default is 8860.
Note: Later in the deployment setup process, you must specify the same port number for the Web agent in the deployment configuration UI. See Define the Deployment Topology for more information.
Click Next
Specify the local directory to be used by the Publishing Web agent. The default is
C:\ATG\ATGWeb2007.3\home\doc
. You can specify the Web server’s document root directory or any subdirectory within the root directory.Click Next
Specify a name for the program folder that the installer will create within the Windows Programs folder. The default is
ATG 2007.3\ATG Web Server Extensions
. The program folder will contain a shortcut for starting the Publishing Web agent.Click Next
The installer displays the installation directory you selected and indicates it is ready to install the Publishing Web agent.
Review the setup information:
Click Next to start the installation
Click Back to change any settings
After installation is complete, click Finish to close the installer.
Installing on UNIX
To install the Publishing Web agent on a Web server running on UNIX:
Make sure the Web server machine has a Java Virtual Machine installed.
Download from the Oracle website the ATG Web Server Extensions JAR file,
ATGWebServerExtensions2007.3.jar
(the file name might include a build number).Unpack the JAR file:
jar xvf
filename
This creates an
ATGWeb2007.3
subdirectory within the current directory.Change to the
ATGWeb2007.3/home
directory.Make sure you have read and write permissions for the install script with this command or its equivalent:
chmod +x bin/Install
Run the
Install
script with this command:bin/Install
The system lists the Web server extensions that you can configure during the installation process.
To configure the Publishing Web agent, enter
b
Enter the local directory to be used by the Publishing Web agent. The default is:
/
root
name
/
username
/ATGWeb2007.3/home/doc
You can specify the Web server’s document root directory or any subdirectory within the root directory.
Enter the RMI port to be used by the Publishing Web agent. The default is 8860.
Note: Later in the deployment setup process, you must specify the same port number for the Web agent in the deployment configuration UI. See Define the Deployment Topology for more information.
