        When deploying Communications Express on Application Server, two files, server.xml and server.policy,are modified.

        Before modifying server.xml and server.policy files, a backup of these files is maintained by the configurator program. The backup files are stored in the directory

        DOMAIN-DIRECTORY/ SERVER-INSTANCE-NAME/config/.CommsExpress_YYYYMMDDhhmmss

        Where,

        DOMAIN-DIRECTORY is Application Server’s Domain Directory.

        SERVER-INSTANCE-NAME is the Application Server Instance Name for which Communications Express is being configured.

        YYYYMMDDhhmmss is the time stamp of the backup directory.

  6. The URI Path Setting panel appears.

    Enter the URI where Communications Express should be deployed. For example, /uwc.

    Caution – Caution –

    If you are using an existing URI to deploy Communications Express, the configuration tool first removes any previous application data before deploying Communications Express on that URI. For example, if you are deploying Communications Express on a URI such as /uwc that has a web application deployed in it, Communications Express configurator first removes the existing web-application from /uwc before deploying Communications Express. This could result in the loss of the previous application’s data and accessibility of the application.
