Obtaining the service installer files

If you have installed Studio as a standalone application on your own version of Tomcat, then you need to obtain the service installer and monitor files for that version. These files are part of the Tomcat download.

If you have installed the Studio Tomcat bundle for Windows, then the files are provided as part of the bundle. You can skip this step and go straight to Installing and starting the service.

You must use the files for Tomcat version 6.0.36.

To obtain the files and add them to Studio:

  1. From the Apache Tomcat website (http://tomcat.apache.org), download the Tomcat file (apache-tomcat-6.0.x-windows-x86.zip) .

    A sample URL for the archive directory is: http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.36/bin/

    If you are using a 64-bit JVM, then you need to download the 64-bit version of the installer (apache-tomcat-6.0.x-windows-x64.zip).

  2. Extract the file to a temporary directory.
  3. In the bin subdirectory of the temporary download directory, locate the following files:
    • service.bat
    • tomcat6.exe
    • tomcat6w.exe. This is the Tomcat service monitor.
  4. Copy these files to the bin directory of Information Discovery Studio:

    endeca-portal\tomcat-6.0.x\bin
