Installing the Windows Tomcat bundle

To install the Tomcat bundle, you extract the Studio application, then add the Studio components.

The Studio Tomcat bundle download for Windows contains the following files:

To install the Studio Tomcat bundle:

  1. Unzip EID_3.1.x_Studio_portal.zip to the directory of your choice.

    Studio creates a directory called endeca-portal in that directory. For example, if you unzip into C:, Information Discovery Studio installs into C:\endeca-portal.

    It is recommended that you create a directory C:\Oracle\Endeca\Discovery\3.1.0\ to extract the file into.

  2. Extract the .war files from EID_3.1.x_Studio_components.zip and place them into the endeca-portal\deploy directory.

    The .war files go in the root of endeca-portal\deploy. There should be no subdirectories.

    Note: This directory already contains hooks and layouts required by the portal. It is safe to overwrite these files with the versions in EID_3.1.x_Studio_Components.zip.
  3. If the environment variables CATALINA_HOME or JAVA_HOME are already set, update them to point to your newly installed Tomcat directory and a valid 1.6 JRE.

    For example, set CATALINA_HOME to C:\<path_to_endeca-portal>\tomcat-6.0.37, and set JAVA_HOME to C:\<path_to_endeca-portal>\tomcat-6.0.37\jre1.6.0_21\win.

    If you do not have these environment variables set, you can leave them un-set.

  4. To start the portal's Tomcat instance, run endeca-portal\tomcat-6.0.37\bin\startup.bat.
    Note: Server startup can take several minutes. You can follow the log messages to ascertain when the process is complete. Do not shut down the Tomcat window while Studio is running.
  5. To test that the application is running, go to the portal (http://localhost:8080/eid) in your browser. Log in using the following default credentials:
    Field Value
    Login: admin@oracle.com
    Password: Welcome123
    You are immediately prompted to change the password. The new password must contain:
    • At least 6 characters
    • At least one non-alphabetic character
  6. Optionally, you can set up log4j logging. log4j provides configurable, Java-based logging in an open-source utility.
    Note: For more information about Studio logging, see the Studio Administration and Customization Guide.
