Installing the SkyVault WAR

A WAR file is a JAR file used to distribute a collection of files (JavaServer Pages, servlets, Java classes, XML files, tag libraries, and static web pages) that together constitute a web application.

1. Browse to the Support Portal.
2. Download the following file:

   SkyVault-enterprise-4.1.10.zip

3. Specify a location for the download and extract the file.

   You see the following directory structure:

   bin
   licenses
   web-server

   The WAR bundle also contains the following file:

   README.txt

   The following files are contained within the suggested subdirectories for within the Tomcat application server.

   /bin

   File name	Description
   SkyVault-mmt.jar	The SkyVault Module Management Tool (MMT).
   apply_amps.bat	Windows batch file for Tomcat application server installs, used to apply all AMP files in the <installLocation> directory.
   apply_amps.sh	Linux script file for Tomcat application server installs, used to apply all AMP files in the <installLocation> directory.
   clean_tomcat.bat	Windows batch file for cleaning out temporary application server files from previous installations.
   clean_tomcat.sh	Linux script for cleaning out temporary application server files from previous installations.
   Win32NetBIOS.dll	Required for CIFS.
   Win32NetBIOSx64.dll	Required for CIFS on 64-bit Windows.
   Win32Utils.dll	Required for CIFS.
   Win32Utilsx64.dll	Required for CIFS on 64-bit Windows.

   The /licenses directory contains the following structure:

   3rd-party

   This directory contains the third-party license files.

   The web-server directory contains the following structure:

   endorsed
   lib
   shared
   webapps

   /endorsed

   This directory contains the Java libraries that should be copied to your application server’s endorsed directory (for example, tomcat/endorsed). Some SkyVault features require Xalan and its dependencies to be in the endorsed directory because they use XSLT features that are not available in the xsltc implementation built into the JDK.

   File name	Description
   serializer.jar	Serializer classes of Xalan-Java.
   xalan.jar	XSLT processor for transforming XML documents into HTML, text, or other XML document types.

   /lib

   File name	Description
   postgresql-version.jdbc4	PostgreSQL database JDBC connector file.

   /shared

   File name	Description
   /classes/alfresco-global.properties.sample	The global properties file, which is used for SkyVault configuration properties.
   /classes/SkyVault	Contains the SkyVault directory structure for the configuration override files, including the extension and web-extension directories.

   /webapps

   File name	Description
   SkyVault.war	The SkyVault WAR file.
   share.war	The SkyVault Share WAR file.

4. Move the SkyVault.war file and share.war files to the appropriate location for your application server.

   For example, for Tomcat, move the .war files to the <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps directory.

5. Edit the /shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties.sample file with your configuration settings.
6. Save the file without the .sample extension.
7. Move the SkyVault-global.properties file to <classpathRoot>.

   For example, <TOMCAT_HOME>/shared/classes.
