What you need to install SkyVault Content Services

There are a number of different installation files available to you, each of which you can choose depending on what is already installed on your system.

The setup wizards install all the components you need for running SkyVault Content Services and ensure that you have all the recommended software installed and that configurations are set. When you install using the setup wizards, it runs within an instance of the Tomcat application server. The setup wizards provide a full SkyVault Content Services install, which you can use if no SkyVault Content Services component is installed on your production environment system. See Installing using setup wizards for more information on the options available.

If you wish to install within an existing Tomcat or another application server, use the SkyVault WAR file. If you use the WAR file to install, you must install the required additional components manually.
