Installing the Administrator application

Perform these steps to install SkyVault Process Services Administrator application, activiti-admin.

1. Install your Web container.

   These instructions use Tomcat as an example. However, you can use the same web container that was used for the SkyVault Process Services webapp.

2. Install your database.

   These instructions use MySQL as an example. You can use the same database instance that you created for the SkyVault Process Services webapp.

3. Create a MySQL schema.

   The default name is activitiadmin.

   For example, in the MySQL utility:

   create database activitiadmin
   CHARACTER SET utf8
   COLLATE utf8_bin;

4. Copy the activiti-admin WAR file into your web container.

   The default application name is SkyVault-admin. To change this name, you must update the configuration to the correct context root.

   For example, for Tomcat, copy the SkyVault-admin.war to the webapps folder.

5. Edit the properties in the example activiti-admin.properties provided with the WAR file.
   1. Uncomment and modify JDBC details as necessary for your type of database and the schema to be used.
   2. Copy the activiti-admin.properties file onto the container classpath, for example the <Install>/tomcat/lib folder.
