Install and Launch JBoss EAP 6.2 and 6.3

Step 1: Launch jboss\bin\add-user. Create a Management user, leave the defaults, and provide a user name and password.

Step 2: Create a folder called archibus.war inside the jboss deployments folder.

Step 3: Explode the contents of archibus.war to the archibus.war folder.

Step 4: Deploy Web Central to JBoss EAP.

Prerequisite for JBoss EAP 6.3:

Delete \WEB-INF\lib\asm-3.3.1.jar from archibus.war.

This step is not required for JBoss EAP 6.2.

Create a Web Central setting module:

Create a new folder: c:\jboss_installation_home\modules\com\archibus\settings\main.
Create the module.xml file in the module folder (the path will be c:\jboss_installation_home\modules\com\archibus\settings\main\module.xml) with this content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="com.archibus.settings">
<resources>
<resource-root path="."/>
</resources>
</module>

Copy these files from the WEB-INF\config folder to the module folder:

Original file	Destination folder
WEB-INF\config\core.properties WEB-INF\config\help.properties WEB-INF\config\login.properties WEB-INF\config\mail.properties WEB-INF\config\remoting.properties WEB-INF\config\security.properties WEB-INF\config\smartclient.properties WEB-INF\config\context\applications\applications-child-context WEB-INF\config\context\core\project-child-context	c:\jboss_installation_home\modules\com\archibus\settings\main\
WEB-INF\config\context\applications\applications-child-context.xml	c:\jboss_installation_home\modules\com\archibus\settings\main\
WEB-INF\config\context\core\project-child-context.xml	c:\jboss_installation_home\modules\com\archibus\settings\main\
WEB-INF\config\context\applications\arcgis.properties WEB-INF\config\context\applications\configservice.properties WEB-INF\config\context\applications\mobileservices.properties WEB-INF\config\context\applications\reservations.properties	c:\jboss_installation_home\modules\com\archibus\settings\main\context\applications
WEB-INF\config\mail.properties WEB-INF\config\drawing-management.properties	c:\jboss_installation_home\modules\com\archibus\settings\main\config\
WEB-INF\config\context\applications\mobileservices.properties	c:\jboss_installation_home\modules\com\archibus\settings\main\config\context\applications
WEB-INF\config\context\security\ldap\activedirectory\ldap.properties	c:\jboss_installation_home\modules\com\archibus\settings\main\config\context\security\ldap\activedirectory

Inside archibus.war. modify the META-INF\MANIFEST.MF file by adding this line:

Dependencies: com.archibus.settings

Step 5: Add the license file to the config folder: ..deployments\archibus.war\WEB-INF\config

Step 6: Update afm-project.xml to activate your project.

Step 7: Start the deployment.

Navigate to ..\deployments and create a shortcut archibus.war.dodeploy to start the deployment (that is, create a text file and save it as archibus.war.dodeploy).

Step 8: (Optional): Install the online help systems

Accessing online help from Web Central (either through the Help command or right-clicking on the Process Navigator) automatically brings you to the latest help systems that are stored on www.archibus.com; for example, http://www.archibus.com/ai/abizfiles/v23_help/archibus_help/user_en/archibus.htm. Since help systems stored on archibus.com are continually updated, accessing online help from these locations ensures that you are working with the very latest help release from ARCHIBUS, Inc.

However, some sites wish to have users access the online help from the company's network rather than from the archibus.com web site. In this case, you can install the help systems on your network by obtaining them from the ARCHIBUS DVD.

Follow this procedure:

Start JBoss application server.
Copy the archibus_help.war file to the C:\JBoss_installation\standalone\deployments folder.
JBoss will automatically deploy the help web application. This process takes several minutes.

Alternatively, you can use JBoss Administrative Console to deploy archibus_help.war, as any other web application.
