The content of this chapter is intended for system administrators. Here, you can learn how to install and configure Web Application Platform with Cameo Collaborator and other services by using the command-line interface.

Installation prerequisites and other important information

Before installing Web Application Platform with services, you need to:

  • Have a working instance of Teamwork Cloud.
  • Download the Web_App_Platform_<version number>_unix.sh file.
  • Increase the open file limit for the OS (or for Web Application Platform/Tomcat) to a minimum of 20 000 files.
  • Have access to the KeyStore file with the same certificate that is used in Teamwork Cloud for authentication configuration.

Before starting the installation, you should know the following:

  • We recommend installing Web Application Platform and Teamwork Cloud on different machines.
  • Before installing Web Application Platform, make sure to note down Zookeeper, Cassandra, Teamwork Cloud, and the FlexNet server information (e.g., hostname and port), as well as the KeyStore file location (you can find it in the <install_root>/TeamworkCloud/configuration directory). You will need this data during installation.
  • After installing Web Application Platform, it is recommended to stop the WebApp service on the machine where Teamwork Cloud is installed.

  10. Go to the <install_root>/WebAppPlatform/shared/conf directory and open for editing the authserver.properties file.
