Installing the internal web service (apache tomcat)

[Craig Sweeney]

Hello. I'm in the process of upgrading our test environment from AE 10 to AE 12. I'm having some issue with the Web interface on Linux. I have installed the latest version of Tomcat (8.5) and am able to connect to the Tomcat Web Page after installation using the localHost:8080.  I'm following the steps below from the AE 12 instalation manual

• Host
• Assign the role "uc4" to a user by adapting <tomcat>/conf/tomcat-users.xml. Instructions are available on the Tomcat Website.
• Copy the file uc4ws_tomcat.war, rename it into uc4ws.war and paste it into deploy directory of tomcat (<tomcat>/webapps)
• Download the Zip-Distribution of JAX-WS Reference Implementation (RI) from http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/sun/xml/ws/jaxws-ri/2.2.10/jaxws-ri-2.2.10.zip, paste the content of <jaxws>/lib into <tomcat>/webapps/<internal_webservice>/WEB-INF/lib
• After deployment, no error log message should be shown in tomcat-log
• WSDL is available via the following link:http://Servername:Port/uc4ws/uc4ws?wsdl

I have copied the uc4ws.war file into the <tomcat>/webapps directory and the uc4ws folder has been created automatically.
I'm now on the next step of copying the lib folder from the JAX-WS download, but am not sure where the <internal_webservice> folder is in the webapps folder. I have the following folder options in webapps
docs
examples
host-manager
manager
ROOT
uc4ws

Also, if I do put the lib into the correct folder, the next step says "After deployment".... but there is no reference as to what the deployment is or how to actually do it ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi CraigSweeney611038 ,

<internal_webservice> refers to uc4ws, that's the name of our internal Web Service.
The folder location will be tomcat/webapps/uc4ws/WEB-INF/lib

Cheers,
Alexander

Hi Alexander. Thanks for that. I've added the lib directory into the folder as directed. However, I am now being hit with 401 errors.  If I look at our Production environment (version 10) I can see that in the /webapps/ECC directory there is a folder called "config". However, In my new AE 12 version, there is no config folder in the /webapps/uc4ws directory. Do you know where this config folder and it's contents comes from ? I can't see any reference to it in the instalation document under the "Installing the Internal webservice (tomcat)" section ?

Regards
Craig

ECC is the Enterprise Control Center. This is the WebGUI for V10.

As of V12 the ECC has been re-branded as the AWI or Automic Web Interface.

The Internal web-service uc4ws is for hosing a WSDL file for applications to interact with the AE via webservice calls. The config for the uc4ws is located at the url: http://Server name:Port/uc4ws/admin and not in a file like the ECC.

Are you trying to install the ECC, the internal web service, or both? 

[Craig Sweeney]

Sorry. I should close this issue. I raised a call with AE support and they confirmed that my AWI file was not the same size as theirs. I downloaded the file again and everything worked tickety boo. Thanks for all your support.

I'm glad everything worked out for you.
