Installing war using custom installer or MSI + tomcat question

hi all ! well Im planing since I finished my project to create a installer for the users. I must take into count that most of the users will be non experienced, so I was thinking in making a installer that has already build or ask for installation of this programs & their proper configuration (PHP,Mysql,etc), rather than waiting for a customer to do it. That way I would avoid all kind of troubles with unexperienced users.
So my first question is ... is possible to load the WAR file and make the program run without using tomcats interface?
Or wich would be the best way to do it?
Thanks a lot for any feedback.

Or wich would be the best way to do it?Host it somewhere and just give an URL. That's the normal case for webapplications. The way of distributing as you described is only normal for desktop applications.

Error when Installing NW04 using Rapid Installer:FJS-00003 ReferenceError

Hi friends,
As a part of Portal migration, i am installing NW04 using Rapid Installer 2.5.1 for SunOS.
Installation went fine till phase "Database Oracle Patch" but in "Oracle Sidadm Env" phase, an error occured.
Acc. to sapinst.log file:
FJS-00003 ReferenceError: mgt is not defined (in script InstallationScript_10, line 12689: ???)
I searched in SDN and found SAP Note 785921 and 668604. Both are asking us to do the same thing i.e.
After the following line in control.xml
"OraJ2ee.prototype.CreateProfilesFromTemplate = function() { "
insert the line
var mgt = new FileMgt();
I did the same but no luck. I stopped the installation and again started it to see if it works but again the same thing.
Can some one just tell me how to get rid off it?
Regards,
Nilz

Hi Asshish,
After installing the oracle database did you check whether JDK version is correct in the environment variables before installing the rapid installer.
What happens is that oracle resets the JDK version to lower version, which is not acceptable to portal. So after installing the oracle verify the version of JDK in the Environment variables and the JAVA_HOME variable.
Then you try to install the RI 2.5.1

Problems installing when using custom library

I can't install generated application on iPad (IOS report installation error), when I use custom library. Before DPS App Builder v25 all was OK, problems started after 1 feb, when I installed new AppBuilder. I can't install any application (generated from AppBuilder v25) with custom library, incl. reference applications from devnet articles.

Hi, Neil!
Thank you for your attantion to my problem. Explain me successful installation on IOS when I use standard library with identical certificates.
IOS reports "installation failed" only when I switch to custom library.
P.S.: our friend with another DPS Pro account have the same error. He tries to create 2 "Pro" applications, first installation success, second fail. All certificates and mobileprovisions created yesterday...

Install Maveric using USB installer on a Mac Book Air 2.1 following a new SSD?

Hi,
Mine Mac book Air 2.1 [2GB,128GB SSD, 2.13GHz] seem to suggest a need for a SSD replacement. Mt Mac book Air was shipped with Snow Leopard 2nd Sept 2009.
My question is is it possible to install Maveric OS X directly on my new SDD if I use a Maveric install USB that is created on another Mac Book Pro? Or Do I have to first install my Snow Leopard Disk that was shipped with my computer and update to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 combo v1.1 on the new SSD prior to migrate to Maveric OS X using my created Maveric USB installer?
Thanking you for your assistance
Regards

I don't quite understand what you have done. But to use the SSD you must first partition it then format it:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Once you complete the above, then quit Disk Utility and return to the installer. Complete the installation of Snow Leopard. When you have done that restart the computer from the SSD to see if it's working properly. You can then upgrade to Mavericks by re-downloading Mavericks from the App Store.
Only OWC can tell you if there is a firmware update for their drives. We have no way of knowing that.

Acrobat X crashed on install while using Applications Installer

Creative Cloud Applications Installer says Acrobax X Pro is installed. It crashed on install. How do I reinstall it?

Jeff - my apologies. I figured it out a while ago and haven't gotten back to clear it. I have moved over to the dark side from Windows and missed a few tricks. Safari was still hiding in the background. I was finally able to reinstall the app properly. Thanks for replying! - Jim

Error attempting to read from the source install database: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\e2120a.msi?

I have had itunes before but now its not working. I've tried many times to fix this problem but i none work. I also got a error 7 (Windows error 999) but now not anymore hopefully. I really need help on this problem. (If this helps, Before i was updating itunes and my computer froze so i turn it off and that was when everything went crazy).

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Force custom installation with Packagemaker/Iceberg

Hi everyone,
I'm building an installer for After Effects plug-ins, and I need the end user to select either the AE 6.5 or AE 7.0 version to install from the Custom Installation menu in the metapackage installer I've created.
The issue is I want the Custom Installer page to pop up as soon as the user selects the installation Volume and the installation directory. Currently, if you choose the Volume and Directory, it goes straight to the Easy Installation page, and I don't want this to happen, since click-happy users are going to try to blaze right through the installer and install to the wrong location.
In 10.4, this is possible by leaving both installer packages in the metapackage set to "Unselected," which makes the user select the install destination, plus choose which version to install. I need this to work in OS 10.3.9, but I just can't get it to work the same way with both packages unselected. Can anyone give me some suggestions?
Thanks,
Marco

Can we install tomcat using BO installer files

Hi Everyone,
We want to install Business Objects with Tomcat but on 2 separate servers. Tomcat in one and the rest of the BO Servers in another. Can we use the installer files provided by SAP to install just the Tomcat? If yes what should be the right order, install BO servers first and then Tomcat? Your help and suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
The sequence to setting up a split deployment is to first install the BO Services and CMS on one server (note: deselect the WACS option) and then secondly setup the Web Tier (using the bundled Tomcat software) on the second server.
PS: I prefer rather to use the custom installation option as then you have more control over the components been installed.
After installing the 2 servers, you will have to adjust ceratin configuration files on the tomcat server to point to the correct CMS.
For example:
if ypou have the following servers:
- Server 1 (i.e. bodev) for the BO services
- Server 2 (i.e. webdev) for the Web tier
After the installation the web server will have references to the CMS as follows: webdev:6400, this will have to be changed to bodev:6400 where the CMS is located.

Adobe Reader "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon not installing when Using MSI Installer.

I'm trying to do a silent install of Adobe Reader - and I notice that when I use the EXE installer, with no manual configuration, I have the "Adobe PDF Reader" Addon in Internet Explorer (IE11).
When Installing the MSI - With or without a transform, I do not get the addon. I get a "PDF Link Helper" but no PDF Reader addon. Has anyone experienced this?

Hi geoffubazi,
The 'Adobe PDF Reader' Addon should install even if you run the .msi file.
Check under the Add on option- 'Run without permission' as shown in the screen shot below and it will list the 'Adobe PDF Reader' Add on

To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

Custom installation using XE

Basic installation of SOA Suite does not seems to work, I don't why.
I have tried Custom installation using XE Database which works but Apcahe
Web Server is throwing exceptions in installation phase (when installation process tries to launch unmanaged Apache module when configurating it) so it terminates too. So boring!
Is it possible to use XE's Http server as SOA Suite's Http Server?
How to configure that?

AFAIK, there is NO compilation of Apache on the win32 platform. If you use Vista please verify that it is certified to install SOA Suite there. Another common pitfall is not reading the installation guide and using computers with DHCP....

Custom Login Module for Tomcat to procted apps using Oracle Access Manager

Hi all,
I have the following scenario.
A web application deployed in Tomcat to be protected using OAM. One solution is to use Access Gate though we have other alternative as Proxy infront of Tomcat with a webgate. Now I am implementing the Access Gate solution.
So, when the user clicks the tomcat application, then the prompt (BASIC) appears for login details. custom login module should kick in and take those login details and authenticate against OAM using Access SDK API.
I have created access gate profile and installed Access SDK. Ran the ConfigureAccessGateTool as well.
I did some research googling for login module. I came to know that we need to write a custom realm for it. So, this realm implementation involves specifying role-name etc., in web.xml where the role-name would have been defined in tomcat-users.xml.
This means that the user trying to authenticate against OAM has to have some roles defined in Tomcat to login. I didnot understand the flow end to end as how this will work.
Please let me know if anybody has done this of customization.
Thanks,
Mahendra.

Hi Ambarish,
Initially I thought of implementing the way you suggested in Option 2.
But there will be various redirections when we use option 2 as the login page should redirect it to a page where OAM authentication and authorization stuff has to be handled. And accordingly we have to redirect it to specific pages upon successful atn and atz. Hence, I was opted using Custom Login Module.
However, I have been trying Option 2 now. In web.xml, I have specified a login page with FORM scheme. The login redirects it to another page say OAM_Authentication_Handler.jsp. Here we code which serves atn and atz. Upon doing this, I have observed that the protected resource in OAM is not getting evaluated using the method
String ms_protocol = "http";
String ms_method = "GET";
String ms_resource = "http://localhost:8080/FormLogin/private.jsp";
ObResourceRequest rrq = new ObResourceRequest(ms_protocol, ms_resource, ms_method);
The method rrq.isProtected() is returning false which implies it to unprotected. I have tested using Access Tester for the resource and it results in expected behaviour.
Is there any limitation here by using this approach?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mahendra.

Silent install Air Runtime and Air App with custom installer?

I want to use a custom installer that will perform some actions, and then silently install air runtime and an air application. The goal here is to be able to perform a customized install for an Air application (for a user that might not have Air installed) without confusing the user with multiple install screens. Can I use a custom installer to silently install Air (if the user doesn't have it installed) and the Air app? If so, are there any restrictions on the custom installer? If there are any examples of this, please provide the links.

Since you applied for the distribution from Adobe you should
have received a link to a page where you can download what they
call the "side-car" installer. It's basically an installation
system they are making available to developers that can be easily
configured to deliver a bundled runtime and application
installation for Mac and Windows.
Check your email again and see if you can't find a link in
there pointing you to a download page for the AIR runtime as well
as the aforementioned side-car installer. For those who don't know,
here
is where you can apply for a redistribution permit for AIR.
I have a small tutorial posted that might be of help to you
