Problem

How to setup Tomcat on Windows to avoid the Web UI displaying no data

Resolution

Assuming that:

• OpenJdk 8 is installed in Tomcat 9 is unarchived in C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jre-8.0.392.8-hotspot
• Tomcat 9 is unarchived in C:\Axway\apache-tomcat-9.0.85
• A Tomcat9 service exists named: Tomcat9

Open and run a command prompt as an administrator, then:

1. Create a WebUI directory

   mkdir C:\Axway\Automator\WebUI

2. Change directory to the bin directory of the apache-tomcat-9.0.85 instance we installed
   

cd /d D:\Axway\apache-tomcat-9.0.85

3. Delete the Service Tomcat9

tomcat9 //DS//Tomcat9

4. Recreate the service.
   Check where the OpenJdk 8 was installed, It should be the default location:

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jre-8.0.392.8-hotspot service install axw-automator-tomcat9-8080

You should get a display such as:

Installing the service 'axw-automator-tomcat9-8080' ... Using CATALINA_HOME: "C:\Axway\apache-tomcat-9.0.85" Using CATALINA_BASE: "C:\Axway\apache-tomcat-9.0.85" Using JAVA_HOME: "C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jre-8.0.392.8-hotspot" Using JRE_HOME: "C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jre-8.0.392.8-hotspot" Using JVM: "C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jre-8.0.392.8-hotspot\bin\server\jvm.dll" The service 'axw-automator-Tomcat9-8080' has been installed.

5. Then update some of the service default settings:

tomcat9 //US//axw-automator-tomcat9-8080 --Description="Apache Tomcat Server For Axway Autoamtor webUI" tomcat9 //US//axw-automator-tomcat9-8080 -- Startup=auto tomcat9 //US//axw-automator-tomcat9-8080 ++Environment TZ=CET#AXWAY_AUTOMATOR_NEW_UI_HOME=C:\Axway\Automator\WebUI

6. Restart the service

sc start axw-automator-Tomcat9-8080

Connect to the Automator's WebUI and check there are directories and files created in the subdirectory tree C:\Axway\Automator\WebUI
