This section provides step-by-step instructions on how to manually deploy Enterprise RTView. Refer to Rich Client Browser with Direct Data Connection - Manual Deployment Process for a summary of these instructions. Alternatively, you can use the Deployment Wizard to guide you through this process.

NOTE: These instructions are intended for users with a working knowledge of HTML code and application server administration. If you do not have a full understanding of these topics, you will need assistance from your system administrator.

An Apache Tomcat application server is included with your Enterprise RTView installation for prototyping and testing your deployment before going into the production environment. The following instructions will work for your application server or the one that comes with Enterprise RTView.

Step 1: Setup Applet on Application Server

A: Verify System Requirements
Verify the following system requirements:

Application server. Basic system requirements In addition to basic system requirements, refer to the Data Sources section of this documentation for system requirements and setup specific to your data source. When finished proceed to Part B: Configure Applet.

In this section, you will create an HTML page that instances the Display Viewer Applet. All of the jars necessary to run the Display Viewer Applet can be found under your installation directory located in the lib directory. The jars in the lib directory are not digitally signed. If you need to deploy with signed jars, use the jars in lib\signed-jars.zip. The certificate in these jars will expire in March of 2009. 

See Applet Configuration for instructions on configuring the Display Viewer applet. Since you are not using the Data Server, you need to follow all instructions for configuring data sources.

 C: Install Applet
At this point you have verified system requirements and configured the applet. Follow the instruction in Hosting the Applet to install the applet to your application server. 

D: Register
At this point you have verified system requirements, configured and installed the applet.

Display Viewer Applet requires a separate license key from the Enterprise RTView application to run on a application server. Without a key, the Display Viewer Applet will run for 20 minutes to facilitate testing. No key is required to run locally.

Register Display Viewer Applet.

Step 1 is completed. Go to Step 2: Setup Report Servlet on Application Server.

Step 2: Setup Report Servlet on Application Server
At this point you have setup the applet on the application server.

Your Enterprise RTView installation includes an Apache Tomcat application server you can use to prototype and test your deployment before moving it to your production server. If you will be using this application server, the Report Servlet is already installed so you can skip to Step 3.

Follow the instruction in Report Servlet to setup and install the Report Servlet on your application server.

Step 2 is completed. Go to Step 3: Setup Client.

Step 3: Setup Client
At this point you have setup the applet and the Report Servlet on the application server.

Follow the instructions in Browser Client to setup your client.

When finished return to Step 4: Test Client.
