Appeon Developer User Guide
Using Configure Tool

Profile Settings

Profile Name

Assign a name to the Appeon Server profile.

You should use names that are easy to remember and identify (for example "Appeon Server for Test" or "Remote Appeon Server").

Appeon Server Settings

Server Type

Select J2EE if Appeon Server is installed to EAServer, JBoss, JEUS, WebLogic, NetWeaver, or WebSphere; select .NET if Appeon Server is installed to Microsoft .NET Framework.

Server

Enter the IP address or the machine name of the Appeon Server.

Server Port (http)

Enter the HTTP port number used by Appeon Server.

Note: Do not enter an HTTPS port here, Appeon Developer must use an HTTP port to connect with Appeon Server, though the Appeon deployed application can be connected with an HTTPS port.

AEM Settings

AEM URL

The URL for Appeon Enterprise Manager (AEM) will be automatically generated after you specify the Server and Server Port. The URL will be in the following format: http://server:port/AEM, (for example, http://localhost:9988/AEM).

Note:

1) If you use EAServer as Appeon Server, the Appeon installation program creates an HTTP listener (localhost: 9988) for Appeon Server. If the Appeon Server configured is a local computer, the following URL should always work: http://localhost:9988/AEM.

2) Do not use a "localhost" listener in a production environment.

Connection method

Select HTTP or HTTPS to connect to AEM.

If the Web server is configured as an SSL Web Server, check the HTTPS (secure) option. Otherwise, check the HTTP (insecure) option.

Deployment Security Settings

Deployment Security

The Get State button can get the state of the Deployment Security settings in AEM. If Deployment Security is set to ON, the state will be "Enabled" and you must specify the deployment user name and password. By default, the Deployment Security in AEM is OFF, so the state is "Disabled".

Username

Enter the username used to deploy the application.

The username and password for the deployment security feature are configured in Appeon Enterprise Manager (AEM).

The username can be left blank if the deployment security feature is turned off in AEM.

Password

Enter the password used to deploy the application.

The username and password for the deployment security feature are configured in AEM.

The password can be left blank if the deployment security feature is turned off in AEM.

Profile Settings

Profile Name

Assign a name to the Web Server profile.

You should use names that are easy to remember and identify such as "Web Server for Test" or "Production Web Server".

File Transfer Type

Use Local Server if the Web Server is on the local machine.

Use Remote Server if the Web Server locates remotely.

Web Server Settings

Server Type

Select the Web server type.

Appeon supports the following Web Server types: Apache, EAServer, IIS, JBoss, WebLogic, WebSphere, NetWeaver, and JEUS.

HTTP Server

Enter the IP address or the machine name of Web Server.

HTTP Port

Enter the Web Server port number.

Note: Do not enter an HTTPS port here, even though the Web server is configured as an SSL Web server, because Appeon Developer must use an HTTP port to connect with Web server. However, you can access the deployed application with the HTTPS port.

Local Server Settings

Web Root Path

Enter the home directory of the Web server (for example:

for Apache, the home directory is <apache root>\htdocs

for EAServer, the home directory is C:\Program Files\Sybase\EAServer6\html;

for IIS, the home directory is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot;

for JBoss 5, the home directory is <jboss5 root>\server\<instance name>\deploy;

for JBoss 7, the home directory is <jboss7 root>\standalone\deployments;

for WebLogic 8, the home directory is C:\bea\user_projects\domains\appeon_domain\applications;

for WebLogic 9/10, the home directory is C:\bea\user_projects\domains\appeon_domain\autodeploy;

for WebSphere, the home directory is C:\IBM\WebSphere6\AppServer\installableApps;

For NetWeaver Application Servers, specify any path and then deploy the War file in the NetWeaver's administrative console.

Click the Browse button to select the home directory of the Web server.

FTP File Transfer Settings

FTP Port

Enter the FTP server port number. The typical FTP port is port 21.

If you use a remote Web Server, Appeon Developer will upload the files to Web Server using FTP protocol. Note that Appeon Developer works as a passive FTP client when uploading files. So you need to make sure that you are using passive FTP and the FTP data port and command port are configured properly in the firewall.

FTP Username

Enter the username for FTP login.

If the FTP server offers anonymous access then the username should be anonymous.

FTP Password

Enter the password for FTP login.

If no password is set for the FTP server or the FTP Username is anonymous, leave this field blank.
