If you set up one server as the application server and the Web server, and if Appeon Server is installed to the .NET IIS server, then Appeon Workspace is ready for installation without needing any additional configurations; but if Appeon Server is installed to the Java application server (such as JBoss, WebLogic, WebSphere etc.), then Appeon Workspace is not ready for installation, and you will need to deploy the Appeon Workspace app to the Java application server's built-in Web server first. Detailed instructions are provided below.
Step 1: Generate the appeonmobile.war file.
-
On Windows, execute the gen.bat file in the %ApplicationServer_Home%\appeon directory, for example, C:\Program Files\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\appeon. The %ApplicationServer_Home% indicates the directory where you install the application server, for example, C:\Program Files\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.
On Unix/Linux, execute the gen.sh file in the AppeonAWS folder of the installation package. On AIX OS, the GNU Bourne Again shell (Bash) is not installed by default. You would need to install Bash before you can execute gen.sh successfully in AIX.
-
In the command window, enter the IP address (for example, 192.0.1.204) and the port number (for example, 8000) of the current Appeon Server, and then press the Enter key.
After the commands are executed successfully, the appeonmobile.war file will be generated in the same directory with the gen.bat or gen.sh file.
Step 2: Deploy the appeonmobile.war file.
Deploy the appeonmobile.war file to the application server just as how you deploy the other applications.
Deploying appeonmobile.war to the WebSphere application server
If you deploy the appeonmobile.war file to the WebSphere application server, make sure to keep Context Root the same as the name of the appeonmobile.war file (which is appeonmobile as shown in the following figure), otherwise there may be errors that you could not download the Appeon Workspace IPA (iOS) or APK (Android) file.
