For the WildFly or JBoss EAP application server, be sure to select PowerServer for JBoss, as shown in the following figure.

For Developer Edition and Trial Edition, if more than one application servers such as JBoss, WebSphere, etc. are installed on the same computer, you can repeatedly run the setup program to install PowerServer to these application servers, for example, you can first run the setup program and select PowerServer for JBoss to install PowerServer to the WildFly application server, you can then run the setup program again and select PowerServer for WebSphere to install PowerServer to the WebSphere application server.

Refer to the following sections to complete the installation of each component.

  • For PowerServer Mobile/Web installation instructions, refer to PowerServer Mobile/Web installation.

  • For PowerServer Help installation instructions, refer to PowerServer Help installation.

  • For PowerServer Web Component installation instructions, refer to PowerServer Web Component installation.

    Note

    If you are using one WildFly or JBoss EAP application server as both the PowerServer and the Web server, then you will not need to install PowerServer Web Component, because it is included in PowerServer and will be installed automatically during PowerServer installation.
