web access server and the web access broker on different machines, repeat the instructions on each
machine.
About this task
The
IBM®
Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® - Web
Access
(
DWA)
broker is the component that enables the exchange of messages between the Apache Tomcat and
interoperation servers.
To perform a silent installation, see Silently installing the DWA server.
Procedure
- Go to the directory where you saved the installation file
and run it. Files are automatically extracted, and the
installation procedure begins.
- Follow the prompts to install the web access server and
the web access broker.
- Optional: After the installation, the root user owns the files. If you plan to set up your system so that
a user other than the root user owns and starts DWA, you
must run a recursive chown command on the files from the root of the DWA
directory. For example:
chown -R user:group DWA_home
What to do next
Follow the instructions in
