Installing the web access server and the web access broker on Linux systems

When you install the web access server and the web access broker on Linux, you must install as the root user. To install the 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

  1. Go to the directory where you saved the installation file and run it. Files are automatically extracted, and the installation procedure begins.
  2. Follow the prompts to install the web access server and the web access broker.
  3. 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 Configuring DWA components to communicate.
