Installation

UrbanCode Release is configured as a Tomcat web application.

Server Installation Steps

  1. Download and install the Apache Tomcat web server. Versions 6 and 7 are supported.

    Note

    Installing the Tomcat server on the same machine where IBM uDeploy is located will improve performance for IBM uDeploy integration. If you place both servers on the same machine, ensure that they do not use the same port.

  2. Download UrbanCode Release from the UrbanCode, and IBM Company support site: http://support.urbancode.com/. The installation package consists of a single .war file.

    Note

    The .war file's name will include the a version number. Because the file name will become part of the URL created by Tomcat, a good strategy is to rename the file to something meaningful to you and something that will not frequently change.

  3. Deploy UrbanCode Release into Tomcat by copying the installation .war file to Tomcat's webapps directory. Before copying the file, first shutdown the Tomcat server. Tomcat will deploy the application the next time the server is started.

    Note

    If the Tomcat autoDeploy attribute is set to 'true,' the .war can be copied to Tomcat while it is running.

    Or, if you prefer, you can also use the Tomcat Application Manager to deploy the .war file.

Once deployed, you can access UrbanCode Release at the following URL: http://host:port/urelease_name

where host:port resolves to your Tomcat instance, and urelease_name is name of the UrbanCode Release .war file.

The initial credentials are:

  • user ID: admin
