The procedure will guide you through the installation of the following components:
Once the application is installed, you should start ExtraView and set some specific behavior settings to ensure that you can then begin to configure ExtraView for your organization. The standard ExtraView implementation has a default set of defined fields with a default set of layouts for adding and updating issues, as well as a set of default layouts for searching and reporting.
Note: See the ExtraView Administration Guide for initial default specifications and the initial settings of behavior settings.
Throughout the installation steps you should be careful to substitute your own values for the following path and file names. It is also possible that other path names shown will be different on your target hardware. ExtraView expects that the experienced System Administrator will be able to recognize changes that may need to be made in the example scripts. If you are in any doubt, please contact ExtraView for support.
It is best to make any decisions before beginning the installation process if you want to change any of the following:
C:\ExtraView\install |
Temporary directory to hold the staging scripts and code. |
C:\ExtraView |
This is the root directory where ExtraView will be installed. |
server.domain.com |
The URL of the server as it will be published on your network |
serveradmin@yourcompany.com |
The email address to be displayed to the user if a server error occurs |
mail.server.com |
The address of the mail server to which ExtraView sends outgoing mail |
Please make sure to make a permanent record of all the changes that you make to these values.
As mentioned previously, the installation of database, Web server (Apache) and application server (Apache Tomcat) provide great flexibility with regards to configuration. The following instructions guide you through the simplest version, where database, web server and application server are installed on the same machine. If you wish to install a different configuration and need assistance, please contact ExtraView Support.
