Installing and configuring Apache Tomcat

Apache Tomcat must be installed and running on your computer before the IBM® Cognos® Incentive Compensation Management web client can be deployed.

Procedure

Download and install Apache Tomcat 6 or 7 from the following website: http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi
  1. If you are installing the web client on Windows, download and run the Windows Service Installer Tomcat distribution.
  2. If you are not installing the web client on Windows, install Tomcat using the archive provided on the following website: http://tomcat.apache.org
Important: When Tomcat is run as a service, there will not be a tray icon present while Tomcat is running. An exception to this rule occurs when opting to run Tomcat at the end of the installation process. Then the installer will create shortcuts for starting and configuring Tomcat. The Tomcat Web administration application can only be used when Tomcat is running.
