Installing a web application server

To host the web application that contains TPF Toolkit web services for scriptable code coverage, remote debug information, TPF Toolkit installation and update artifacts, and so on, you must install a web application server such as Apache Tomcat.

1. From the Apache Tomcat website, download and unpack a version of Apache Tomcat to your internal host.
2. Set up Apache Tomcat on the internal host. For more information, see the Tomcat Setup webpage.
3. Optional: Customize the context that your web applications are deployed to. For more information, see the Apache Tomcat Configuration Reference.
4. If you want to include source files in your code coverage collections, you must update the security policies ($CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.policy) to give read access to your source code directories. For more information, see the Security Manager HOW-TO webpage.
5. If you plan to use a secure z/TPF REST connection for any of the following supports, configure Apache Tomcat to support SSL or TLS.
   • Automatic source lookup
   • Remote debug information
   • Remote formatting code coverage
