Start the Apache Tomcat server to deploy the connector
web application.
Before you begin
Apache Tomcat is secure.
About this task
Apache Tomcat is installed in the
SAPCInstallDir/server/tomcat directory.
The web application (
SAPConnector.war), is installed
in the Apache Tomcat directory
webapps. When
you start the server, you start the connector web application.
Tips: Apache Tomcat is configured to use ports 9080 and 9443 in the SAPCInstallDir/server/tomcat/conf/server.xml file.
If necessary, change the port assignments as appropriate for your
system. For example, running the connector on the same server that
is used by CLM requires a change to the port assignments. For more
information, see Changing the port numbers for the application server.
- The SAPCInstallDir/server/logs directory
contains the server log files. If you cannot start the server, check
the log files.
Procedure
Starting the server on Windows
To start the server on Windows, complete one of these steps: - Click to start the Apache Tomcat application server.
- Change to the SAPCInstallDir/server directory
and run the following command:
server.startup.bat
Important: - Do not stop the server before the connector web application is
deployed. If you do stop the server, you must delete the SAPConnector/ directory
under webapps/ and start the server again to
deploy the connector web application.
- If the server is installed in the default Program Files directory,
to be able to write to this directory, you must run the startup program
as an administrator in Windows Server
2008 R2.
A separate Apache Tomcat console window opens. If you
close this window, the server stops. Depending on your installation
options, the server startup might take a few minutes. After the server
is started, the startup time in milliseconds is displayed in the Tomcat window.
For example, Server startup in 203645 ms
Stopping the server on Windows
To stop the server, complete one of these steps: - Click
- Change to the SAPCInstallDir/server directory
and run this command:
server.shutdown.bat
Starting the server on UNIX
To start the server, from the SAPCInstallDir/server directory,
run this command: ./server.startup.sh
Important: Do not stop the server before the connector web application
is deployed. If you do stop the server, you must delete the sap/ directory
under webapps/ and start the server again to
deploy the connector web application.
A separate
Apache Tomcat console window does not open. You can check the server
startup progress by viewing the SAPCInstallDir/server/logs/jts.log.
After you access the server for the first time, the logs directory
under SAPCInstallDir/server is
created.
Stopping the server on UNIX
To stop the server, from the SAPCInstallDir/server directory,
run this command: ./server.shutdown.sh
