如何在我的机器上设置IBM Work Light Server

Question

Hello Folks,

We are recently working on IBM worklight and what we want to try is:

We have two machine, one we want to set as server and other one is for my developer to build the app.

Currently we have installed Apache Tomcat server on the machine which we want to make as server. We even have IBM Worklight installed on it. Now What I want to achieve is to deploy the app from other machine to this server. But I am not able to set up the things properly.

Things done so far:

• Installed Apache Tomcat server software on a machine (server)
• Installed IBM Installation Manager

I am not getting how will I set up the Worklight Server on this machine. Can anyone provide some information?

Answer 1

You cannot directly deploy from Worklight Studio (the Eclipse plug-in) to a remote Worklight Server.

The steps you need to take are:

1. Setup your application for a remote server, via the Build Settings and Deploy Target window
2. Build the app
3. Take the .wlapp/.adapter file and deploy it to the remote Worklight Server via it's Worklight Console

If you have done any server-related changes (authenticationConfig.xml, Java code, ...) you will need to first deploy the project's .war file to the application server that hosts the remote Worklight Server, and then the .wlapp.
