Installation

Before installing ActiveVOS, ensure that you have access to your ActiveVOS Designer or Process Server licenses. Evaluation customers only need a license for ActiveVOS Designer and can use the embedded runtime engine for deployments. A link to download licenses was emailed to you or your company shortly after your purchase or evaluation request.

Apache Tomcat

In Apache Tomcat version 8.0, the maxActive and maxWait database connection pool settings have been renamed to maxTotal and maxWaitMillis. This name change affects the active-bpel.xml and activevos.xml files located in the Tomcat 7 directory.

If you run Apache Tomcat version 7.0, you must perform the tasks described in one of the following options:

Option A

Perform the following task after installation, but before you run the configuration wizard:

Copy the active-bpel.xml and activevos.xml files from

<install home>/server-enterprise/tomcat_config/conf/5.5.x/tomcat7

<install home>/server-enterprise/tomcat_config/conf/5.5.

Option B

Perform the following task after installation and after you run the configuration wizard:

In <install home>/<Tomcat7 folder>/conf/Catalina/localhost, open the active-bpel.xml and activevos.xml files in a text editor and then manually make the following changes:

- Change maxActive to maxTotal
- Change maxWait to maxWaitMillis

Save and close the files.

Console-Mode Installation

You can run the installation from the command line in console mode by using the following commands:

• On Windows

start/wait installer.exe -c

• On Linux

installer.sh -c

Installing Designer on Windows 7

ActiveVOS Designer writes to a number of directories within its installation path; for example, the ActiveVOS embedded Server. Windows 7 implements security mechanisms that can prevent modifications to files located in Program Files and other folders that are managed by the operating system. If this is how your system is configured, installing ActiveVOS Designer under Program Files could result in errors when starting the embedded server and deploying processes to it.

Here are potential workarounds:

•Install ActiveVOS Designer in a directory to which you have full permissions such as C:\ActiveVOS.

•Run ActiveVOS Designer using the Run as administrator option.

•Turn off User Account Control (UAC) from Windows 7 by setting UAC to Never Notify.

•Modify the rights of the following folder to grant modify access to your account. Be sure that the new permission is copied down this entire directory structure:

[ActiveVOS Installation Directory]\Designer\designer

•Copy the Server folder under the following location to a location for which you have permission to write. When you create a new embedded engine in Designer, select the Add link next to Server runtime environment to point to this location:

[ActiveVOS Installation Directory]\Designer\designer\plugins\org.activebpel.enginep_9.2.4.4
