4.2.1 Installing AEM forms on JEE

  1. Do one of the following:

    • From the download site, download and extract the entire JBoss_DVD.zip file (the AEM forms on JEE Electronic Software Distribution or ESD file) to your file system. Be sure to keep the directory hierarchy unchanged from the JBoss_DVD.zip file.

      • After extracting the ZIP file, launch the installer using one of the following methods:

      • (for 32-bit systems) double-click the install.exe file from the \server\Disk1\InstData\Windows\VM folder

      • (for 64-bit systems) double-click the install.exe file from the \server\Disk1\InstData\Windows_64\VM folder

    • From the JBoss DVD, navigate to the \server folder. Launch the installer using one of the following methods:

      • (for 32-bit systems) double-click the install.exe file from the \server\Disk1\InstData\Windows\VM folder

      • (for 64-bit systems) double-click the install.exe file from the \server\Disk1\InstData\Windows_64\VM folder

      Note: 32-bit version is for development and evaluation purposes only.
      Note: For 32-bit installation, ensure that Adobe_JAVA_HOME environment variable is set for the 32-bit version of JDK.
  2. When prompted, select the language for installation, and then click OK .

  3. On the Introduction screen, click Next .

  4. The Preparation for Upgrade screen appears only if you have LiveCycle ES4 installed on the target machine, perform one of the following operations:

    • Select Prepare to upgrade existing installation to Adobe Experience Manager forms to upgrade the current LiveCycle ES4 service pack 1 (SP1) installation to AEM forms on JEE. If the path displayed does not point to the location of the LiveCycle ES4 installation you would like to upgrade, click Browse to specify the path of the LiveCycle ES4 instance you would like to upgrade. For detailed steps to upgrade, see Upgrading to AEM forms for JBoss Turnkey

    • Select Install Adobe Experience Manager Forms to install AEM forms on JEE and specify the path where you want to install it.

  5. On the Choose Install Folder screen, accept the default directory as listed or click Choose and navigate to the directory where you want to install AEM forms on JEE, and then click Next . This directory is referred to as [aem-forms root] . The default path is C:\Adobe\Adobe_Experience_Manager_forms\.

    Use Restore Default Folder button, to replace user added path to default installation path.

    Note: It is recommended that the installation directory path should not exceed 40 characters. And it must not contain international or special characters.
  6. On the Choose Installation Type screen, select the installation type and click Next :

    • Select Turnkey under Typical as the installation type for a typical turnkey installation. Turnkey option installs AEM forms on JEE, JBoss 6.2 EAP, MySQL 5.5 database, and JDK 1.7.0_25.

    • Select Partial Turnkey under Custom if you want to use a database other than the preconfigured MySQL database. AEM forms on JEE, JBoss application server, and JDK 1.7.0_25 are installed by default.

    • Select Manual if you do not want a turnkey installation but instead want a custom install. This option is selected by default if you already have a JBoss application server and MySQL database installed on your system with their Windows service names identical to those created by the AEM forms on JEE installer.

    Note: For Manual installations, see the Installing and Deploying AEM forms on JEE guide for your application server. Also, review all preparatory steps in Preparing to Install AEM forms on JEE before continuing.
  7. (For MySQL provided with the installer only) On MySQL Database selection screen, set the MySQL root administrator password and, optionally, type your MySQL port number. This screen appears only if you are performing a turnkey installation, or in a partial turnkey installation when you have selected the Include the Turnkey MySQL option.

    Note: MySQL does not allow special characters or spaces in the user name or password. Ensure that you record this password for future reference.
    • To verify that the port number is available for use, click Test . If the port is available, the installer displays a green check mark. If the port is in use, the installer displays a red X.
