2.4 AEM forms on JEE installation, configuration, and deployment lists

2.4.1 Automatic installation and deployment list
2.4.2 Manual installation and deployment list

This section includes lists that you can use to step through the installation and configuration process. A list is provided for installing and configuring when using either the automatic method or the manual method.

Automatic method: Refers to using Configuration Manager to configure the application server, configure and deploy AEM forms on JEE EAR files, initialize the database, and deploy the modules to the server. Use the automatic method if you want to have limited input into the installation, configuration, and deployment of AEM forms on JEE.
Manual method: Refers to using Configuration Manager only to configure AEM forms on JEE EAR files, initialize the database, and deploy the modules to the server. Configuring the application server, connecting to the database, and deploying AEM forms on JEE EAR files to the server is done manually by the administrator by following the instructions later in this document. Use the manual method if you want to have precise input into the installation, configuration, and deployment of AEM forms on JEE. For example, this method may be used in a locked-down server environment.

2.4.1 Automatic installation and deployment list

The following list includes the steps that are required for installing AEM forms on JEE modules by using the automatic method. Note that your application server or cluster must be installed before you perform the installation:

Ensure that you have the required software installed in the target environment. See the appropriate preparing guide at http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_aemforms_documentation_61.
Run the installation program. (See 3.3 Installing AEM forms on JEE .)
Run Configuration Manager and select all the tasks on the Task Selection screen. It configures the AEM forms on JEE EAR files, configures application server settings, deploys the EAR files and other components to the application server, initializes the AEM forms on JEE database, and verifies the deployment. (See Configuring AEM forms on JEE for Deployment chapter in this guide.)
Access the administration console and User Management. (See 5.1.3.1 Accessing administration console .)
(Optional) Configure LDAP access. (See 5.6 Configuring LDAP access .)

2.4.2 Manual installation and deployment list

The following list includes the steps that are required for installing AEM forms on JEE by using the manual method. Your application server or cluster must be installed and configured before you perform the installation.

Ensure that you have the required software installed and configured in the target environment.
Ensure that you created and configured the application server in the target environment.
Run the installation program.
Run Configuration Manager and select the Configure AEM forms on JEE EARs task. This task configures AEM forms on JEE.
Configure Application Server settings.
Deploy the EAR files to the application server. You can do this manually or use Configuration Manager.
Note: ( Cluster only ) Ensure that you deploy ear files to the application server on every node of the cluster, When deploying ear files to the application server, ensure that you map modules to the Cluster and the webserver.
Run Configuration Manager to initialize the AEM forms on JEE database and deploy AEM forms on JEE component files.
Access administration console and User Management.
(Optional) Configure LDAP access.
