4.1 Considerations when configuring and deploying AEM forms on JEE

• For IPv6, run IPv6 Configuration Manager. For detailed information, see IPv6 support section in prepare to install guide .

• You can override the default font for the Configuration Manager by adding the following JVM argument in [aem-forms root]\configurationManager\bin\ConfigurationManager.bat (Windows) or [aem-forms root]\configurationManager\bin\ConfigurationManager.sh (Linux, UNIX):

  -Dlcm.font.override=<FONT_FAMILY _NAME>

  For example:

  -Dlcm.font.override=SansSerif

  Restart the Configuration Manager after adding the JVM argument.

• Run Configuration Manager with the UTF-8 locale if you want to specify a content storage root directory having international characters.

• During configuration, if you must reset the data in Configuration Manager by using the Reset to Default option, ensure that you relaunch the Configuration Manager. Otherwise, you may encounter some missing configuration screens.

• During configuration, you must provide the location of the JDBC drivers for your database. The Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2 drivers are in the [aem-forms root] /lib/db/ [database] directory. For MySQL, download and install the necessary JDBC drivers.

  If you have manually configured JBoss, the database drivers have to be downloaded and copied in the [appserver root] /modules/system/layers/base

• Temporary directory: Do not specify a shared network directory as your temporary directory on cluster configurations. It is recommended to use local directory as a temporary directory. The temporary directory should exist on every node of the cluster and the path of the temporary directory should be same for every node of the cluster.

• For upgrades on the same operating system as your existing LiveCycle installation, you can specify the existing GDS location in the Configuration Manager. If you choose to change the directory, copy the contents of the existing GDS directory to the new location before you perform the Configure AEM forms on JEE (4 of 5) step in Configuration Manager.

• For upgrades on the same operating system as your existing LiveCycle installation, you can specify the existing CRX repository location in Configuration Manager. If you choose to change the directory, copy the contents of the existing CRX repository to the new location before you perform the Configure AEM forms on JEE (4 of 5) step in Configuration Manager.

This section describes the GUI version of Configuration Manager. For instructions about using the command line interface (CLI) version of Configuration Manager, see 7 Appendix - Configuration Manager Command Line Interface .

The Configure Application Server , Validate Application Server Configuration, and Deploy AEM forms on JEE EARs tasks are not available for JBoss.

You must configure JBoss and deploy the AEM forms on JEE EARs manually as described in the Deploying AEM forms on JEE to JBoss .

Setting the date, time, and time zone on all servers connected to your AEM forms on JEE environment will ensure that time-dependent modules, such as Digital Signatures and Reader Extensions function correctly. For example, if a signature appears to have been created in the future, it will not validate.

Servers that require time synchronization are database servers, LDAP servers, HTTP servers and J2EE servers (Application servers).
