4.3 Configuring and deploying LiveCycle

Note: If you plan to install Correspondence Management Solution, ensure that you have run the Correspondence Management Solution installer before running the Configuration Manager. For more information, see Installing Correspondence Management Solution.

Configuring LiveCycle

On the Configure LiveCycle ES3 (1 of 5) screen, click Configure and click Next when done.
On the Configure LiveCycle ES3 (2 of 5) screen, click Next to accept the default directory locations, or click Browse to navigate to and change the directories that LiveCycle will use to access fonts, and then click Next.
Note: Your right to use fonts provided by parties other than Adobe is governed by the license agreements provided to you by such parties with those fonts, and is not covered under your license to use Adobe software. Adobe recommends that you review and ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable non-Adobe license agreements before using non-Adobe fonts with Adobe software, particularly with respect to use of fonts in a server environment.
Click Browse on the Configure LiveCycle ES3 (3 of 5) screen to specify the Location of the temporary directory.

Note: If you do not specify the temporary directory, the default system-configured temp location is used.
On the Configure LiveCycle ES3 (4 of 5) screen, click Browse to specify the path for the Global Document Storage (GDS) directory.
Note: If you leave the GDS directory field empty, LiveCycle will create the directory in a default location in the application server directory tree. After you finish the configuration steps, you can access the location from Administration Console > Settings > Core System Settings > Configurations.
On the Configure Persistent Document Storage (5 of 5) screen, select the option for persistent document storage in addition to the GDS directory. Select one of the following:
- Use GDS: Use the file system-based GDS for all persistent document storage. This option provides the best performance, and a single location for GDS.
- Use database: Use the LiveCycle database for storing the persistent documents and long-lived artifacts. However, the file-system based GDS is also required. Using the database simplifies backup and restore procedures.
Click Configure to configure the LiveCycle EARs with this directory information and, after the configuration is complete, click Next.

Configuring Acrobat for PDF Generator

(Windows only) On the Configure Acrobat For LiveCycle PDF Generator screen, click Configure to run the script that will configure Adobe Acrobat and required environment settings. Click Next when complete.

Note: This screen will perform the desired configuration only when Configuration Manager is running locally. You must have Adobe Acrobat X already installed or this step will fail.

LiveCycle Configuration Summary

On the Configure LiveCycle ES3 Summary screen, click Next. Configured archives are placed in the [LiveCycle root]/configurationManager/export directory.

Configure Correspondence Management Solution

Important: If you are installing Correspondence Management Solution on a non-Windows machine, ensure that you set the ulimit (Open Files, -n) parameter to 8192. Otherwise, the configuration on this steps might fail with an error.

In Correspondence Management Solution Configuration screen, specify the path to the content repository for Correspondence Management Solution and click Configure to create the required repository files at the specified location. The default location is [LiveCycle root]\crx-repository.

Note: (Non-turnkey custom mode only) If your LiveCycle server is running remotely, select Server is running on remote host, and specify the path to the content repository on the remote host.

It configures the Correspondence Management Solution to bundle within the LiveCycle Core EAR file.

Click Next to continue.

(Turnkey mode only) A backup (adobe-jboss-core-ear.orig) for the original LiveCycle Core EAR file is taken in the [LiveCycle root]\deploy folder. You can restore the EAR file in case you want to run the set up again without Correspondence Management Solution.

Correspondence Management Solution Configuration Summary

For a remote deployment, copy the content from the [LiveCycle root]/configurationManager/export/crx-quickstart/ directory to the location on the remote host you specified on the Correspondence Management Solution Configuration screen.

Note: In case of clustered deployment, you must copy the content from the [LiveCycle root]/configurationManager/export/crx-quickstart/ directory to the specified location on all cluster node hosts.

Configuring your application server and database

On the Application Server Configuration Details screen, provide the information for the fields (all fields are mandatory) and then click Verify Server Connection. When the verification has completed successfully, click Next.

Note: If WebSphere Administrative Security is off, User Name and Password fields can be left blank.

Note: When using WebSphere Cluster or WebSphere Network Deployment server to configure a standalone WebSphere Application server, enter the port number of the deployment manager in the SOAP Port field.
On the Application Server Configuration Selection screen, select the tasks for Configuration Manager to perform, and click Next.
On the Server Settings Configuration screen (appears only if Configure Server Settings was selected), provide the information for the fields, and then click Next.

Note: LCM does not configure configure -Dadobe.cache.multicast-address and -Dadobe.cache.bind-address jvm arguments. You may need to configure these arguments manually. See Modifying the JVM properties section for more details.
On the Datasource Configuration screen (appears only if Configure Datasource option is selected), provide the information for the fields and then click Test Database Connection. When the connection is tested successfully, click Next.

You can choose to manually configure data sources rather than allowing Configuration Manager to configure them for you. To override automatic data source configuration, select Manually configure data source in the WebSphere Administrative Console now before continuing, at the bottom of the screen.

Without exiting Configuration Manager, go to the application server administration console, and configure data sources as described in 9.5 Configuring the LiveCycle database connectivity in Installing LiveCycle for WebSphere Server Guide.

Note: By default, Configuration Manager creates datasources at node level. To set the datasource at the server level, see how to create a JDBC provider for your database in 9 Appendix - Manually Configuring WebSphere in the Installing and Deploying LiveCycle for WebSphere guide.
On the Application Server Configuration screen, click Configure. When the process is completed, click Next.
On the Application Server Configuration Validation screen, select the tasks for validating and then click Validate and select Yes on prompt to deploy adobe-lcm-lcmvalidator.ear. When the process is completed, click Next.

Choose installation verification sample (IVS) EAR files

(Forms, Output, and Assembler only) On the LiveCycle Installation Verification Sample (IVS) EAR files screen, you can install three service-specific sample applications. Select Include IVS EARs in deployment set and click Next to install these sample files.

adobe-output-ivs-jboss.ear and adobe-forms-ivs-jboss.ear appears only if you selected respective modules in Modules screen.

Note: Do not deploy the IVS EAR files to a production environment.

Deploying LiveCycle EARs

On the Deploy LiveCycle ES3 EARs screen, select the EAR files to deploy, and then click Deploy. This operation may take several minutes to complete. When the deployment has completed successfully, click Next.

Note: (WebSphere only) When Configuration Manager has started the execution of the IBM WebSphere® JACL deployment scripts, you cannot stop the deployment even if you exit or cancel Configuration Manager prior to deployment completion. No user action is required because the product EARs will be successfully deployed.

By default, Configuration Manager deploys the EAR files to the WebSphere default virtual host, default_host. To deploy the EAR files to a different virtual host, select the target host from the Virtual Host list.

To connect to the application server using a secure port while running Configuration Manager, do the following tasks:

Add the crypto.jar file provided by IBM to the LiveCycle Configuration Manager path.
Set the following JVM argument to disable hostname verification:
```
ssl.disable.url.hostname.verification.CWPKI0027I=CWPKI0027I 
```
You can connect to the application server using this workaround only if you are using the default HTTPS port.

Initializing LiveCycle database

On the LiveCycle ES3 Database Initialization screen, verify that the hostname and port number provided for your application server is correct and then click Initialize. The database initialization task creates tables in the database, adds default data to the tables, and creates basic roles in the database. When the initialization has completed successfully, click Next. Restart the application server manually when you are prompted to do so.
Note: The data source definition files have to be modified to point to the database server and database. For more information, see Appendix - Manually Configuring Data Sources.
On the LiveCycle ES3 Information screen, enter LiveCycle ES3 User ID and Password whose default values are administrator and password respectively.

Click Verify Server Connection, and when complete, click Next.

Note: The server information that appears on this screen represents default values for the deployment.

Verifying the server connection helps narrow troubleshooting in case failures occur in the deployment or validation. If the connection test passes but deployment or validation fails in the next few steps, connectivity issues can be eliminated from the troubleshooting process.
