Installing the Plug-In for AWI

This topic describes the steps to install the CDA plug-in for Automic Web Interface.

To Install the CDA Plug-In for AWI

  1. Start Tomcat.
  2. Copy the following files to the AWI autoinstall Tomcat folder:

    • webui-plugin-bond-*.jar

    • webui-plugin-pluginmanager-*.jar

    • webui-plugin-actionbuilder-*.jar

    Example path: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\AWI\WEB-INF\autoinstall

    Note:

    • PCK.AUTOMIC_BOND 1.2.x is the minimum compatible version for the Release Manager v12.2.8. Higher versions of the BOND package are also supported. However, when installing them, you may get an error message informing about invalid custom types. These messages can be safely ignored.

  3. Check and configure the connection.properties configuration file.

    Example path: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\awi\config\webui-plugin-bond\connection.properties)

    Important! Ensure that the URL matches the CDA URL defined in IIS while installing the Web Server Application.

    Example content in connection.properties:

    url=http://localhost/rm_main (URL of BOND on IIS)

    timeout=60000 (BOND session timeout)

    package_folder=/PACKAGES (folder containing Continuous Delivery Automation packages)

    use_dedicated_api=true

    rest_connect_timeout=60000

    rest_read_timeout=60000

    use_dedicated_api=true (allows to use dedicated API for Deployment Pipeline)
