Deploying a BusinessWorks FormBuilder EAR File

For this deployment example, the Employee Assistance tutorial application will be used.

Start TIBCO Designer and open the Employee Assistance tutorial project. Follow the instructions in the readme file, providing values for the Global Variables, up to and including building the EAR file.

See Summary of Pre-Deployment Steps for more information.

Ensure that TIBCO Administrator, TIBCO Hawk Agent, and Tomcat server are running.

1.	Log into TIBCO Administrator as an admin user and select Application Management.

2.	Click on New Folder and name the new folder FormBuilder Deployments.

3.	Click on the FormBuilder Deployments folder link to enter the new folder.

4.	Click on New Application. This displays the New Application Configuration page.

5.	Click Browse to locate and select the EmployeeAssistanceApp.ear file.

6.	Click OK to return to the New Application Configuration page.

7.	From the dropdown list, change the Target Value to Disable Service for the two services, TIBCOpps.war and TIBCOpas_pps.war. The reason these services are disabled is that they have already been deployed to Tomcat during the PortalBuilder deployment.

At this point your screen should look similar to Figure 68.

The contents of the FormBuilder Deployments folder is displayed.

9.	Click on the EmployeeAssistanceApp in the Configuration screen.

Select Advanced tab. Provide the value for the Application Domain Name same as the Portal Builder Application domain name.
