Server Deployment

Learn how to deploy the OZ server and Viewer on the application server. And also learn how to upload e-Form files to the OZ server.

Deploying OZ Server

Deploy OZ Servlet Server to the Web Application Server

  1. In this course, we will use Tomcat as WAS.

  2. Go to the location in which you already extracted OZ Server files on your PC.C:\Program Files (x86)\FORCS\OZ Server and Scheduler 9.0\

  3. Copy the folder OZ Servlet 9.0 into tomcat\webapps\ .

  4. Rename OZ Servlet 9.0 as training.

  5. Get the Server license file from your instructor and put it intowebapps\training\WEB-INF\license\. And then rename it as ozlicense.xml .

  6. Now you can connect to OZ e-Form Server with a URL as below: http://localhost:8080/training/server

  7. Create the administrator account as shown below. Once you created the admin account, you will see information about OZ Server and System.

OZ Server Logfile

  • OZ server writes information about server start/stop, tracing tasks, and exception errors in log files.

  • If OZ Server is integrated into the tomcat, the log file path will be like this:

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\webapps\training\WEB-INF\logs\server.log

Activating OZ Server Console

Go to the OZ Server installation folder.

Open WEB-INF/conf/ozservice.properties.

Enable the Web Console as below.

ozservice.properties
#-------------------------------------------
# Main configuration of ozservice
#-------------------------------------------

#enable_ozserver=true/false [ default : true ]
#enable_webservice=true/false [ default : true ]
enable_webconsole=true
#dataservice_defaulttype=true/false [ default : true ]
#

Restart your WAS.

Once the login page comes up, log in with your admin account.

Deploying HTML5 Viewer

  1. Go to the location in which you downloaded the OZ HTML5 Viewer provided by FORCS. The folder should be named as 'OZViewerHTML5_[serial number]'.

  2. Copy the folder into the folder webapps\ under the Tomcat installation.

  3. Rename the folder name as html5viewer
