7.2 Deploying a Software Extension

After a software extension has been created, you need to deploy it into the Kablink Teaming site.

7.2.1 Prerequisites

Before you deploy the software extension, ensure the following:

  • You must have access to the software extension’s WAR file.

  • You must have access to the host operating system where you will copy the WAR file.

7.2.2 Deploying the Extension

  1. Change to the following directory:

    Linux:

    		 
    /opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat-version/
                           webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config

    Windows:

    		 
    c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat-version\
                           webapps\ssf\WEB-INF\classes/config

  2. Open the ssf-ext.properties file in a text editor.

  3. Locate the following line:

    data.extension.root.dir=directory

  4. Make a note of the directory.

  5. Close the ssf-ext.properties file without saving it.

  6. Change to the directory listed in the ssf-ext.properties file, then change to the extensions subdirectory.

    The extensions subdirectory has a subdirectory for each zone in your Teaming system. The default zone name for a Teaming 2.0 system is kablink.

  7. Place the WAR file in the subdirectory for zone where you want the extension to be available.
