9.2 Deploying a Software Extension

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

9.2.1 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.

9.2.2 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.

    For more information about zones, see Section 8.0, Setting Up Zones (Virtual Teaming Sites).
