environment.

2. Webfocus Client Installation 8.1.03
1. Client Installation
 Login to Client server using webfocus administrator ID/Password
 Map the below shared server for installation files:
\\nastst\BIRPTDEV\WebFocus Intall File 8.1.04\8.1.04 Client software
\\Agnas\birptprd\Webfocus Upgrade Project Version 8104\8.1.04 Client software
 Copy Oracle_JAR folder under C:\

 Click on installWebFOCUS8103.exe

 Mail server for SLAB: rsmtp.allegistest.com

Mail server for Production: rsmtp.allegisgroup.com
 Uncheck ‘Derby’ option and select Oracle
 Select ‘configure apache Tomcat 7wf stand-alone’ checked (Do not configure IIS; SSO will be implemented by
IBI Security Consultant)
New DEV Database Configuration:
Use the repository ID: WF8REP; DB server node/ORASID should be provided by DBA
In Development environment, the configuration did not work automatically because Database is in a clustered
environment. If the same problem occurs in production, follow the below instructions under “Configure the DB to
create repository tables” (Note: Please ignore the error WF Report Caster not installed in this case).

2.2 Alternate way to “Configure the DB to create repository tables”
Complete the client installation without configuring the Database. After the install, modify the JDBC URL that gets
created. URL can be found at below location: C:\ibi\WebFOCUS81\config\webconfig.xml. Look for the block called
“IBI_Repos_DB_URL”:
Note: Use “/” instead of “:” as highlighted in RED
<context-param>
<param-name>IBI_Repos_DB_URL</param-name>
<param-value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@dm04-scan:1521/WEBFDEV</param-value>
<param-properties></param-properties>
<display-order>020</display-order>
<category-name>Repository</category-name>
</context-param>
If the service name: dm04-scan does not work, then try using IP address for initial setup and later after repository
is created, revert back to “Server name” instead of IP.
Once URL is corrected, Execute WFReposUtilGUI.bat to create the repository.
Location: C:\ibi\WebFOCUS80\utilities\WFReposUtil\WFReposUtilGUI.bat
Right Click on “WFReposUtilGUI.bat” ; Run as an Administrator

Login using DB credentials
Select CREATE_INSERT option and hit on the “Run”

If the utility fails with errors, USE DROP functionality and then run CREATE-INSERT.
If same error occurs again, then USE UPDATE FEATURE.
Verify if the repository is created from Oracle client.
Note:
* The repository ID should have CREATE OBJECT permissions.

* On CLT01 – We will use CREATE-INSERT; On CLT02 and other client following – Use the “UPDATE” run mode.
Sample repository:
After Installation is complete,
 Open the Services console (services.msc):

 Double click on the WebFOCUS ReportCaster WF81 and go to the Log On tab. Change the Location to
allegistest.com; type in the name “webfocus” and click ‘Check Name’. Pick “webfocus” account to
start/stop WF services
Type in the password twice and click OK. Go to Recovery tab and set the below options.

In General tab, set the service to start “Automatic”
Verify if the Client Administration console is accessible:

http://biwf-dev-clt1:8080/ibi_apps/signin
Credentials: admin/admin
2.3 CLIENT CONFIGURATIONS:

 Edit approot.xml to reflect the location of the approot location on the server (below is for DEV
environment):
o Location: C:\ibi\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<Context docBase="\\nastst\BIAPPDEV\ibi\apps" path="/approot">
</Context>
 Edit ibi_apps.xml for changes needed for the Impersonation filter (below shows DEV, note change in
path for new install highlighted).
 Location: C:\ibi\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\ibi_apps.xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Context docBase="C:\ibi\WebFOCUS81\webapps\webfocus" path="/ibi_apps">
<Resource name="AUTH_DB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@dm04-scan:1521/WEBFDEV" username="WF8REP" password="wf8repdev"
maxActive="20" maxIdle="10" maxWait="-1" />
</Context>
 Copy SITE.WFS
Copy site.wfs file from current environment
C:\ibi\WebFOCUS81\client\wfc\etc
2.4 IMPERSONATION FILTER:
 Copy wfservlet.properties

C:\ibi\WebFOCUS81\webapps\webfocus\WEB-INF\classes
 Copy allegis.jar
C:\ibi\WebFOCUS81\webapps\webfocus\WEB-INF\lib
 EDIT web.xml file
C:\ibi\WebFOCUS81\webapps\webfocus\WEB-INF
<filter>
<filter-name>AuthenticationFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.ibi.custom.filters.AuthenticationFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>AuthenticationFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
 Copy impersonate_login.htm
C:\ibi\WebFOCUS81\webapps\webfocus
 Change ibi/WebFOCUS81/config/securitysettings-zone.xml in filterPreference section:
<property name="anonymousAuthEnabled" value="true"/>

<property name="formAuthEnabled" value="true"/>
<property name="filterChainEnabled" value="true"/>
<property name="filterChainPatternEnabled" value="true"/>
Verify the impersonation page:
