Installation Instructions

-------------------------

The SysAid package is available as a Web ARchive file (.WAR file) and should be deployed to an
existing Tomcat web application server.

A. Option with Embedded Database (Derby)

If you want to work with an embedded database (Derby), please follow the instructions below:

1. Install SUN JAVA JRE 1.6 or a later version. Java is available at http://java.sun.com/

2. Install Tomcat 6.0.26. Tomcat is available at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/

3. Deploy the sysaid.war file to the tomcat server. Usually you will just need to copy it to the
webapps directory, and Tomcat will automatically deploy it.

A sysaid directory tree will be created in the deployed location (default is

tomcat/webapps/sysaid).

SysAid will start to work with the derby database.

4. If you have a license file for the full version please replace it now at
tomcat/webapps/sysaid/WEB-INF/conf/activation.xml and restart the Tomcat server.

5. Access SysAid at http://<host>:<port>/sysaid. The main login will be sysaid/changeit .

B. Option with MySQL database:

1. Install SUN JAVA JRE 1.6 or a later version. Java is available at http://java.sun.com/

2. Install Tomcat 6.0.26. Tomcat is available at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/

4. Create an empty database in the MySQL server.

5. Deploy the sysaid.war file to the tomcat server. Usually you will just need to copy it to the
