The Data Foundation server uses Java servlets deployed to an Apache Tomcat web server and servlet container. Installation involves deploying the edg.WAR (Web Application Archive) file in the application server. Customers receive a link and login/password for the website to download the WAR file for installation. The installation files consist of the Data Foundation server WAR file (edg.war) and an edg-setup.properties configuration file.

Installation of the Data Foundation server differs slightly for different operating systems. Detailed instructions for Tomcat, Linux and Windows are provided in the sections below. In general, installation consists of:

  1. Deploying the edg.WAR file in the application server. For Tomcat, this involves copying the edg.war file to the Tomcat webapps directory, or using Tomcat Manager to deploy edg.war.

  2. Setting configurations through the setup file (edg-setup.properties)
