Installing Adobe Experience Manager Forms Software
There are two methods provided for installing and configuring the Adobe software, and deploying the product to an application server; Turnkey and Manual.
The Turnkey method will work if you are using a Windows operating system with a JBoss server.
Follow the installation instructions found in the Adobe documentation titled, Adobe Installing and Configuring Experience Manager Forms. It is recommended that you read through the installation and deployment checklists as well as the Before You Install section prior to beginning the installation process.
Using the Turnkey Installation Method
The turnkey method is recommended for installing, configuring, and deploying the Experience Manager Forms with a Windows operating system and a JBoss server. This method installs the files and then runs the Configuration Manager to configure the EAR file for deployment to the application server. This method also installs and configures a JBoss application server.
During the installation process you can skip the following steps:
It is not necessary to install the MySQL database. However, it will not interfere with the Windchill solution if it is installed.
When given the option, do not include the User Management and Administrator tools component.
Using the Manual Installation Method
Use the manual method to install the Adobe software if you already have a JBoss Application Server installed and configured, or if you are deploying to WebSphere.
It is not necessary to include the User Management and Administrator tools component.
Deploying the Adobe Software to an Application Server
Follow the deployment procedure for the type of installation method you are using, found in the Adobe guide, Installing and Configuring Experience Manager Forms.
