How to Configure Tomcat with Crystal Reports 2008 Server V1 SP3 after it's already been installed?

994 Views Asked by At

Background

I inherited a bunch of systems that were implemented using less-than-best practices and now I'm trying to get them to play nicely together.

Components

  • SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Server / Crystal Reports 2008 Server (as far as I can tell, these are the same thing with different names due to company takeovers)
  • IBM Maximo 7 with an integration tool for BOE XI / CR 2008 Server

Goal

  • I'd like to integrate BOE XI / Crystal Reports with Maximo, which there are components available to do.

Problem

  • The IBM toolkit requires configuring Crystal Reports 2008 for Tomcat server, which it presumes was installed alongside CR2008/BOE XI.
  • The Tomcat portion of the web server was not installed.
  • CR2008 / BOE XI is very...finnicky...software in my opinion, and I'm not sure if it will work after the fact.
  • We only have one server. The live, production server. (working on changing this, but I'm new here and it is what it is for now.)

Question(s)

  • Does the CR 2008 installer allow you to configure Tomcat -- and only Tomcat -- as a component of the installer? I don't want to mess anything additional up
  • Is there a manual way to get the files to configure tomcat without the installer? I've configured tomcat before so that would put me ahead of the game.
