How to configure second Tomcat instance for one SBOP Platform?

[suszko_kamil]

Hi,
I need to install second tomcat instance for SBOP System.
I need this because we want to implement SAML 2.0 for Enterprise method auth and it need to be run on separate (second) Tomcat instance.
We use also Windows AD auth. method.

How to do it? We have SBOP 4.2 SP5.

Regards

Could you please clarify what exact help with new tomcat instance you need and if it is going to be installed on the same machine as original or separate ?

Basic tomcat installation instructions can be found here :

https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/index.html

How to deploy BOE webapps on it is described in Webapplications deployment guide, which can be found on

https://help.sap.com/viewer/product/SAP_BUSINESSOBJECTS_BUSINESS_INTELLIGENCE_PLATFORM/


Or , if you're installing on separate sever, you can use normal BOE install package and simply only install Web tier.

Hi,

I will have 2 Tomcat instances on the same machine (2 Tomcat for 1 SBOP).

it is not a good idea for the failover reasons and you need to ensure that you have enough resources on that machine to handle both tomcats.
But if that how you want it - you'll need to download tomcat install source files from tomcat and install it manually in addition to tomcat BOE provides.

You can use tomcat documentation here :

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/

to help you set It up and Web Applications Deployment guide from help.sap.com for instructions on how to deploy SAP Webapps to it.
