The REST services and the web client are deployed as a web application to an Apache Tomcat installation. Some native libraries are installed to a directory outside of Tomcat’s directory structure. That directory is also used as the data directory for local files.
To configure the target directories, complete the following steps.
- In the Installation Directories dialog box, enter the details, as required. For more information on specific fields, refer to the following table.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Directory | Enter the name of the directory for native libraries and local data. |
| Tomcat Directory |
Enter the name of the directory where Tomcat is installed. Note: Setup tries to resolve this directory automatically and set the correct value as the default value. |
| Name of Web Application | Enter the name of the web application that is deployed. This name becomes part of the URL. |
| Tomcat URL |
Enter the base URL of your Tomcat installation. Note: The full URL of the web application is the Tomcat base URL and the name of the web application (for example: http://<servername>:8080/ALM). This URL is case-sensitive. |
- Click > to proceed.

If there is an existing installation, you are prompted if the existing files
