Adobe LiveCycle Before You Install
Installing and Configuring LiveCycle for JBoss Methods for installing, configuring, and deploying LiveCycle products 12
Methods for installing, configuring, and deploying
LiveCycle products
You can use one of the following methods for installing, configuring, and deploying LiveCycle products as
well as initializing the database:
Turnkey: (Windows/JBoss/MySQL) The turnkey method lets you install the files, and then run
Configuration Manager to configure the EAR file and other components and automatically performs
the following tasks:
● Install and configure the JBoss Application Server and MySQL database.
● Assemble and deploy the products to JBoss.
● Initialize the MySQL database.
The turnkey method does not configure SSL. (See “Turnkey installation and deployment checklist” on
page 16 or “Installing LiveCycle Products Using the Turnkey Installation” on page 20.)
Manual: The manual method lets you install the files, and then run Configuration Manager to
configure the application server, the EAR file and other components, and deploy the EAR file. You can
also choose to configure your application server and deploy your EAR file manually. However, you must
manually install and, once configured, start your application server as well as create and configure the
database before running Configuration Manager and deploying to the application server. You must
also run Configuration Manager a second time (after deployment) to initialize the database. (See
“Manual installation and deployment checklist” on page 17
.)
Installing and deploying multiple LiveCycle products
To deploy more than one of the LiveCycle products discussed in this guide so that they interoperate, you
need to install the products in the same location, assemble them in a single EAR file, and then deploy the
EAR file.
Note: To install multiple products in the LiveCycle 7.2 product suite, install in the following order:
● LiveCycle PDF Generator
● LiveCycle Assembler, LiveCycle Forms, LiveCycle Form Manager, LiveCycle Print,
LiveCycle Workflow
● LiveCycle Document Security, LiveCycle Policy Server, LiveCycle Reader Extensions
