• Once you are logged in, you will need to change the port in the web address from 4080 to 4081.

This will bring you the interfaces server web page.  You will see a list of webapps that have been deployed from your interfaces server.  It should be similar to the following.

• If using a Window's server you will navigate to the SpillmanServer\app\interfaces-server\install directory

You will see a list of files in this directory that have a .war file extension.

These are all files that can be deployed.

To undeploy a webapp/war file you will simply click "Undeploy"

To deploy a webapp/war file you will put the name of the war file in the "Path to WAR file" field after the /sds/app/interfaces-server/install/

Make sure you deploy the war file on the correct tomcat. If you are unsure of which tomcat a war file should be deployed on call technical services
 

• You will then click "Deploy from WAR file on server"

The webapp/war file should appear in the webapp list.

If you would like to restart or reload a webapp due to connectivity issues, troubleshooting interface problems, etc..., you will simply click "Reload."  You can also click on "Stop", wait for the webapp to stop completely, and then click "Start."
 

• Many times when the functionality of a webapp is experiencing issues, a simple restart of the webapp will resolve the problem.
