Dev Studio issue with 3 tier env w/ app folder names differ from Web server folders

I have a 3 tier WebFOCUS environment.

I have app folders on the reporting server: c:\ibi\apps\a1, c:\ibi\apps\b1 and c:\ibi\apps\c1.

I have folders on the web server: c:\ibi\apps\a1, c:\ibi\apps\retail\b1 and c:\ibi\apps\commercial\c1.

In Dev Studio I can see the reporting server app folders in the WF Environments > env-name > Data Servers > EDASERVE > Applications tree structure. In the WF Environments > env-name > Web Applications tree structure, I only see folder a1, because it's the only one of the three that has the same name as one on the reporting server - the other two are not available.

What can be done about this, other than renaming the files? Would adding an alias or context in Tomcat solve this?

Thanks,


Francis

I believe that what you are seeing are the physical file folders that exist under the directory specified by the ibi_apps alias on the web tier. Where does that alias point? In my environment (also 3-tier) it points to an ibi/apps folder which contains baseapp,ibinccen, ibisamp, and other of our application folders. (We also have added a WF server on our web tier for SQL server access - thus the wf demo files in the apps directory.)


Regards,

Darin

Darin,

This seems to be behaving properly on two out of three environments, on the third things are not working very well. I think it appears to be a permissions or security problem.

My guess would have been security because I had the same issue when we installed WF on a new server. I'm on UNIX and folders that didn't have EDA as the owner and SQLEDA as the group did not appear in my apps directory in DevStudio.

The problems are with the Web Application folders, which are hosted by a web server on a Windows machine. It seems that only sub-folders within the "approot" alias or context are shown, nothing else is available, even if there are contexts for them.
