Installation prerequisites

To install the Web Application Platform with plugins, you need to:

  • Have a working instance of Teamwork Cloud.
  • Make sure that the FlexNet license server is installed beforehand because Cameo Collaborator for Teamwork Cloud uses a floating license. You will need to specify license server details when installing Web Application Platform.
  • Download the Web_App_Platform_<version number>_unix.sh file.


Installation for production use

Read before starting!

  • Web Application Platform and Teamwork Cloud should be installed on different machines.
  • Before installing Web Application Platform, make sure you know Teamwork Cloud, Authentication server and FLEXnet server data, such as the host name (or IP address) and port. You will need to enter this data during installation.
  • After installing Web Application Platform, it is recommended to disable the web container (e.g., Apache Tomcat) on the machine where Teamwork Cloud is installed.


To install the Web Application Platform for production use

Web Application Platform is now installed with the selected plugins and started if you choose this option in step 17.

To access Web Application Platform, open a web browser and go to http(s)://<domain_name>:<port>/webapp/resources. By default, the Web Application Platform uses the port 8443.


Installation for testing purposes

If you want to install the Web Application Platform for testing purposes only, you have to install it on the same machine where Teamwork Cloud and Authentication servers are installed. You can do it in two different ways:

  • Integrate the Cameo Collaborator plugin to Web Application Platform that was installed together with Teamwork Cloud. Learn how to manually integrate plugins to Web Application Platform. Note that you need to integrate the Cameo Collaborator plugin only. Resources and TWCloud Admin plugins are installed together with Teamwork Cloud.
  • Run the Web_App_Platform_<version number>_unix.sh file and choose the Quick Install option.


This section explains how to install the Web Application Platform using the executive file (the second option described above). It installs the platform using default property values. You can change these values later if needed.
