Standalone Engineering Dashboard deployment on Documentation - V2

Standalone Engineering Dashboard deployment using JAR file

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Info

Summary: This section describes how to install and configure the Engineering Dashboard ≥ 2.5 in JAR file format (i.e. no web application server required).

Introduction

What is the JAR file format?

From release 2.5 onwards, CAST will deliver an executable JAR file for each CAST Dashboard, alongside the traditional WAR file that has always been delivered. The executable JAR file is an alternative method of deploying the CAST Dashboards based on Spring Boot and does not require a web application server (the application server is embedded in the JAR itself). In addition, the JAR file contains an interactive installer which will guide you through some of the deployment requirements. The aim of the JAR file releases is to simplify and speed up the deployment of the CAST Dashboards. The deployment and configuration of the Spring Boot based dashboards differs slightly to the steps required for traditional WAR files (see Standalone Engineering Dashboard deployment using WAR file).

Summary: This section describes how to install and configure the Engineering Dashboard 2.0 - 2.4 in ZIP file format (i.e. no web application server required).

Introduction

What is the ZIP file format?

From release 2.0 onwards, CAST will deliver a ZIP file for each CAST Dashboard, alongside the traditional WAR file that has always been delivered. The ZIP file is a new method of deploying the CAST Dashboards based on Spring Boot and does not require a web application server (the application server is embedded in the ZIP itself). The aim of the ZIP file releases is to simplify and speed up the deployment of the CAST Dashboards. The deployment and configuration of the Spring Boot based dashboards differs slightly to the steps required for traditional WAR files (see Standalone Engineering Dashboard deployment using WAR file).
