Install the bundled PolicyCenter QuickStart application server

Procedure

  1. Create an installation directory for PolicyCenter on the host system.

    Do not use spaces in the installation directory path. Studio does not run from a directory with a space in its name.

  2. Extract the contents of the PolicyCenter Zip file into the installation directory.

    Using a third-party tool such as 7-Zip may perform better than using the built-in Windows decompression utility.

  3. Open a command prompt to the PolicyCenter installation directory.
  4. (Optional) Run the following command:
    • gwb dropDb

    You need to run this command only if you are reinstalling PolicyCenter and using a QuickStart database.

  5. From the same command prompt, run the following command:
    • gwb compile

    This command copies module resources and JavaScript files to the bundled QuickStart server.

  6. (Optional) Configure the location in which PolicyCenter stores the QuickStart database files.
  7. Navigate to the root of the PolicyCenter installation directory and open a command prompt.
  8. Run the following command:
    • gwb runServer
    This command starts the PolicyCenter application. After the server starts, you see the following statement in the command window:
    *****PolicyCenter ready*****
  9. Open a browser and navigate to the following URL:
    • http://localhost:8180/pc
  10. Log into PolicyCenter as the default unrestricted user, using the following default credentials:
    • Username - su
    • Password - gw
