Products

• Output Management Web Viewer

Issue/Introduction

We replaced Apache Tomcat 8 with 9.0.31. What is the safe way to delete Apache Tomcat 8?

Environment

Release : 12.1

Component : CA OUTPUT MANAGEMENT WEB VIEWER FOR ALL PLATFORMS

Apache Tomcat

Microsoft Windows

Resolution

If you are up and running with the new Tomcat with no problems, you can 

1. Remove the Apache Tomcat 8.5 service by going into the command prompt as administrator and changing into the 
   
   .........\apache-tomcat-8.5.4\bin folder and typing

   service.bat remove

2. Then you can delete the apache-tomcat-8.5.4 folder

If removing another older version, substitute your Tomcat version for the 8.5.4 version in the example above.

Additional Information

You can leave the old Tomcat there, if you prefer.
