Starting the Application Client Resource Configuration Tool and opening an EAR file

We can perform many tasks by starting the Application Client Resource Configuration Tool (ACRCT). Many of these tasks also involve then opening an EAR file.

Attention: This task only applies to Java EE application clients.

Use these steps to start the Application Client Resource Configuration Tool. When we start the tool, one of the most common tasks that you perform is opening and modifying the components of EAR files.

Tasks

1. Open a command prompt and change to the app_server_root\bin directory.
2. Run the clientConfig.bat file.

   When running the clientConfig.bat file, run the script using the administrator account created when we installed the operating system.sptcfg

3. Open an EAR file within the Application Client Resource Configuration Tool (ACRCT):

   1. Click File > Open.

   2. Select the file then click Open.

4. Save changes to the file and close the tool:

   1. Click File > Save.
