Cisco Cisco Prime Service Catalog 10.0 Technical References

The Service Catalog installation wizard builds the WARs and:

Expands the core product WAR

Modifies .properties files based on settings chosen during installation

Merges in a customizations file, if one is specified as part of the installation parameters

Rejars the WAR 

Publishes the WAR to the dist/folder for deployment

The deployment procedure stipulates that an entire WAR file be deployed to a server. When an entire 
WAR file is deployed, the previous directory where the WAR was expanded is wiped clean, and any 
Service Catalog customizations that existed in the directory are lost. 

To avoid losing the customizations, the Service Catalog installation wizard allows you to specify custom 
content to be included in the installation:

Create an archive containing the custom content in the Zip format. The archive directory structure must 
match the deployment directory structure.

Run the Service Catalog installation wizard as described in the Cisco Prime Service Catalog Installation 
Guide, using the Advanced Installation type.

On the Application Server Configuration page, click Advanced Options.

The Advanced Options dialog box appears, as shown below.

Check Custom content? as shown above.

Enter the full path to the Custom content archive including the name of the archive, or click Browse to 
locate and choose the custom content archive.

Click Close.

Continue with the installation as described in the Cisco Prime Service Catalog Installation Guide.
