Setup of AEM Application Server
AEM package comes in two flavours,
- cq-quickstart-6.2.0.jar - executable to run as a Java process.
- cq-quickstart-6.2.0.war - install in a container like Tomcat
Enable license by entering at startup or in license.properties file (preferred to automoation).
By default the package starts up running both the author and publish components as one service. Enterprise configurations will want to segregate and this occurs with a file rename,
cq-<instance-type>-p<port-number>.jar
Modify temporary directory,
CQ_JVM_OPTS # may modify in serverctl or start script
Author Server
Rename file,
mv cq-quickstart-6.2.0.jar cq-author-p4502.jar
This will result in an author instance running on port 4502.
Publish Server
Rename file,
mv cq-quickstart-6.2.0.jar cq-publish-p4502.jar
This will result in an publish instance running on port 4502.
