Environment

Novell ZENworks Asset Management 7 - ZAM7
Novell iManager 2.6
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition

Situation

ZENworks Asset Management 7.0 installs Tomcat 5. When you install iManager it finds Tomcat on the Windows box and does not install Tomcat. iManager will not run with this version that is installed with ZAM.

Resolution

The workaround for this is to install iManager 2.6 first then install ZAM. The problem here is that Tomcat will have two instances in Services.  They will both start up.  Apache Tomcat is the 5.0 version.  If this one starts up first then iManager will not work.  Stop both instances of Tomcat then start up Tomcat (Version 4.1) then startup Apache Tomcat (Version 5.0).  Now both of them will work just fine.
