+iView is comprised of two parts:  The **iView front end running on Tomcat Server (version 5.x or above)**, and the **back end running on the IBMi (V6R1 or above)**.
-Apache Tomcat is used to deploy your Java Servlets and JSPs. So in your Java project you can build your WAR (short for Web ARchive) file, and just drop it in the deploy directory in Tomcat. So basically Apache is an HTTP Server, serving HTTP. Tomcat is a Servlet and JSP Server serving Java technologies.
 ==== Front end - Apache Tomcat ====
+==Download iView WAR file==
+The iView front end is typically provided in a war file. Download this file to your home directory in the IFS using **binary** file transfer, and then execute these commands ( populating the names with those used in your installation ). The directory /home/user is meant to refer to your user profile's home directory
 ==Download Tomcat distribution file==
 Download Tomcat 6.x from FTP site at:\\
- [[ftp:// ftp.informdecisions.com/ftpRoot/CustomerFTP/iView/apache-tomcat-6.0.39.zip]]\\
+ [[ftp://ftp.informdecisions.com/iView/apache-tomcat-6.0.39.zip]]\\
-and upload Tomcat distribution file to an IFS directory, for example /home/download. \\
+and upload this file to /home/user directory
-Change your current working directory to /www then decompress Tomcat distribution file using qshell command:
 <html><pre>
+call qp2term
+cd /www
 ajar -x /home/download/apache-tomcat-6.0.39.zip
 </pre></html>
 ==Add environment variable JAVA_HOME at system level==
 Set JAVA_HOME environment variable: go to directory /qibm/ProdData/Java400 and choose a JDK version that you want to set for JAVA_HOME, then type command:

-You should now add the following stanza to the Apache configuration file used by the Zend Server.
-This file is /www/zendsvr6/conf/httpd.conf. You may append this to the file:
-<html><pre>
- &lt;LocationMatch "/iview*"&gt;
- 	        PasswdFile %%SYSTEM%%
- 	        AuthType Basic
- 	        AuthName "i5 User Profile"
- 	        Satisfy All
- 	        Require valid-user
- &lt;/LocationMatch&gt;
- </pre></html>
- These statements establish browser authentication against the IBM i profile. iView will not work without user authentication. You may establish user authentication through any means that Apache will allow.
-At this point, if your machine's IP is 192.168.0.2 you should be able to point your browser at http://192.168.0.2/iview800 and get a response.
 ==== Back end - IBMi ====
 The iView back end is typically provided in a savefile. To install, upload the savefile to the IBM i and restore it with a command like this ( you will need to populate this command with the names you are using on your system ):
