Installation


CData API Server is built on top of an application framework that provides web services, authentication, encryption, and automation facilities. API Server comes bundled with a web server, built on top of Eclipse Jetty, to support simple cross-platform deployment. This stand-alone web server is launched by running the apiserver.jar file, which is in the installation directory (InstallationDirectory).

After you install API Server to a location of your choice, you can either run the application as a Microsoft Windows service or you can run it manually. CData recommends using a service if you use API Server for critical applications.

Refer to one of the following sections for specific installation instructions:
