  • Deploys the core WAR file, which contains the core REST services needed for reporting

  • Deploys the RPTDOC WAR file, which contains the documentation of REST services needed for reporting

  • Installs, updates, or positions the JDBC driver that connects to the reporting database

  • Configures the authentication services for Identity Reporting
