If you install Tomcat 6 before installing AR System, then you can choose not to install anything as part of the AR System installation. That way, you'll only have Tomcat 6 on the system from the beginning. Both Atrium Core (CMDB) and AR System 7.5.00 support Tomcat 6.
It was done this way because AR System 7.5.00 still supports Tomcat 5.5 - so the earliest supported version of Tomcat was included as the JSP engine for IIS users. Atrium Core 7.5.00 has a minimum version of Tomcat 6 and does not support Tomcat 5.5. Note that AR System does not require Tomcat specifically as a JSP engine. You may choose to use another supported JSP engine (e.g. ServletExec) if you wish. Or, if using a web or application server other than IIS, you may use the JSP engine that comes with the web/app server (e.g. JBoss, WebLogic, WebSphere, etc.) as long as they're listed in the Compatibility Matrix. Tomcat was included purely as a convenience to IIS users - who otherwise would have to go find a JSP engine - and is not intended to convey a preference or requirement for AR System. -David J.

Tomcat 5.x is used by everything except Web Services and I think AIE, which require Tomcat 6. BMC recommends that the Tomcat 6 components be on another server, for that reason at least. Uninstalling the CMDB does not work with the Uninstaller or the Add/Remove programs. The only way I have found that worked was that there is a cleanup executable buried deep in the install directory (sorry, can't remember the particulars). It does work. I have heard that the fix for that will be in patch 3. Also, do NOT trust the HTML logs as official judges of whether an installation works. They are no longer reliable in that regard in 7.5, especially with Approval and Assignment.

When I install ARS 7.5 it installs Tomcat 5.x When I install CMDB it installs Tomcat 6.x I don't seem to have any choice in the matter, and I would prefer to use just one version, different ports. When I installed Tomcat 6 manually, neither ARS or CMDB will recognize it. Uninstalling 7.5 is just so much fun, as I discovered. NOT! Nothing like having to go into the registry to remove stuff, no uninstall and/or it doesn't uninstall everything. I must have missed something, don't understand something, or it has not clicked why this makes sense that they do it this way.
