Chapter 14. Installing Red Hat Decision Manager from ZIP files

Procedure

1. Extract the rhdm-7.11.0-decision-central-eap7-deployable.zip file to a temporary directory. In the following examples this directory is called TEMP_DIR.

2. Copy the contents of the TEMP_DIR/rhdm-7.11.0-decision-central-eap7-deployable/jboss-eap-7.3 directory to EAP_HOME. When prompted, merge or replace files.

   Warning

   Ensure that the names of the Red Hat Decision Manager deployments that you copy do not conflict with your existing deployments in the Red Hat JBoss EAP instance.

Procedure

1. Extract the rhdm-7.11.0-kie-server-ee8.zip archive to a temporary directory. In the following examples this directory is called TEMP_DIR.

2. Copy the TEMP_DIR/rhdm-7.11.0-kie-server-ee8/kie-server.war directory to EAP_HOME/standalone/deployments/.

   Warning

   Ensure the names of the Red Hat Decision Manager deployments you copy do not conflict with your existing deployments in the Red Hat JBoss EAP instance.

3. Copy the contents of the TEMP_DIR/rhdm-7.11.0-kie-server-ee8/rhdm-7.11.0-kie-server-ee8/SecurityPolicy/ to EAP_HOME/bin.
4. When prompted to overwrite files, click Replace.
5. In the EAP_HOME/standalone/deployments/ directory, create an empty file named kie-server.war.dodeploy. This file ensures that KIE Server is automatically deployed when the server starts.

Procedure

1. In a terminal application, navigate to the EAP_HOME/bin directory.

2. Create a user with the admin, rest-all, and kie-server roles.

   Note

   Users with the admin role are Business Central administrators. Users with rest-all role can access Business Central REST capabilities. Users with the kie-server role can access KIE Server (KIE Server) REST capabilities.

   In the following command, replace <USERNAME> and <PASSWORD> with the user name and password of your choice:

   $ ./add-user.sh -a --user <USERNAME>  --password <PASSWORD> --role admin,rest-all,kie-server

   Note

   Make sure that the specified user name is not the same as an existing user, role, or group. For example, do not create a user with the user name admin.

   The password must have at least eight characters and must contain at least one number and one non-alphanumeric character, but not & (ampersand).

3. Create a user with the kie-server role that you will use to log in to KIE Server.

   $ ./add-user.sh -a --user <USERNAME>  --password <PASSWORD> --role kie-server

4. Make a note of your user names and passwords.

   Note

   If you installed Business Central and KIE Server in the same server instance, you can create a single user that has both of these roles:

   $ ./add-user.sh -a --user <USERNAME>  --password <PASSWORD> --role admin,rest-all,kie-server

   You should install Business Central and KIE Server on different servers in production environments.

Procedure

1. In your Red Hat Decision Manager installation directory, navigate to the standalone-full.xml file. For example, if you use a Red Hat JBoss EAP installation for Red Hat Decision Manager, go to $EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml.

2. Open the standalone-full.xml file and under the <system-properties> tag, set the following JVM properties:

   Table 14.1. JVM Properties for the managed KIE Server instance

   Property	Value	Note
   org.kie.server.id	default-kie-server	The KIE Server ID.
   org.kie.server.controller	http://localhost:8080/decision-central/rest/controller	The location of Business Central. The URL for connecting to the API of Business Central.
   org.kie.server.controller.user	controllerUser	The user name with the role rest-all who can log in to the Business Central.
   org.kie.server.controller.pwd	controllerUser1234;	The password of the user who can log in to the Business Central.
   org.kie.server.location	http://localhost:8080/kie-server/services/rest/server	The location of the KIE Server. The URL for connecting to the API of KIE Server.

   Table 14.2. JVM Properties for the Business Central instance

   Property	Value	Note
   org.kie.server.user	controllerUser	The user name with the role kie-server.
   org.kie.server.pwd	controllerUser1234;	The password of the user.

   The following example shows how to configure a KIE Server instance:

   <property name="org.kie.server.id" value="default-kie-server"/>
   <property name="org.kie.server.controller" value="http://localhost:8080/decision-central/rest/controller"/>
   <property name="org.kie.server.controller.user" value="controllerUser"/>
   <property name="org.kie.server.controller.pwd" value="controllerUser1234;"/>
   <property name="org.kie.server.location" value="http://localhost:8080/kie-server/services/rest/server"/>

   The following example shows how to configure a for Business Central instance:

   <property name="org.kie.server.user" value="controllerUser"/>
   <property name="org.kie.server.pwd" value="controllerUser1234;"/>

3. To verify that KIE Server starts successfully, send a GET request to http://SERVER:PORT/kie-server/services/rest/server/ when KIE Server is running. For more information about running Red Hat Decision Manager on KIE Server, see Running Red Hat Decision Manager.

   After successful authentication, you receive an XML response similar to the following example:

   <response type="SUCCESS" msg="Kie Server info">
       <kie-server-info>
           <capabilities>KieServer</capabilities>
           <capabilities>BRM</capabilities>
           <capabilities>BPM</capabilities>
           <capabilities>CaseMgmt</capabilities>
           <capabilities>BPM-UI</capabilities>
           <capabilities>BRP</capabilities>
           <capabilities>DMN</capabilities>
           <capabilities>Swagger</capabilities>
           <location>http://localhost:8230/kie-server/services/rest/server</location>
           <messages>
               <content>Server KieServerInfo{serverId='first-kie-server', version='7.5.1.Final-redhat-1', location='http://localhost:8230/kie-server/services/rest/server', capabilities=[KieServer, BRM, BPM, CaseMgmt, BPM-UI, BRP, DMN, Swagger]}started successfully at Mon Feb 05 15:44:35 AEST 2018</content>
               <severity>INFO</severity>

       </kie-server-info>
   </response>

4. Verify successful registration:

   1. Log in to Business Central.

   2. Click Menu Deploy Execution Servers.

      If registration is successful, you will see the registered server ID.
