Chapter 38. Configuring and running standalone Business Central

Procedure

1. Extract the downloaded rhdm-7.11.0-addons.zip to a temporary directory. This archive includes the rhdm-7.11.0-standalone-sample-configuration.zip file.

2. Extract the rhdm-7.11.0-standalone-sample-configuration.zip file to the directory that contains the rhdm-7.11.0-decision-central-standalone.jar file. The rhdm-7.11.0-standalone-sample-configuration.zip file contains the following sample configuration files:

   • application-roles.properties
   • application-users.properties

   • sample-standalone-config.yml

     You can run the rhdm-7.11.0-decision-central-standalone.jar files with the sample data provided in the configuration files or you can customize the data for your requirements.

3. To customize the configuration data, complete the following steps:

   1. Edit the application-users.properties file. Include an administrative user and if this Business Central instance will be a Decision Manager controller for KIE Server, include a Decision Manager controller user, for example:

      rhdmAdmin=password1

   2. Edit the application-roles.properties file to assign roles to the users that you included in the application-users.properties file, for example:

      rhdmAdmin=admin
      controllerUser=kie-server

      For more information, see Section 31.2, “Red Hat Decision Manager roles and users”.

   3. Review the contents of the sample-standalone-config.yml configuration file and update as required.

4. To run the Business Central standalone JAR file, enter the following command:

   java -jar rhdm-7.11.0-decision-central-standalone.jar -s sample-standalone-config.yml

5. To set application properties when you run the JAR file, include the -D<PROPERTY>=<VALUE> parameter in the command, where <PROPERTY> is the name of a supported application property and <VALUE> is the property value:

   java -jar rhdm-7.11.0-decision-central-standalone.jar -s sample-standalone-config.yml -D<PROPERTY>=<VALUE> -D<PROPERTY>=<VALUE>

   For example, to run Business Central and connect to KIE Server as the user controllerUser, enter:

   java -jar rhdm-7.11.0-decision-central-standalone.jar \
   -s sample-standalone-config.yml \
   -Dorg.kie.server.user=controllerUser
   -Dorg.kie.server.pwd=controllerUser1234

   Doing this enables you to deploy containers to KIE Server. See Appendix A, Business Central system properties for more information.
