Chapter 7. Downloading and installing the headless Decision Manager controller

Procedure

1. Unzip the rhdm-7.5.1-add-ons.zip file. The rhdm-7.5-controller-jws.zip file is in the unzipped directory.
2. Extract the rhdm-7.5-controller-jws.zip archive to a temporary directory. In the following examples this directory is called TEMP_DIR.

3. Copy the TEMP_DIR/rhdm-7.5-controller-jws.zip/controller.war directory to the JWS_HOME/tomcat/webapps directory.

   Note

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

4. Remove the .war extensions from the controller.war folder.
5. Copy the contents of the TEMP_DIR/rhdm-7.5-controller-jws/SecurityPolicy/ directory to JWS_HOME/bin
6. When asked to overwrite files, select Yes.

7. Add the kie-server role and user to the JWS_HOME/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml file. In the following example, <USER_NAME> and <PASSWORD> are the user name and password of your choice:

   <role rolename="kie-server"/>
   <user username="<USER_NAME>" password="<PASSWORD>" roles="kie-server"/>

8. Complete one of the following tasks in the JWS_HOME/tomcat/bin directory of the instance running Decision Server:

   • On Linux or UNIX, create the setenv.sh file with the following content:

     CATALINA_OPTS="-Xmx1024m
      -Dorg.jboss.logging.provider=jdk
      -Dorg.jbpm.server.ext.disabled=true
      -Dorg.jbpm.ui.server.ext.disabled=true
      -Dorg.jbpm.case.server.ext.disabled=true
      -Dorg.kie.server.controller.user=<CONTROLLER_USER>
      -Dorg.kie.server.controller.pwd=<CONTROLLER_PWD>
      -Dorg.kie.server.id=<KIE_SERVER_ID>
      -Dorg.kie.server.location=http://<HOST>:<PORT>/kie-server/services/rest/server
      -Dorg.kie.server.controller=http://<HOST>:<PORT>/controller/rest/controller"

     Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   • On Windows, add the following content to the setenv.bat file:

     set CATALINA_OPTS= -Xmx1024m
      -Dorg.jbpm.server.ext.disabled=true
      -Dorg.jbpm.ui.server.ext.disabled=true
      -Dorg.jbpm.case.server.ext.disabled=true
      -Dorg.kie.server.controller.user=<CONTROLLER_USER>
      -Dorg.kie.server.controller.pwd=<CONTROLLER_PWD>
      -Dorg.kie.server.id=<KIE_SERVER_ID>
      -Dorg.kie.server.location=http://<HOST>:<PORT>/kie-server/services/rest/server
      -Dorg.kie.server.controller=http://<CONTROLLER_HOST>:<CONTROLLER_PORT>/controller/rest/controller

     Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

     In the preceding examples, replace the following variables:

   • Replace <CONTROLLER_USER> and <CONTROLLER_PWD> with the user name and password for the kie-server role that you defined earlier in this procedure.
   • Replace <KIE_SERVER_ID> with a unique identifier.
   • Replace <CONTROLLER_HOST>:<CONTROLLER_PORT> with the IP address (host and port) of the controller. If you use the same server for Decision Server and the controller, <CONTROLLER_HOST>:<CONTROLLER_PORT> is localhost:8080.

9. In the JWS_HOME/tomcat/bin directory of the instance running the headless Decision Manager controller, create a readable setenv.sh file with the following content, where <USERNAME> is the Decision Server user and <USER_PWD> is the password for that user:

   CATALINA_OPTS="-Dorg.kie.server.user=<USERNAME> -Dorg.kie.server.pwd=<USER_PWD>"

10. To start the headless Decision Manager controller, enter one of the following commands in the JWS_HOME/tomcat/bin directory:

    • On Linux or UNIX-based systems:

      $ ./startup.sh

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    • On Windows:

      startup.bat

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
11. After a few minutes, review the JWS_HOME/tomcat/logs directory and correct any errors.
12. To verify that the headless Decision Manager controller is working correctly, enter http://<CONTROLLER_HOST>:<CONTROLLER_PORT>/controller/rest/controller/management/servers in a web browser. If you use the same server for Decision Server and the controller, <CONTROLLER_HOST>:<CONTROLLER_PORT> is localhost:8080.
13. Enter the user name and password stored in the tomcat-users.xml file.
