2.2. Installing the Standalone Package

Procedure 2.1. Installing the Standalone Package

1. Download the standalone package zip file from the Red Hat Customer Support Portal at https://access.redhat.com. Select Downloads Download your software BRMS Platform, then select the version. The current version is 5.3.0, these instructions use the package names for 5.3.0 but also apply to earlier versions except where noted.
2. Extract the contents of the standalone zip archive to install the server. This creates the brms-standalone-5.3.0 directory which includes an installation of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform with JBoss Enterprise BRMS Platform deployed.

   Note

   JBoss Enterprise BRMS Platform 5.3.0 is deployed to either the default or production profiles. This guide uses the default profile.
3. Enable Users. The default configuration uses the BRMS JAAS application profile. This profile stores user names and passwords in the brms-standalone-5.3.0/jboss-as/server/default/conf/props/brms-users.properties file.
   Users are added by adding entries to this file in the format username=password. Entries can be commented out by adding a hash character (#) to the beginning of the line.

   #admin=password
   jsmith=s@r@hSm1th
   tandrews=pp3rrss0nn3ll

   Refer to the BRMS Administration Guide for information about changing the JAAS profile to one that supports a different authentication system, such as LDAP.
4. The default configurations use embedded databases that are not suitable or supported for production environments. Before deploying into a production environment this configuration must be changed to a supported database. Please refer to the BRMS Administration Guide for database configuration instructions.
5. Start the server from the command line with the run.sh command on a UNIX or Linux system, or run.bat on a Microsoft Windows system.

   [localhost ]$ ./run.sh -c default

   The run.sh and run.bat scripts are located in the bin directory.
   For example, the full path to the bin directory for the BRMS 5.3.0 standalone server is brms-standalone-5.3.0/jboss-as/bin/.
   After successfully starting a message is displayed on the command line reporting how long it took the server to start.
