1. Introduction

1.1. Document Introduction

This document is the Lufthansa specific installation and configuration guide that will be used going
forward when provisioning new environments for the Smile project. Please note that this is a generic
guide for the cluster installation of the Informatica MDM Hub, Process servers and ActiveVOS. This
guide assumes that the database installation tasks detailed in LUF-MDM-001 Informatica MDM
Database Installation and Configuration Guide have already been completed.

The intended audience for this guide is the operations team who will be responsible for running the
instructions detailed in this document.

This document should be updated as the installation process is updated and refined over time.

9. Edit the socket-binding-group section, amend the port numbers to


the values highlighted in bold below or select appropriate port numbers
depending on how the firewall has been configured.
<server xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:1.7">
...
<socket-binding-group name="standard-sockets" default-
interface="public" port-offset="${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:0}">
<socket-binding name="management-native" interface="management"
port="${jboss.management.native.port:8016}"/>
<socket-binding name="management-http" interface="management"
port="${jboss.management.http.port:8009}"/>
<socket-binding name="management-https" interface="management"
port="${jboss.management.https.port:8015}"/>
<socket-binding name="ajp" port="8010"/>
<socket-binding name="http" port="8011"/>
<socket-binding name="https" port="8443"/>
<socket-binding name="jacorb" interface="unsecure" port="3528"/>
<socket-binding name="jacorb-ssl" interface="unsecure"
port="3529"/>
<socket-binding name="jgroups-mping" port="0" multicast-

port="45700"/>
<socket-binding name="jgroups-tcp" port="7600"/>
<socket-binding name="jgroups-tcp-fd" port="57600"/>
<socket-binding name="jgroups-udp" port="55200" multicast-
address="${jboss.default.multicast.address:230.0.0.4}" multicast-
port="45688"/>
<socket-binding name="jgroups-udp-fd" port="54200"/>
<socket-binding name="messaging" port="5445"/>
<socket-binding name="messaging-group" port="0" multicast-
address="${jboss.messaging.group.address:231.7.7.7}" multicast-
port="${jboss.messaging.group.port:9876}"/>
<socket-binding name="messaging-throughput" port="5455"/>
<socket-binding name="modcluster" port="0" multicast-
address="224.0.1.105" multicast-port="23364"/>
<socket-binding name="remoting" port="8018"/>
<socket-binding name="txn-recovery-environment" port="8019"/>
<socket-binding name="txn-status-manager" port="8020"/>
<outbound-socket-binding name="mail-smtp">
<remote-destination host="localhost" port="25"/>
</outbound-socket-binding>
</socket-binding-group>
...
</server>

It is important the various ports highlighted above are opened in the firewall
as needed. It is assumed here that there are no firewalls restricting access to
the systems that form the application server cluster.

Also note that the various http ports are using the management interface
which by default is restricted to the localhost ip address only. To access the
JBoss console you will need to modify the interface to provide unrestricted
access. (what modifications ? figure out)

11 Appendix

11.1 Appendix A Starting and Stopping JBoss

The following tasks are required to start and stop JBoss in standalone mode

No. Installation Instruction Step

1. Log in to the application server using the cup user

2. Execute the following command to start the server


./standalone.sh -c standalone-full-ha.xml -b 0.0.0.0 -u 230.0.0.4 -
Djboss.server.base.dir=/home/cup/jboss-eap-6.4/standalone -Djboss.node.name=Member1

The following values need to be substituted

-c The server configuration file to be used


-b The binding address which is the network address of the machine
-u Multicast address for Cluster communication

-Djboss.server.base.dir is for the path from where node is present


-Djboss.node.name is for the name of the node
-Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset is for the port offset on which node would be
running

We only use the socket port offset value if we are starting multiple nodes on the same
machine.

To start the server and enable it to run in the background you can use the following
command

nohup ./standalone.sh -c standalone-full-ha.xml -b 0.0.0.0 -u 230.0.0.4 -


Djboss.node.name=Member1 -Djboss.server.base.dir=/home/cup/jboss-eap-6.4/standalone
</dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &

when running the MDM installation process it would be better to start JBoss so that it does
not run as a background process. This makes it easier to spot errors. In this case you can
start JBoss using the following command

./standalone.sh -c standalone-full-ha.xml -b 0.0.0.0 -u 230.0.0.4 -


Djboss.node.name=Member1 -Djboss.server.base.dir=/home/cup/jboss-eap-6.4/standalone

3. Execute the following command to stop the server


./jboss-cli.sh --connect controller=127.0.0.1:8016 command=:shutdown

We use the controller setting if the server is configured to use non standard ports

LUF-MDM-002 Informatica MDM Hub Installation and Configuration Guide

11.2 Appendix B Configure and Check the Environmental variables

The following tasks are required to set the appropriate environmental variables for the application
server

No. Installation Instruction Step

1. Log in to the application server using the cup user

2. Edit the .bash_profile and ensure that the following variables are configured
appropriately

See an example below


export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0_80-lin-x64_JCE
export JRE_HOME=$JAVA_HOME
export JBOSS_HOME=/home/cup/jboss-eap-6.4
export ORACLE_HOME=/ora_u01/app/oraclnt/product/12.1.0.2_64/client
export OS=Linux
export NODE_ID=Member1
export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export ORACLE_SID=<DB_SID>
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin

3. Additional environment settings will be configured in the .profile file by the MDM
installation process and do not need to be manually setup.

See below for details


SSAPR=/home/cup/infa/mdm/hub/cleanse/resources
export SSAPR

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/home/cup/infa/mdm/hub/cleanse/lib"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Please check that these settings are present in the .profile file after running the process
server silent install.

LUF-MDM-002 Informatica MDM Hub Installation and Configuration Guide

11.3 Appendix C Configure SSL

The following tasks are required to configure HTTPS for secure SSL connections

No. Installation Instruction Step Check

1. First use the java keytool to import the supplied certificate and create a
keystore

$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -import -alias smile_cup -keyalg


RSA -keystore smile_cup.keystore -file vmh-
cupappxxx.lpa.dlh.de.cer

It will ask if you trust this certificate, answer: yes

Make a note of the password that you use.

2. Modify the standalone-full-ha.xml file to add the SSL settings


below
<server xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:1.7">
...
<profile>
...
<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:2.2" default-virtual-
server="default-host" native="false">
<connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http"
socket-binding="http"/>
<connector name="https" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="https"
socket-binding="https" enable-lookups="false" secure="true">
<ssl name="ssl"
key-alias="smile_cup"
password="smile+cup"
certificate-key-
file="../standalone/keystore/smile_cup.keystore"
protocol="TLSv1"
verify-client="false"/>
</connector>
...
</subsystem>
...
</profile>
...
</server>

3. Then add the truststore setting to the standalone.conf file as follows

JAVA_OPTS="-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/path/to/keystore -
Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=smile+cup $JAVA_OPTS"

Then start JBoss and test that SSL connections can be made

11.4 Appendix D JBoss Modules

The JBoss Modules are usually configured during the post installation step, however, if they have not
been configured correctly then you can set them up manually as described below

No. Installation Instruction Step

1. Log in to the application server using the cup user

2. Create the following directory structure under the modules folder

modules
com
activevos
main
informatica
mdm
jdbc
main

The main folder should contain the following two files

module.xml
ojdbc7.jar

The jar file can be obtained from the Oracle installation folder

The module.xml file should have the following contents

<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="com.informatica.mdm.jdbc">


<resources>
<resource-root path="ojdbc7.jar"/>
</resources>
<dependencies>
<module name="javax.api"/>
<module name="javax.transaction.api"/>
</dependencies>
</module>

This applies to both the mdm/jdbc/main folder and the activevos/main folder

11.6 Appendix F Restarting a failed installation from the beginning

If an installation fails because a parameter was wrong or through environmental issues you can
restart it from the beginning by following the steps below

No. Installation Instruction Step

1. Log in to the application server using the cup user

2. To restart you need to remove the infa sub folders, delete any partial deployments and
reset the standalone-full-ha.xml removing any changes made by the installation
process

rm -Rf /home/cup/infa/avos

rm -Rf /home/cup/infa/mdm

rm /home/cup/jboss-eap-6.4/standalone/deployments/*

cp /home/cup/install/standalone-full-ha.xml /home/cup/jboss-eap-

11.7 Appendix G Installation Issues

Sometimes installations can fail here are some known issues

No. Installation Instruction Step

1. Unable to connect to MDM console with the following error No EJB requester available

Save the JNLP file by right clicking on the button on the MDM console web page and select
save as.

Open it in an editor. Then check the cmxServerName value is set to the application server
hostname and then save the file. You can then execute the file using javaws

No. Installation Instruction Step

2. Problems registering an ORS database after installation is complete.

This is a known problem KB-497648 with Informatica 10.1 Hotfix 1 and will be fixed in a
future release.

This error occurs if you attempt to register an ORS database after you have configured the
jboss cluster in the cmxserver.properties file.

You should complete instructions in step 10.1 before you complete step 10.4.

The work around is to disable the jboss.cluster settings in cmxserver.properties file


and restart the server. Then register the database and reenable the cluster setting.

You will also need to manually copy the datasource configuration in the standalone-
full-ha.xml to all nodes in the cluster.

See Appendix H below for details on how to add a data source using JBoss CLI

Page 48 of 50
LUF-MDM-002 Informatica MDM Hub Installation and Configuration Guide

No. Installation Instruction Step

3. Unable to access ActiveVOS Central after installation

This can happen if the task url isnt configured properly. We need to open the activevos-
central.war file and set the HtTaskClientServiceUrl property.

<entry name="HtTaskClientServiceUrl" value="http://127.0.0.1:8011/active-


bpel/services/AeB4PTaskClient-taskOperations"/>

Execute the commands below to edit the xml configuration file


cp /home/cup/jboss-eap-6.4/standalone/deployments/activevos-central.war .
jar xvf activevos-central.war WEB-INF/aeworkflow-config.xml

vi WEB-INF/aeworkflow-config.xml

jar uvf activevos-central.war WEB-INF/aeworkflow-config.xml


cp activevos-central.war /home/cup/jboss-eap-6.4/standalone/deployments/

The war file will redeploy and the activevos central application will be available.
