Deploying the BAM server - Problem

mejas

Hi everyone. I`ve been installing the xCP environment few days following the guidelines from the xcp_2.0_deploy.pdf -> Manually Provisioning an xCP Environment. So far everything was going well, until I got to the BAM server deployment.

I am using Tomcat 7.0.35 as application server running on port 28080.

The guide is a bit confusing to me, as there is no wrapper.conf in the Tomcat installation, and setting the classpath in setclasspath.bat resulted in no deployment for bam-server.war with the following error:

Could not load properties; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: ${bam.properties} (The system cannot find the file specified)

The next thing I did was  putting all the files in an already predefined classloader for tomcat. I found this on the official tomcat web page:

A class loader is created for each web application that is deployed in a single Tomcat instance.  All unpacked classes and resources in the /WEB-INF/classes directory of your web application, plus classes and resources in JAR files under the /WEB-INF/lib directory of your web application, are made visible to this web application, but not to other ones.

Based on this, I put all files inside the /WEB-INF/classes, after what the deployment of bam-server.war went well. However the problem is that although the deployment is going well without errors, bam-server is not available.

Here are my files, previously configured and copied into /WEB-INF/classes:

1. Modified bam.properties file and copied into /WEB-INF/classes:

bam.jdbc.dialect=oracle

bam.jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin@localhost:1521:LISTENER

bam.jdbc.driver=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

bam.jdbc.userName=<username>

bam.jdbc.password=<password>

bam.jdbc.preference.maxRows=10000

bam.jdbc.preference.deployBatchSize=2500

bam.jdbc.preference.dataFormatBatchSize=1000

bam.jdbc.preference.initialSize=10

bam.jdbc.preference.maxIdle=-1

bam.jdbc.preference.maxActive=-1

bam.dfc.session.repository=xcp_docu

bam.dfc.session.repositoryUserName=<repository_username>  

bam.dfc.session.repositoryPassword=<repository_password>

2. Modified bam-server.properties and copied into /WEB-INF/classes:

bam.server.host=localhost

bam.server.port=8010

bam.server.context=bam-server

3. Copied dfc.properties into /WEB-INF/classes:

dfc.data.dir=C:/Documentum

dfc.globalregistry.password=...

dfc.globalregistry.repository=xcp_docu

dfc.globalregistry.username=<global_rep_username>

dfc.search.ecis.enable=false

dfc.search.ecis.host=

dfc.search.ecis.port=

dfc.session.secure_connect_default=try_native_first

dfc.tokenstorage.dir=C:/Documentum/apptoken

dfc.tokenstorage.enable=false

dfc.docbroker.host[0]=XCP2

dfc.docbroker.port[0]=1489

dfc.session.allow_trusted_login=false

4. Copied dfc.keystore and put instide /WEB-INF/classes

5. log4j is inside /WEB-INF/classes

Can you please help me with the installation, since I am stucked?

Thank you

I noticed a lot of the documentation is flat wrong. For example the classpath stuff doesn’t make sense how they explain it. I put mine in my catatina.bat/sh files. I know our DSE affirmed that he has actually submitted tickets to get that fixed. You need to extrapolate for now. We got ours working finally, but we had a lot of guessing to do. “Dot-O” product man!

Here is what I put in my catalina.sh at the very top.

APP_HOME=/home/wladmin/tomcat/apache-tomcat-7.0.29_8086_bam_xcp
