Chapter 5: Deploying Files and Executing e-Biz Impact Clusters

Introduction

Once you have created your AIMs and production objects, configured your system, and set up optional security, you must deploy the configuration and cluster files to the location from which you want to run the cluster. This location must be on the same system where the e-Biz Impact server is installed, usually a UNIX box. Afterward, you can start the e-Biz Impact cluster.

You use the deploy utility to copy the cluster configuration and cluster files (.xml and .cfg files) to the runtime location. You also must manually copy any project, module, and table files (.prj, .mod, and .tbl files) to the same location.

When you start the cluster, the e-Biz Impact executable launches a separate process for each controller associated with the specified cluster. The controller process then launches each child application, as defined in each application’s configuration file.

NoteWhen a cluster has multiple controllers, the order in which controllers start is by the alphabetic order of controller names. When a controller is responsible for multiple applications, the order in which the applications start within the controller is by type—server applications first, then acquire applications, then by the alphabetic order within those types.

You can run e-Biz Impact as a Windows service or add the executable to a UNIX rc script for automatic start-up.

NoteThe rc script files contain start-up instructions for an application, program, or entire operating system. The rc script is usually a text file containing commands that are executed automatically each time the system starts up. See your operating system documentation for more information.

Before you execute a cluster, you must:

  1. Add the ims wrapper script location to the path where the cluster will run. See “Setting the ims wrapper script path”.

  2. Deploy the cluster’s configuration files, and manually move the cluster’s project, module, and application files to the runtime location. See “Deploying cluster files”.

Once you perform these procedures, you can execute the cluster. See “Starting clusters”.
