Chapter 5. Installing Red Hat Decision Manager from ZIP files

Procedure

1. Extract the rhdm-7.2.0-decision-central-eap7-deployable.zip file to a temporary directory. In the following examples this directory is called TEMP_DIR.

2. Copy the contents of the TEMP_DIR/rhdm-7.2.0-decision-central-eap7-deployable/jboss-eap-7.2 directory to EAP_HOME. When prompted, merge or replace files.

   Warning

   Ensure the names of the Red Hat Decision Manager deployments you are copying do not conflict with your existing deployments in the Red Hat JBoss EAP instance.

Procedure

1. Extract the rhdm-7.2.0-kie-server-ee7.zip archive to a temporary directory. In the following examples this directory is called TEMP_DIR.

2. Copy the TEMP_DIR/rhdm-7.2.0-kie-server-ee7/rhdm-7.2.0-kie-server-ee7/kie-server.war directory to EAP_HOME/standalone/deployments/.

   Warning

   Ensure the names of the Red Hat Decision Manager deployments you are copying do not conflict with your existing deployments in the Red Hat JBoss EAP instance.

3. Copy the contents of the TEMP_DIR/rhdm-7.2.0-kie-server-ee7/rhdm-7.2.0-kie-server-ee7/SecurityPolicy/ to EAP_HOME/bin. When asked to overwrite files, click Replace.
4. In the EAP_HOME/standalone/deployments/ directory, create an empty file named kie-server.war.dodeploy. This file ensures that Decision Server is automatically deployed when the server starts.

Procedure

1. In a terminal application, navigate to the EAP_HOME/bin directory.

2. Create a user with the admin role that you will use to log in to Decision Central. In the following command, replace <username> and <password> with the user name and password of your choice.

   $ ./add-user.sh -a --user <USERNAME>  --password <PASSWORD> --role admin

   Note

   Make sure that the specified user name is not the same as an existing user, role, or group. For example, do not create a user with the user name admin.

   The password must have at least eight characters and must contain at least one number and one non-alphanumeric character, but not & (ampersand).

3. Create a user with the kie-server role that you will use to log in to Decision Server.

   $ ./add-user.sh -a --user <USERNAME>  --password <PASSWORD> --role kie-server

4. Make a note of your user names and passwords.

   Note

   If you installed Decision Central and Decision Server in the same server instance, you can create a single user that has both of these roles:

   $ ./add-user.sh -a --user <USERNAME>  --password <PASSWORD> --role admin,rest-all,kie-server

   You should install Decision Central and Decision Server on different servers in production environments.

Procedure

1. In the Decision Central EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml file, uncomment the following properties in the <system-properties> section and replace <USERNAME> and <USER_PWD> with the credentials of a user with the kie-server role:

      <property name="org.kie.server.user" value="<USERNAME>"/>
      <property name="org.kie.server.pwd" value="<USER_PWD>"/>

2. In the Decision Server EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml file, uncomment the following properties in the <system-properties> section.

     <property name="org.kie.server.controller.user" value="<CONTROLLER_USER>"/>
     <property name="org.kie.server.controller.pwd" value="<CONTROLLER_PWD>"/>
     <property name="org.kie.server.id" value="<KIE_SERVER_ID>"/>
     <property name="org.kie.server.location" value="http://<HOST>:<PORT>/kie-server/services/rest/server"/>
     <property name="org.kie.server.controller" value="<CONTROLLER_URL>"/>

3. Replace the following values:

   • Replace <CONTROLLER_USER> and <CONTROLLER_PWD> with the credentials of a user with the rest-all role.
   • Replace <KIE_SERVER_ID> with the ID or name of the Decision Server installation, for example, rhdm-7.2.0-decision_server-1.
   • Replace <HOST> with the ID or name of the Decision Server host, for example, localhost or 192.7.8.9.

   • Replace <PORT> with the port of the Decision Server host, for example, 8080.

     Note

     The org.kie.server.location property specifies the location of Decision Server.

   • Replace <CONTROLLER_URL> with the URL of Decision Central. Decision Server connects to this URL during startup.

     • If you installed Decision Central using the installer or Red Hat JBoss EAP zip installations, <CONTROLLER_URL> has this format:

       http://<HOST>:<PORT>/decision-central/rest/controller

     • If you are running Decision Central using the standalone.jar file, <CONTROLLER_URL> has this format:

       http://<HOST>:<PORT>/rest/controller
