Abstract

This document describes how to deploy a Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.1 trial environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

Preface

As a system engineer, you can deploy a Red Hat Process Automation Manager trial environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform to evaluate or demonstrate development and use of rules and other business assets.

Prerequisites

  • At least three gigabytes of memory must be available in the OpenShift cluster/namespace.
  • The OpenShift project for the deployment must be created.
  • You must be logged in to the project using the oc command. For more information about the oc command-line tool, see the OpenShift CLI Reference. If you want to use the OpenShift Web console to deploy templates, you must also be logged on using the Web console.

Chapter 1. Overview of Red Hat Process Automation Manager on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform

You can deploy Red Hat Process Automation Manager into a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform environment.

In this solution, components of Red Hat Process Automation Manager are deployed as separate OpenShift pods. You can scale each of the pods up and down individually, providing as few or as many containers as necessary for a particular component. You can use standard OpenShift methods to manage the pods and balance the load.

The following key components of Red Hat Process Automation Manager are available on OpenShift:

  • Process Server, also known as Execution Server or KIE Server, is the infrastructure element that runs decision services, process applications, and other deployable assets (collectively referred to as services) . All logic of the services runs on execution servers.

    A database server is normally required for Process Server. You can provide a database server in another OpenShift pod or configure an execution server on OpenShift to use any other database server. Alternatively, Process Server can use an H2 database; in this case, the pod cannot be scaled.

    You can freely scale up a Process Server pod, providing as many copies as necessary, running on the same host or different hosts. As you scale a pod up or down, all its copies use the same database server and run the same services. OpenShift provides load balancing and a request can be handled by any of the pods.

    You can deploy a separate Process Server pod to run a different group of services. That pod can also be scaled up or down. You can have as many separate replicated Process Server pods as necessary.

  • Business Central is a web-based interactive environment for authoring services. It also provides a management and monitoring console. You can use Business Central to develop services and deploy them to Process Servers. You can also use Business Central to monitor the execution of processes.

    Business Central is a centralized application. However, you can configure it for high availability, where multiple pods run and share the same data.

    Business Central includes a Git repository that holds the source for the services that you develop on it. It also includes a built-in Maven repository. Depending on configuration, Business Central can place the compiled services (KJAR files) into the built-in Maven repository or (if configured) into an external Maven repository.

Important

In the current version, high-availability Business Central functionality is a technology preview.

  • Business Central Monitoring is a web-based management and monitoring console. It can manage deployment of services to Process Servers and provide monitoring information, but does not include authoring capabilities. You can use this component to manage staging and production environments.
  • Smart Router is an optional layer between Process Servers and other components that interact with them. It is required if you want Business Central or Business Central Monitoring to interact with several different Process Servers. Also, when your environment includes many services running on different Process Servers, Smart Router provides a single endpoint to all client applications. A client application can make a REST API call requiring any service. Smart Router automatically determines which Process Server must be called for any particular request.

You can arrange these and other components into various environment configurations within OpenShift.

The following environment types are typical:

  • Authoring: An environment for creating and modifying services using Business Central. It consists of pods that provide Business Central for the authoring work and a Process Server for test execution of the services. For instructions about deploying this environment, see Deploying a Red Hat Process Automation Manager authoring environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
  • Managed deployment: An environment for running existing services for staging and production purposes. This environment includes several groups of Process Server pods; you can deploy and undeploy services on every such group and also scale the group up or down as necessary. Use Business Central Monitoring to deploy, run, and stop the services and to monitor their execution. For instructions about deploying this environment, see Deploying a Red Hat Process Automation Manager managed server environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
  • Deployment with immutable servers: An alternate environment for running existing services for staging and production purposes. In this environment, when you deploy a Process Server pod, it builds an image that loads and starts a service or group of services. You cannot stop any service on the pod or add any new service to the pod. If you want to use another version of a service or modify the configuration in any other way, you deploy a new server image and displace the old one. In this system, the Process Server runs like any other pod on the OpenShift environment; you can use any container-based integration workflows and do not need to use any other tools to manage the pods. Optionally, you can use Business Central Monitoring to monitor the performance of the environment and to stop and restart some of the service instances, but not to deploy additional services to any Process Server or undeploy any existing ones (you can not add or remove containers). For instructions about deploying this environment, see Deploying a Red Hat Process Automation Manager immutable server environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

You can also deploy a trial or evaluation environment. This environment includes Business Central and a Process Server. You can set it up quickly and use it to evaluate or demonstrate developing and running assets. However, the environment does not use any persistent storage, and any work you do in the environment is not saved. For instructions about deploying this environment, see Deploying a Red Hat Process Automation Manager trial environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

To deploy a Red Hat Process Automation Manager environment on OpenShift, you can use the templates that are provided with Red Hat Process Automation Manager. You can modify the templates to ensure that the configuration suits your environment.

Chapter 2. Ensuring the availability of image streams

You must ensure that the image streams that are required for the deployment are available in your OpenShift environment. Some versions of the OpenShift environment include the necessary image streams. You must check if they are available. If they are not available, you must install the rhpam71-image-streams.yaml file.

Procedure

  1. Run the following commands: 

    $ oc get imagestreamtag -n openshift | grep rhpam71-businesscentral
$ oc get imagestreamtag -n openshift | grep rhpam71-kieserver

    If the outputs of both commands are not empty, the required image streams are available and no further action is required.

  2. If the output of one or both of the commands is empty, download the rhpam-7.1.0-openshift-templates.zip product deliverable file from the Software Downloads page. Extract the rhpam71-image-streams.yaml file from it. Complete one of the following actions:

    • Run the following command: 

      $ oc create -f rhpam71-image-streams.yaml
    • Using the OpenShift Web UI, select Add to Project → Import YAML / JSON, then choose the file or paste its contents.

Chapter 3. Deploying a trial environment

You can deploy a trial (evaluation) Red Hat Process Automation Manager environment. It consists of Business Central for authoring or managing services and Process Server for test execution of services.

This environment does not include permanent storage. Assets that you create or modify in a trial environment are not saved.

The procedure is minimal. There are no required settings and all passwords are set to a single value (the default password is RedHat).

To deploy a trial environment, use the rhpam71-trial-ephemeral.yaml template file. You can extract this file from the rhpam-7.1.0-openshift-templates.zip product deliverable file. You can download the file from the Software Downloads page of the Red Hat Customer Portal.

Procedure

  1. Use one of the following methods to deploy the template:

    • In the OpenShift Web UI, select Add to Project → Import YAML / JSON and then select or paste the rhpam71-trial-ephemeral.yaml file. In the Add Template window, ensure Process the template is selected and click Continue.

    • To use the OpenShift command line console, prepare the following command line: 

      oc new-app -f <template-path>/rhpam71-trial-ephemeral.yaml

      In this command line, replace <template-path> with the path to the downloaded template file.

  2. Optionally, set any parameters as described in the template. However, a typical trial deployment does not require any parameters.

  3. Complete the creation of the environment, depending on the method that you are using:

    • In the OpenShift Web UI, click Create.

      • A This will create resources that may have security or project behavior implications pop-up message might be displayed. If it is displayed, click Create Anyway.
    • Complete and run the command line.

Chapter 4. OpenShift template reference information

Red Hat Process Automation Manager provides the following OpenShift templates. To access the templates, download and extract the rhpam-7.1.0-openshift-templates.zip product deliverable file from the Software Downloads page of the Red Hat customer portal.

  • rhpam71-trial-ephemeral.yaml provides a Business Central and a Process Server connected to the Business Central. This environment uses an ephemeral configuration without any persistent storage. For details about this template, see Section 4.1, “rhpam71-trial-ephemeral”.

An alternative that matches on the authenticated userDN is (member={1}).

${AUTH_LDAP_ROLE_FILTER}

AUTH_LDAP_ROLE_RECURSION

The number of levels of recursion the role search will go below a matching context. Disable recursion by setting this to 0.

${AUTH_LDAP_PARSE_ROLE_NAME_FROM_DN}

AUTH_LDAP_ROLE_ATTRIBUTE_IS_DN

Whether or not the roleAttributeID contains the fully-qualified DN of a role object. If false, the role name is taken from the value of the roleNameAttributeId attribute of the context name. Certain directory schemas, such as Microsoft Active Directory, require this attribute to be set to true.

${AUTH_LDAP_ROLE_ATTRIBUTE_IS_DN}

AUTH_LDAP_REFERRAL_USER_ATTRIBUTE_ID_TO_CHECK

4.1.2.4. External Dependencies

4.1.2.4.1. Secrets

This template requires the following secrets to be installed for the application to run.

4.2. OpenShift usage quick reference

To deploy, monitor, manage, and undeploy Red Hat Process Automation Manager templates on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, you can use the OpenShift Web console or the oc command.

For instructions about using the Web console, see Create and build an image using the Web console.

For detailed instructions about using the oc command, see CLI Reference. The following commands are likely to be required:

  • To create a project, use the following command: 

    $ oc new-project <project-name>

    For more information, see Creating a project using the CLI.

  • To deploy a template (create an application from a template), use the following command: 

    $ oc new-app -f <template-name> -p <parameter>=<value> -p <parameter>=<value> ...

    For more information, see Creating an application using the CLI.

  • To view a list of the active pods in the project, use the following command: 

    $ oc get pods

  • To view the current status of a pod, including information whether or not the pod deployment has completed and it is now in a running state, use the following command: 

    $ oc describe pod <pod-name>

    You can also use the oc describe command to view the current status of other objects. For more information, see Application modification operations.

  • To view the logs for a pod, use the following command: 

    $ oc logs <pod-name>

  • To view deployment logs, look up a DeploymentConfig name in the template reference and run the following command: 

    $ oc logs -f dc/<deployment-config-name>

    For more information, see Viewing deployment logs.

  • To view build logs, look up a BuildConfig name in the template reference and run the command: 

    $ oc logs -f bc/<build-config-name>

    For more information, see Accessing build logs.

  • To scale a pod in the application, look up a DeploymentConfig name in the template reference and run the command: 

    $ oc scale dc/<deployment-config-name> --replicas=<number>

    For more information, see Manual scaling.

  • To undeploy the application, you can delete the project by using the command: 

    $ oc delete project <project-name>

    Alternatively, you can use the oc delete command to remove any part of the application, such as a pod or replication controller. For details, see Application modification CLI operation.
