JBoss EAP 7.0 - Cantara Assur Server Installation

This documentation does not intend to document JBoss and It is assumed that anyone following the documentation contained on this page has experience working with JBoss.

Make sure you have done the following before deploying the Cantara Assur Server:

• Have an existing JBoss EAP Server instance or have created a server instance that meets the Cantara Server Technical Requirements.
• Set up the file system folders and confirmed that the user the JBoss server is running as has read and write permission to these folders.
• In the case of the Enterprise Edition ensure you have set up the Cantara Database. You must create the required Data Sources within your JBoss instance for the database platform selected.
• Extracted the Cantara Assur Server application .ZIP archive file into the installation folder according to the Installing the Cantara Integration Platform Web Archives instructions.
• Ensure the required Oracle EnterpriseOne JD Edwards libraries have been included.

Oracle Database Module

If you are using an Oracle database you must ensure that the Oracle JDBC Driver module is listed as a dependency in the jboss-deployment-structure.xml configuration file.

   Change Context Root

   If you want to change the context root you can do so in the WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml located in the installation directory. The default context root is /cantara.

5. Verify that this java property: "-Dcantara.assur.etc=/u01/rinami/cantara/assur/etc" is configured.

6. Click Finish, and the application should be deployed and enabled on your server.

7. If the deployment is successful you will see the Cantara Assur Server in the list of deployments with its state set to Enabled. If the deployment fails to start correctly, check the appropriate JBoss logs for deployment errors.
