Installing Volt MX Foundry on a Standalone Mode in a Pre-configured JBoss

Volt MX Foundry can be installed on a pre-configured standalone (single node) JBoss. Before installing, ensure that you configure the existing standalone JBoss by using the manual steps provided in the Prerequisites > Configure the pre-configured Standalone JBoss.

Important: You need the required hardware and access to the supporting software as mentioned in the Prerequisites section.

You must perform the steps noted in the Pre-installation Tasks section.

Make sure that you have proper administrative rights to install Volt MX Foundry on your computer.

The **** directory contains the log files documenting each invocation of the installer or uninstaller. To make problem identification easier, provide these log files to Volt MX when reporting an issue.

To install Volt MX Foundry on a pre-configured JBoss, follow these steps:

  1. Unzip the VoltMXFoundrySetup.zip file.

  2. Double-click VoltMXFoundryInstaller-x.x.x.x.GA.exe to launch the installer.
    The InstallAnywhere dialog appears. The InstallAnyWhere dialog displays information about the progress of the software installation at run time.

    A dialog with the Volt MX logo appears.

  3. The Welcome to Volt MX Foundry windows appears.
    Read the instructions carefully before installing Volt MX Foundry Console.

  4. Read the instructions carefully, and click Next.
    The LICENSE AGREEMENT window appears.

  5. Scroll until end of the screen, and select the “I accept the terms of the License Agreement” option.

    Note: To activate the License Agreement option, read carefully the whole agreement text.

  6. Click Next. The Install Components window appears with the following supported installation types:

    • Development for single machine instance.

    • Non-Production for larger environments like QA or UAT.

    • Production for the production instance.

    Installation environment is set to Development by default .

  7. Choose one of the appropriate install type based on your license - for example, Development, Non-Production, or Production.
  8. Select the Send usage data anonymously check box. Allows HCL to collect product usage information to make your Volt MX Foundry experience better. HCL does not save any of your private or application data. By default this check box is selected.

  9. Click Next. The **Choose components to install** window appears.

  10. Select one or more check boxes for the supported components. By default, the Console, Identity Services, Integration Services, and Engagement Services check boxes are selected:

    • Console - To install Volt MX Foundry Console, select the Console check box.
      The system creates the following databases: <prefix>mfconsoledb<suffix>, <prefix>mfaccountsdb<suffix>, and  <prefix>mfreportsdb<suffix>.
    • Identity Services - To install Volt MX Identity Services, select the Identity Services check box.
      The system creates the following database: <prefix>idconfigdb<suffix>.
    • Integration Services - To install Volt MX Foundry Integration Services, select the Integration Services check box.
      The system creates the following databases: voltmxadmindb  and  mfreportsdb.

    • API Developer Portal - To install developer portal, select the API Developer Portal check box.

      Note: During installation if you have selected API Developer Portal, the API Developer Portal is created. You can directly access your VoltMX Developer Portal in Volt MX Foundry Console.

    • Engagement Services - To install Volt MX Foundry Engagement Services, select the Engagement Services check box.
      The system creates the following database: <prefix>vpnsdb<suffix>.

    Reports Database

    The reports database is used for configuring reports.

    The Installer creates the mfreportsdb if you are installing the following Volt MX Foundry components:

    • Console without Integration Services (with or without Engagement Services)
    • Console and Integration Services (with or without Engagement Services)
    • Integration Services without Console (with or without Engagement Services)

    Important:  If you try to install Integration and Console in different nodes, ensure that you point to the same reports database to make reports feature work properly.

    Reports Database for Integration on a Separate Node:

    While installing console and integration on separate nodes, the installer prompts you to point the reports database during the integration installation.

    For example:
    You have installed only Console on one node. The installer creates these three databases such as <>mfreportsdb<> along with the <>mfconsoledb<> and <>mfaccountsdb<>. For example, your report database name is voltmxmfreportsdb1

    When you install the integration with or without one or more components (identity, or Engagement Services) on a separate node, the installer displays the Reports Database Name field in the Database Details window. If the installer prompts you to enter the existing reports db, enter the reports database name (for example, voltmxmfreportsdb1) in the Database Details window > Reports Database Name field. Refer to the Database Details window.

    Refer to [creating a reports database, for example, **mfreports**](#CreatingReportsDB).

  11. Click Next. The Install Folder window appears. The selected path appears in the Where would you like to install field.

  12. Click Choose to browse the required folder from your system.
  13. Click Next. The Application Server window appears asking you to choose the application server. By default, the Application Sever is set to Tomcat.
  14. Click JBoss.

  15. Click Next. The Installation Mode window appears asking you to choose the mode. By default, this option is set to Standalone Mode (Single Node installation in bundled JBoss)

    Important: To install Volt MX Foundry on single node on JBoss that is installed along with the Volt MX Foundry Installer, click Standalone Mode (Single Node installation in bundled JBoss). For more details, refer to Standalone Mode (Single Node in bundled JBoss) Installation.

    To install multinode, click Domain Mode. Before installing domain mode, ensure that the JBoss cluster is configured on your install system. For more details, refer to Multi-Node Installation Procedure.

  16. Click Standalone Mode (Existing) and then click Next. The The **Application Server Details** window will appear with the following details:

  17. Enter the following details:

    • Fully Qualified Public URL of Volt MX Foundry: Enter load balancer URL to use public communication. For example, <http/https>://<hostname>:<http/https port>.

\- management\_server\_host\_name <application\_instance hostname>  \- management\_server\_port <soap port of application\_instance>  \- management\_server\_user <application\_instance admin username>  \- management\_server\_password <application\_instance admin password>   - management\_server\_groups <application\_instance groups details>

  1. Click Next. The Administrator Account Configuration window appears.

    The Administrator Account Configuration window helps you to configure your super administrator account.

    The Administrator Account Configuration window appears only while installing Console and Identity Services along with one or all other Volt MX Foundry components such as Integration Services, and Engagement Services on Tomcat or JBoss on a single node. You can select the components at Install Components.

    Note: During Volt MX Foundry installation if you have configured your super administrator account, you can directly log in to Volt MX Foundry Console.

  2. Select the Create Volt MX Foundry Administrator Account now check box and enter the following details to create the super administrator account.

    Once the installation completes, the Install Complete window appears with the confirmation message.

  5. Click Done to close the window.

    Important: After installing Volt MX Foundry, import your SSL (for example, domain.subdomain.crt) into your Volt MX Foundry Installer’s JRE trusted certificate authority (CA) certificates file - for example, C:\VoltMXFoundry\jre\lib\security\cacerts

    If your SSL certificate is not configured, the system displays an error message - for example, “peer not authenticated.”

    For details, refer to Troubleshoot with SSL Certificate Issues.

    Note: You can now access Volt MX Foundry Console by using the URLs. For more details, refer to Accessing Volt MX Foundry Console - On-premises.

    During installation if you have configured your super administrator account, you can directly log in to Volt MX Foundry Console by using the Console URL.
