Volt MX Foundry Installation on JBoss Domain Mode (Multinode)

This section of the document provides you with the instructions for installing and configuring the Volt MX Foundry Console on multinode.

The \<Install Location> directory contains the log files logging each invocation of the installer. To make problem identification easier, provide these log files to Volt MX when reporting an issue.

Accessing the live installation logs while the installation is running

Note: "tmp" directory is available inside JBoss_Home location.
During the installation, all the live logs will be created in the "tmp" directory, with the file name prefixed as "lax-" followed by timestamp. These are the two installation log files:
- lax-12347050814474460129-out.tmp
- lax-24487050814400678962-err.tmp
Note: These two files are important if there is any interruption to the installation, and due to which these files will not be merged into a single log file.
Tailing live log files during installation:

To tail the live log files during installation, run the following command:

tail -f lax-12347050814474460129-out.tmp
Once installation is done, these two log files will be merged and stored in the installation directory, with the file name prefixed as "Volt_MX_Foundry_Install_" followed by timestamp.
Reading log files once installation is completed:

To read the log files once installation is completed, run the following command:

vi Volt_MX_Foundry_Install_09_28_2021_23_02_07.log

To install Volt MX Foundry Console using the installer, follow these steps:

Switch to the user that you created by executing the following command:

# su - username
Press Enter. The system prompts you to enter the password.
Enter the password and press Enter.
Unzip the VoltMXFoundrySetup.tar.gz file, and navigate to the folder VoltMXFoundry_Installer_Linux.
Start the ./VoltMXFoundryInstaller-x.x.x.x.GA.bin file by executing the following command:

This installer will install a new or upgrade an existing instance of Volt MX Foundry.
Volt MX Foundry is a set of enterprise-grade mobile infrastructure services that makes it easy to build amazing apps that integrate and support all of your backend systems. With open, standards-based development, scalable and secure services, and exceptional agility, enterprises can dramatically reduce the cost and complexity of enterprise mobility projects.
To proceed with installation, please confirm that the following prerequisites have been met -
Database server for installation. MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, MS SQL Server are the          
    supported databases. MariaDB is supported for Tomcat/JBoss only.

    privileges as per the documentation.  
If you want to use your existing SSL certificate then please have the SSL certificate  
    mapped to the domain name you want to use.  
If you want to install with JBoss as an option for application    
    server, then have the application server preconfigured. Please note that single node  
    JBoss is also bundled as part of the installer, in case you want to install afresh.
To change input, type 'back' to go back to the previous step.  
To cancel the installation, type 'quit' at any time.

===================
Install Components
------------------
Please select Volt MX Foundry components to install.
The Console is the administrative interface to manage your apps, environments and users.
The Identity Services helps you to use a single gateway for all your authentication and authorization requests.
The Integration Services helps you connect with any enterprise or third-party system to expose, transform and orchestrate your data as APIs.
The API Developer Portal is a console that enables partner teams to discover, test and consume APIs.
Engage your app users over sms, email and push using segmentation, location, campaigns and event driven messaging.
A specialized component used to manage offline data synchronization between the backend system of record and the front-end app.
Console, Identity and Integration Services are mandatory components of Volt MX Foundry.
In a development scenario, all components can be installed on the same server. However, it is recommended to install these components on separate servers for a production environment.

->1- Console
->2- Identity Services
->3- Integration Services
->4- API Development Portal
->5- Engagement Services

ENTER THE NUMBER FOR YOUR CHOICE, OR PRESS <ENTER> TO ACCEPT THE DEFAULT::

Console - To install Volt MX Foundry Console, type 1 and press Enter. The system creates the following databases: <prefix>mfconsoledb<suffix>, <prefix>mfaccountsdb<suffix>, and <prefix>mfreportsdb<suffix>.
Identity Services - To install Volt MX Identity Services, type 2 and press Enter. The system creates the following database: <prefix>idconfigdb<suffix>.
Integration Services - To install Volt MX Foundry Integration, type 3 and press Enter. The system creates the following databases: voltmxadmindb and mfreportsdb.
API Developer Portal - To install developer portal, type 4 and press Enter.

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, type 5 and press Enter. 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 choose either Console or Integration Services:
- 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)
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 [creating a reports database, for example : mfreports
