Configure Properties Files in WAR Files for Console - JBoss

Volt MX Foundry Console setup consists of configuring properties files in the .war files such as accountsAPI.war, authService.war, mbaasportal.war, apiportal.war and workspaceService.war. For more details, refer to VoltMX Foundry Topology and Components.

Important:  The field names in the properties files of the following .WAR files are the same for all app servers. You must configure the values in the fields based on your app servers.

accountsAPI.war

To configure properties files in the accountsAPI.war file, follow these steps:

  1. Rename the accountsAPI.war  to  accounts.war.
  2. In the `accounts.war/`WEB-INF/classes folder, open the accounts.properties file, and then edit the following parameters.

    #This properties file is NOT meant for individual developer changes,  
  # if you need to overwrite any of the following, please use -DPARAMS locally on your PC!!  

   ACCOUNTS_DB_JNDI_NAME=<ACCOUNTS_JNDI_NAME> # For example, jdbc/voltmxaccounts  
   REPORTS_DB_JNDI_NAME=<REPORTS_JNDI_NAME>   # For example, jdbc/voltmxreports  

   ACCOUNTS_DB_SQL_DIALECT=**<DB Dialect>**  
 # Dialect string for MySQL **org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect**  
 # Dialect string for DB2 **org.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect**  
 # Dialect string for Oracle **org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect**  
 # Dialect string for SQL Server **org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect**  

  ORACLE_SID=<Oracle ServiceID/ServiceName> TXN_ISOLATION_LEVEL=2  

  ACCOUNTS_DB_CONNECTION_ISOLATION_LEVEL=2  
  ACCOUNTS_DB_SQL_SHOW=false  
  ACCOUNTS_DB_SQL_USE_SCROLLABLE_RESULTSET=true  
  ACCOUNTS_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<ANY_RANDOM_GUID like "8bf8cae5-d25e-497c-93b8-72300eab45d1">

 ```

3.  In the `accounts.properties` file, configure the following properties with proper values, shown below.
    *   For JBoss, change the value of <ACCOUNTS\_JNDI\_NAME> = jdbc/voltmxaccounts
    *   > **_Important:_** Enter the appropriate path for LOG\_LOCATION=<INSTLL\_DIR>.  
        For example:  
        \- For Windows: <C:/VoltMXFoundry>  
        \- For Linux: </home/user/VoltMXFoundry>


mbaasportal.war
---------------

To configure properties files in the mbaasportal.war file, follow these steps:

1.  Rename the `mbaasportal.war`  to  `mfconsole.war`.
2.  In the `mfconsole.war/``WEB-INF/classes`, open the `config.properties` file, and then edit the following parameters.

 ```

    VOLTMX_ACCOUNT_API_BASE_URL=<PUBLIC_URL>/accountsAPI/api/v1_0/  
    LOG_LEVEL=INFO  
    LOG_OPTION=logfile  
    LOG_LOCATION=<USER_INSTALL_DIR>/logs  
    WAAS_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<Any random GUID like 3bcf2351-a3e5-44b3-ac06-ff1bd5f738cd>  
    UI_ACCOUNTS_URLS=false  
    mobileFoundryVersion=<Version of Volt MX Foundry>
 ```

workspaceService.war
--------------------

To configure properties files in the workspaceService.war file, follow these steps:

1.  Rename the `workspaceService.war`  to  `workspace.war`.
2.  In the  `workspace.war/``WEB-INF/classes`, open the `workspaceService.properties` file, and then edit the following parameters.


RDS_DB_TYPE=<Database Type>  
WORKSPACESDB_NAME=<Workspace Service Database Name>  
WAASGLOBALDB_NAME=<Workspace Service Database Name>  
RDS_HOSTNAME=<Dataserver IP/Hostname>  
RDS_PORT=<Database port>  
MAX_ACTIVE_DBC=25  
APPSERVER_TYPE=<Application Server Type>  
WAAS_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<ANY_RANDOM_GUID like "3bcf2351-a3e5-44b3-ac06-ff1bd5f738cd">  
hibernate.dialect=<DB Dialect>  
# Dialect string for MySQL **org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect**  
# Dialect string for DB2 **org.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect**  
# Dialect string for Oracle **org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect**  
# Dialect string for SQL Server **org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect**\# Dialect string for DB2 **org.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect**  
ORACLE\_SID=<Oracle ServiceID/ServiceName> TXN_ISOLATION_LEVEL=2


3.  In the `workspaceService.properties` file, configure the following properties with proper values, shown below:

    *   RDS\_DB\_TYPE=<Database Type>. For example, RDS\_DB\_TYPE=MySQL, MSSQL, ORACLE, or DB2.
    *   APPSERVER\_TYPE=<Application server type>. For example, APPSERVER\_TYPE=`JBOSS`

    > **_Important:_** Enter the appropriate path for LOG\_LOCATION=<USER\_INSTALL\_DIR>.  
    For example:  
    \- For Windows: <C:/VoltMXFoundry>  
    \- For Linux: </home/user/VoltMXFoundry>


apiportal.war
-------------

Configure apiportal.war to install developer portal with Volt MX Foundry console. A developer portal is used to connect to various back-end systems and expose the data as standard RESTful APIs that are protected by standard oAuth 2.0.

**Perform the following action, to configure** **apiportal.war** **file:**

1.  In the `apiportal.war/``WEB-INF/classes`, open the `config.properties` file, and then edit the following parameters.

VOLTMX_ACCOUNT_API_BASE_URL=/accounts/api/v1_0/ LOG_LEVEL=INFO LOG_OPTION=logfile LOG_LOCATION=/logs/apiportal
VOLTMX_DEVELOPER_PORTAL_BASE_URL= /api ```
