Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Editing the deployment configuration files

You must edit the applicationserver.xml and deployapplication.xml configuration XML files to provide the property values for your environment. You can use any text editor to open and edit the files.

Before you begin

Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.

About this task

To edit the values in the configuration XML files:

Procedure

  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Configuration Manager values, filter by the task you are editing in the Installation or Configuration Program column:
    • CM: Set Application Server properties
    • CM: Deploy Application
  2. If you have not already edited the applicationserver.xml file in Configuring Content Platform Engine, set the application server property values for your site.
    1. Use a text editor or XML editor to open the applicationserver.xml file.
    2. Replace each occurrence of ****INSERT VALUE**** with a value appropriate for your site. See the descriptions in the file for more information.
    3. Verify that the default values for the remaining properties are correct for your site.
      High availability clustered server environments(Application server cluster configurations only): Make sure the following settings are used in a high availability environment using cluster configurations:
      Deployment type
      Verify that Deployment type is set to Cluster.
      Application server name
      Enter the name of the highly available cluster that you have configured.

      This configures the GCD data sources and security settings at the administrative level so that all cluster nodes have access to this vital configuration information.

      Restriction: JBoss Application Server clusters do not have an administrative server. When installing Content Platform Engine choose a single JBoss Application Server node on which to install Content Platform Engine, then copy the necessary files to the rest of the nodes in the cluster. To deploy a Content Platform Engine instance on each additional JBoss Application Server in your cluster, follow the instructions for deploying Content Platform Engine to additional JBoss servers in a cluster.
    4. Save your edits.
  3. Set the deployment property values for your site.
    1. Use a text editor or XML editor to open the applicationserver.xml file.
    2. Replace each occurrence of ****INSERT VALUE**** with a value appropriate for your site. See the descriptions in the file for more information.
    3. Set the enabled attribute value in the <configuration> tag to true. By default, the enabled value is set to false. For deployment to occur, you must enable the task.
    4. Verify that the default values for the remaining properties are correct for your site.
      WebSphere® Application Server only:
      1. For standard deployment or non-cluster network deployment, specify values for <applicationservername> and <applicationservernode>.
      2. For cluster deployment, specify values for <applicationservername>, <applicationservernode>, and <applicationserverclustername>.
    5. Save your edits.
  4. Run the storepasswords command to encrypt and store the web application server administrator password.
    configmgr_cl storepasswords -profile myprofile
    Tip: If the storepasswords command prompts you to store passwords in configuration files on disk, you must respond with yes or no (instead of y or n).
