Running the Installation Program in Console Mode

The following sections describe how to run the installation program in console mode:

 


Running Console-Mode Installation

Start the installation program in console mode as described in Starting the Installation Program.

To complete the console-mode installation process, respond to the prompts in each section by entering the number associated with your choice or by pressing Enter to accept the default. To exit the installation process, enter exit (or x, for short) in response to any prompt. To review or change your selection, enter previous (or p, for short) at the prompt. To proceed to the following window, enter next (or n, for short).

Note: In the sample console text and directory pathnames provided in this section, Windows conventions (such as backslashes in pathnames) are used, for example, C:\bea\weblogic92. When entering pathnames on a UNIX system, be sure to use UNIX conventions, instead. For example, use forward slashes in pathnames, such as /home/bea/weblogic92.

The following procedure steps you through the installation program. Use this procedure after you have started the installation program in console mode, as described in Starting the Installation Program. You will complete the following configurations as you run the installation program:

Complete the Deployment of AquaLogic Service Registry to WebLogic Server

Note that WebLogic 8.1 and 9.2 are supported.

When you finish running the installer successfully, complete the following steps to complete the deployment of AquaLogic Service Registry to WebLogic Server.

  1. For WebLogic 8.1:
    1. Open the BEA WebLogic Server launch script:
    2. WL_HOME/user_projects/domains/DOMAIN_NAME/startWebLogic.sh or

      startWebLogic.cmd

    3. Add the following property to the Java command line for starting the WebLogic server:
    4. -Djava.security.auth.login.config=REGISTRY_HOME/conf/jaas.config

  2. For WebLogic 9.2:
    1. Open the setup script for the server’s domain environment:
    2. WL_HOME/user_projects/domains/DOMAIN_NAME/bin/setDomainEnv.sh or

      setDomainEnv.cmd

    3. Add the following line:
    4. set JAVA_OPTIONS= -Djava.security.auth.login.config=REGISTRY_HOME/conf/jaas.config

  3. For WebLogic 8.1 and 9.2:
  4. If you have not already done so, enable SSL in WebLogic. Restart WebLogic Server so that the previous changes in to the startup script in Step 1 take effect.

  5. (Optional) This step only required if you wish to use the sample client code.
  6. Note: AquaLogic Service Registry ships with sample client code that requires the WebLogic Server SSL certificate for the WebLogic Server instance on which AquaLogic Service Registry is deployed.

    Note that any other client code you use must also be configured for SSL connections to AquaLogic Service Registry using the appropriate tools for that type of client.

    Import the WebLogic Server SSL certificate to the BEA AquaLogic Service Registry configuration file.

    You can obtain the WebLogic SSL certificate via a browser by accessing a WebLogic-hosted page using HTTPS, and exporting the certificate to a Base-64 .cer file.

    To import this certificate into AquaLogic Service Registry, use the PStoreTool located in [registry_home]/bin PStoreTool.sh. add – config [registry_home]/conf/clientconf.xml -certFile [weblogic.cer]

This completes the deployment. The BEA AquaLogic Service Registry URL is:

http://[hostname]:[http_port]/[context]/uddi/web
