Assembling ATG Knowledge

To assemble ATG Knowledge, you create an EAR file that includes the modules ATG Knowledge requires using the <ATG2007.3dir>/home/bin/runAssembler tool. Before assembling the file, identify which modules you will require.

To create an EAR file for ATG Knowledge on an IBM Websphere or JBoss application server:

  1. Open the runAssembler script located in the <ATG2007.3dir>/home/bin directory to create an EAR file.

    In the following example, MyKnowledgeApplication.ear represents the EAR file and contains the optional Service.KnowledgeDataWarehouse module for Reporting:

    runAssembler –server svcagent –standalone –liveconfig
    MyKnowledgeApplication.ear -m SearchAdmin.UI DAF.Search.Base.SearchUI
    Service.Knowledge Service.KnowledgeDataWarehouse Service.Admin
    DafEar.Admin

    Note: The order of the modules is important. The SearchAdmin.UI and DAF.Search.Base.SearchUI modules should be listed first, followed by the main module, and then the admin module.

    Note: The –standalone flag configures the assembled EAR in standalone mode, or on a server that does not have ATG installed. In Standalone mode, all of files needed to run the application are included within the EAR. This flag is required.

    For detailed instructions on assembling ATG applications for third-party application servers, see the appropriate section in the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide.

  2. Deploy the resulting EAR files to your application server and start them according to the instructions in your application server documentation.

  3. The SQL database and the DistributorServer must be running before you start your ATG applications. To start the DistributorServer on your HTTP server machine(s), run the startNucleus -m Distributor command under ATGWebServerExtensions_dir/home/bin.
