Daemonizing the P6 EPPM WebLogic Domain Processes

This section explains how to configure the P6 EPPM domain, when installed on Linux, as a daemon process through systemd. If your WebLogic server implementation already includes a Node Manager daemon process, uninstall it prior to completing this instruction. For more information about systemd, refer to your operating system documentation.

To daemonize the Node Manager and your P6 EPPM applications:

Open a terminal and log in to the system as a super user (root user) or as a user with sudo access.
Change the directory to the following location:
/etc/systemd/system
Create a service file called wlsnodemgr.service.
Edit wlsnodemgr.service and add the following lines:
[Unit]

Description=WebLogic nodemanager service

After=network.target nss-lookup.target remote-fs.target

Wants=nss-lookup.target remote-fs.target

Before=p6eppm.service

[Service]

Type=simple

Environment=WebLogic_Home=<WebLogic_Home_Path>

Environment=P6_EPPM_Domain=${WebLogic_Home}/user_projects/domains/<P6_EPPM_Domain_Name>

Environment=NodeMgr_Log_File=<NodeMgr_Log_Path>/wlsnodemgr.log

ExecStart=/bin/bash -c './${P6_EPPM_Domain}/bin/startNodeManager.sh > $NodeMgr_Log_File'

ExecStop=/bin/bash -c './${P6_EPPM_Domain}/bin/stopNodeManager.sh > $NodeMgr_Log_File'

RemainAfterExit=yes

User=<Linux_User>

Group=<Linux_Group>

KillMode=process

LimitNOFILE=65535

TimeoutStartSec=120

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

Where:
- <WebLogic_Home_Path> is the WebLogic home directory.
- <P6_EPPM_Domain_Name> is the WebLogic domain name for P6 EPPM that was set during configuration/installation of Primavera P6
- <NodeMgr_Log_Path> is the log path where the start and stop processes write their logs. You can use any location.
- <Linux_User> is the Linux user to associate with and run the daemon process.
- <Linux_Group> is the Linux user group to associate with and run the daemon process.
Save and close the file.
Create a service file called p6eppm.service.
Edit the p6eppm.service and add the following lines:
[Unit]

Description=P6 EPPM service

After=wlsnodemgr.service

Requires=wlsnodemgr.service

BindsTo=wlsnodemgr.service

[Service]

Type=simple

Environment=P6_Log_File=<P6_Log _Path>/p6.log

Environment=P6_EPPM_Home=<P6_EPPM_Home>

ExecStart=/bin/bash -c './${P6_EPPM_Home}/scripts/start_Primavera.sh > $P6_Log_File'

RemainAfterExit=yes

ExecStop=/bin/bash -c './${P6_EPPM_Home}/scripts/stop_Primavera.sh > $P6_Log_File'

User=<Linux_User>

Group=<Linux_Group>

KillMode=process

TimeoutStartSec=1200

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

Where:
- <P6_EPPM_Home> is the P6 EPPM home directory that was set during installation.
- <P6_Log _Path> is the log path where the start and stop processes write their logs. You can use any location.
- <Linux_User> is the Linux user you to associate with and run the daemon process.
- <Linux_Group> is the Linux user group to associate with and run the daemon process.
Save and close the file.
Enable the services, by running:
sudo systemctl enable wlsnodemgr p6eppm
Reload the Services, by running:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Check the Status of the services and logs, by running:
sudo systemctl status wlsnodemgr

sudo systemctl status p6eppm

Note: The output shows - Active: inactive (dead) first time and shows - Active: active (running) after reboot of server or after manual start.

Once you have created the services, you can:

Check the start and stop logs, by running:
cat <NodeMgr_Log_Path>/wlsnodemgr.log

cat <P6_Log _Path>/p6.log
Stop the service, by running: sudo systemctl stop p6eppm wlsnodemgr
Start the service, by running: sudo systemctl start wlsnodemgr p6eppm
Disable the service, by running: sudo systemctl disable wlsnodemgr p6eppm
Restart the service, by running: sudo systemctl restart wlsnodemgr p6eppm
