\section{Management of operational processes} Availability of the components 1. Database server 2. Artefact-server 3. Apache Tomcat running the WebClient 4. Apache WebServer During a server startup the installed components get started automatically. \subsection{Managing the Artefact Server} \subsubsection*{Start Stop Restart} The artefact server can be restarted without stopping the WebClient. During the restart-process client accessing the server get an approriate message. Their session data will not be lost if the artefact database will remain untouched. Stopping artefact server \verb+ /etc/init.d/artefact-server stop+ Starting artefact server \verb+ /etc/init.d/artefact-server start+ Restarting artefact server \verb+ /etc/init.d/artefact-server restart+ \subsubsection*{Monitoring the System} C.f. Testing the installation for the levels: operating system, network and service availability \subsubsection*{Troubleshooting} Database problems For checking problems for problems with the connection to the database server, check the logfile of the artefact-server (c.f. FIXME installation) look for entries like FIXME. In most cases, a restart of the artefact-server will help to solve problems in the artefact-server. If you still encounter problems, check for the network connection to the database server and the maturity of the database server. Inconsistencies between original data and cached data The artefact-server stores result sets of the database in a cache and provides maps via configuration files for MapServer based on shapefiles. In case of inconsistencies showing up for longer than twice the maximum of the update cycle of internal ETL processes, do the following as user \verb+root+: \begin{lstlisting} /etc/init.d/artefact-server stop rm -ri \$ARTEFACT-SERVER-HOME/cache/* /etc/init.d/artefact-server start \end{lstlisting} \subsection{Managing the GNV-Client} \subsubsection*{Start Stop Restart} The GNV-WebClient can be managed by controlling Apache Tomcat instance: Status GNV-WebClient \verb+ /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 status+ Stopping GNV-WebClient \verb+ /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 stop+ Starting GNV-WebClient \verb+ /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start+ Restarting GNV-WebClient \verb+ /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 restart+ \subsubsection*{Monitoring the System} For different possibilities c.f. Testing the installation \subsubsection*{Troubleshooting} The GNV-WebClient can not accessed through the Apache WebServer, do the following: 1. \verb+ /etc/init.d/apache2 restart+ 2. Check in your browser at \verb+ http://\$SERVERNAME/gnv+ If you still encounter problems, follow the next these steps: {\bf Caution: The entire application will be down until the WebServer is back up} \begin{lstlisting} /etc/init.d/apache2 stop /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 stop rm -r /usr/share/tomcat5.5/work/Catalina/localhost/gnv/* /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start # wait until tomcat is up /etc/init.d/apache2 start \end{lstlisting} For further information, you look into the Logging during the use of the GNV WebClient \verb+ tail -f -n 50 /usr/share/tomcat5.5/logs/gnv.log+ To get even more logging, do the following: {\bf Caution: The entire application will be down until the Apache Tomcat has started properly; the higher log-level can affect the runtime-behaviour of the client} \begin{lstlisting} /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 stop Set logging to DEBUG (FIXME) vim /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps/gnv/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start # wait until tomcat is up tail -f -n 50 /usr/share/tomcat5.5/logs/gnv.log \end{lstlisting} It is recommended to undo the logging configuration, after the relevant part has been found. \section{Lists of References} FIXME FIXME: How to adapt the address/port of connection to REST-server.E
