\subsection{Artifact-Server} The Artifact-Server contains the entire business logic of the system. The server provides a RESTful interface with a XML-based protocol to the webclient. Technically the server is a standalone java process serving the REST interface. \subsubsection*{Installation} \label{ref:artifact-server-install} Running the server with its own user\footnote{Remark: A group with the same name is created automatically.}: \begin{lstlisting} adduser artifacts \end{lstlisting} Setup and configuring logging: \begin{lstlisting} cd /var/log mkdir artifacts chmod 770 artifacts chmod g+s artifacts \end{lstlisting} The log level can be adjusted in the file \verb+ conf/log4j.properties+. Further information can be found there. Integrate software of artifact-server into filesystem: \begin{lstlisting} cd /opt tar xfvj /root/artifact-server-$VERSION.tar.bz2 ln -s artifact-server-$VERSION artifact-server cd artifact-server \end{lstlisting} Setting the access rights: \begin{lstlisting} bin/setup.sh \end{lstlisting} Configure connection to database: \begin{lstlisting} cd /opt/artefact-server vim conf/arcsdeconnectionpool.properties # in conf/arcsdeconnectionpool.properties do: server=xyz.server.com username=guest credentials=XYZ port=5151 database=esri_sde \end{lstlisting} Configure address for finding the WMS-Server: \begin{lstlisting} cd /opt/artefact-server/ vim conf/conf.xml # adapt the address in the element # artifact-database/gnv/mapserver/server. This is # the string the server uses to provide an address of the mapserver to enduser. e.g. http://SERVER/cgi-bin/gnv-wrapper \end{lstlisting} The artifact server can export and import projects of the user's parameterizations. In order to protect the server against invalid files, configure a secret for signing artifacts. {\em Hint: If the secret is changed, all files that were created before are not valid anymore.} \begin{lstlisting} # generate a randomized string, e.g. cd /opt/artefact-server/ pwgen -s 30 # populate the tag artifact-database/export-secret \end{lstlisting} Adapt TCP-port of artefact-server, if the default has to be changed (default:8181): \begin{lstlisting} cd /opt/artefact-server vim conf/conf.xml # in conf/conf.xml edit the element artifact-database/rest-server/port \end{lstlisting} Integrate artifact-server in startup-process of operating system: \begin{lstlisting} cp -i /opt/artefact-server/bin/debian/artifact-server /etc/init.d/ chmod +x /etc/init.d/artifact-server update-rc.d artifact-server defaults \end{lstlisting} The server can be started and stopped via \begin{lstlisting} /etc/init.d/artifact-server {start | stop} \end{lstlisting} The installation of the artifact-server is finished. It can be tested now. \subsubsection*{Test of the Installation} \label{ref:artifact-server-testing} Start the server: \begin{lstlisting} /etc/init.d/artefact-server start \end{lstlisting} 1. Operating System: Check if the process of the server called "App" is running: \begin{lstlisting} jps # Example with list of java processes: 19252 19509 Jps 19441 App cat /var/run/artefact-server \end{lstlisting} Task: Compare the running process numbers. 2. Network: Check if the artefact-server opens a TCP-port (default: 8181) \begin{lstlisting} netstat -nltp # Check for an entry like: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8181 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 18648/java \end{lstlisting} 3. Artefact-Server ready for communication with client? \begin{lstlisting} wget -qO- http://localhost:8181/factories \end{lstlisting} Task: Check for a XML-document describing possible expert information systems (FIS) \subsubsection*{Deinstallation} Stop server process: /etc/init.d/artefact-server stop Remove integration in INIT-process: rm -fi /etc/init.d/artefact-server update-rc.d artefact-server remove Remove Binaries, Configuration, Caches, Artefact-Database: rm -rfi /opt/artefact-server rm -rfi /opt/artefact-server-\$VERSION Remove logging directories rm -rfi /var/log/artifacts
