+
===Create Retain Database and Assign Rights and Permission to User===
−
Install with rpm:
+
−
*<code>rpm –ivh MySQL-client-5.6.33-1.sles11.x86_64.rpm</code>
+
−
*<code>rpm –ivh MySQL-server-5.6.33-1.sles11.x86_64.rpm</code>
+
  
−
====Changing the Data Directory for MySQL====
+
Create your database according to the documentation: Type in the follow commands one at a time.
−
By default the location of the MySQL data is going to go into the /var/lib/mysql directory. To change this, you need to modify the my.cnf file to point to the location where you want the database.  
+
  
−
Note: The location of the database files must have the ownership and group mysql. Be sure to change this accordingly <code>chown –r mysql:mysql /directory</code>
+
<code>Log into MySQL: </code>
 +
mysql -u root -p
  
−
An initial installation of MySQL should not have created the databases yet. Create a directory, if desired, where you want the MySQL database stored.
+
<code>Create the retain database by typing in: </code>
 +
CREATE DATABASE retain DEFAULT CHARACTER SET 'utf8' DEFAULT COLLATE 'utf8_bin';
  
−
Edit the my.cnf file (usually found in /etc/my.cnf or can also be in /usr/my.cnf).  
+
Create a new user by typing in:
 +
CREATE USER 'retainuser' @'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'P@ssw0rd';
 +
*For internal GWAVA test systems you may go ahead and use the ''root'' user for MySQL. For customers it is recommended to create a new user.  
  
−
Note: If you do not have the my.cnf file you can create one yourself in the /etc directory.
+
<code>Give the user the necessary right to the Retain database. After creating the database type in: </code>
−
 
+
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON retain.* TO '(UserName)'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '(P@ssw0rd)';
−
Look for the section [mysqld]. If you do not see it, or you have created your own my.cnf file, create the section by typing it in. Underneath this section, type: <code>datadir=/directory</code>. Save the file.
+
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON retain.* TO '(Username)'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '(P@ssw0rd)';
−
 
+
−
Once you start MySQL it will create the db logs and database (ibdata1) in this directory. If it fails, check the permissions on the directory, and make it recursive if needed.
+
−
 
+
−
Note: If you started MySQL after the initial installation, and the database files were created in the default /var/lib/mysql directory, then you will need to copy everything to your new directory to keep the scaffolding that was created when it was first loaded. Stop MySQL and then copy all of the files from the default location(/var/lib/mysql) to the new location. Double check the ownership and permissions. Edit the my.cnf to reflect the new data location.
+
−
 
+
−
Start MySQL. <code>service mysql start</code>
+
−
 
+
−
====Change Root Password in MySQL (Post-Installation) ====
+
−
After the installation, MySQL 5.6 will create a random password for the root user.
+
−
To access this password type: cd [ENTER]. This will take you back to the root directory.
+
−
Then type: cat .mysql_secret. This will display the random password.  You will need this to change the root password.
+
−
 
+
−
To change the root password follow these steps: [http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/default-privileges.html]
+
−
 
+
−
Start MySQL <code>rcmysql start</code>
+
−
 
+
−
Type: <code>mysql_secure_installation</code>
+
−
+
−
Enter in the password that you got from the .mysql_secret file.
+
−
 
+
−
When it asks to change the password say yes, and make the change.
+
−
 
+
−
Proceed through the rest of the prompts and say yes to all of them.
+
−
 
+
−
Log into MySQL by typing: <code>mysql –u root –p</code> and type in the new root password.
+
−
 
+
−
====Create a New User (Not Required) ====
+
−
You can use the root user and password for Retain. However, if you’d like to create a new user instead, follow these steps:
+
−
 
+
−
Log into MySQL: <code>mysql –u root –p </code> and enter in the password.
+
−
 
+
−
Type: <code>use MySQL</code>
+
−
 
+
−
Create a new user by typing in: <code>create user ‘retainuser’ @’localhost’ identified by ‘password’;</code>
+
−
 
+
−
====Create Retain Database and Assign Rights and Permission to User====
+
−
 
+
−
Create your database according to the documentation: Type in the follow commands one at a time.
+
−
 
+
−
<code>CREATE DATABASE retain DEFAULT CHARACTER SET 'utf8' DEFAULT COLLATE 'utf8_bin';</code>
+
−
 
+
−
Create a new user by typing in: create user ‘retainuser’ @’localhost’ identified by ‘password’;
+
−
 
+
−
<code>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON retain.* TO '(UserName)'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '(Password)';</code>
+
−
 
+
−
<code>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON retain.* TO '(Username)'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '(Password)';</code>
+
  
 +
<code>Example:</code>
 +
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON retain.* TO 'retain'@'%'  IDENTIFIED BY 'P@ssw0rd';
 +
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON retain.* TO 'retain'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'P@ssw0rd';

=====Change Log Location=====
 +
To change the location of the log files, simply create a symbolic link (somewhat synonymous with Windows shortcuts).  Retain, by default, gives you the option during installation to store the logs at /var/log/retain-tomcat7 or at /opt/beginfinite/retain/tomcat7.  If stored at /var/log/retain-tomcat7, then Retain creates a symbolic link at /opt/beginfinite/retain/tomcat7 directory called 'logs" that points to the /var/... location.
  
 +
# Create the directory in the location you wish to use
 +
# Stop tomcat
 +
# Move the current logs to the new location:  mv /var/log/retain-tomcat7/* /[path to new directory]
 +
# Make tomcat the owner of the new directory path:  chown -R tomcat:tomcat /[path to new directory]
 +
# Set the appropriate file *permissions for the tomcat user and group:  chmod -R 664 /[path to new directory]
 +
#* If you are moving them to a separate volume, the file permissions must be 774
 +
# Create a symbolic link in the parent directory of the default logs directory and point it to the new location:
 +
## Change to the /var/log directory
 +
## Remove the current log directory:  rm -r retain-tomcat7
 +
## Create a new symbolic link called retain-tomcat7 that points to your new log location:  ln -s [path to new directory] ./retain-tomcat7 (and press ENTER)
 +
# Set the new Start tomcat

[edit] Multiple Disks

Create multiple disks to follow Retain best practices. This is optional but recommended.

  1. Create the disks in the VM software
  2. Format the disks in the VM itself using YaST/Partitioner, these values should be large enough for a few million small messages
      • ARCHIVE (60-80GB)
      • INDEX (15-30GB)
      • LOGS (6-15GB)
      • DATABASE (20-40GB)

[edit] Prerequisites

[edit] Database

For Retain 4.x you need to manually download and install a database. Retain can use MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL server, PostGres or MariaDB. For training use MySQL because it's free.

[edit] Download MySQL

You can use MySQL 5.5, 5.6, or 5.7

[edit] MySQL 5.6

MySQL56_SLES11_Installation

[edit] MySQL 5.7

MySQL57_SLES12_Installation

[edit] Create Retain Database and Assign Rights and Permission to User

Create your database according to the documentation: Type in the follow commands one at a time.

Log into MySQL: 

mysql -u root -p

Create the retain database by typing in: 

CREATE DATABASE retain DEFAULT CHARACTER SET 'utf8' DEFAULT COLLATE 'utf8_bin';

Create a new user by typing in: 

CREATE USER 'retainuser' @'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'P@ssw0rd';
  • For internal GWAVA test systems you may go ahead and use the root user for MySQL. For customers it is recommended to create a new user.

Give the user the necessary right to the Retain database. After creating the database type in: 

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON retain.* TO '(UserName)'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '(P@ssw0rd)';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON retain.* TO '(Username)'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '(P@ssw0rd)';

Example: 

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON retain.* TO 'retain'@'%'  IDENTIFIED BY 'P@ssw0rd';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON retain.* TO 'retain'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'P@ssw0rd';

[edit] Webserver

All versions of Retain need a webserver installed, which tomcat will be installed onto.

[edit] Install HTTP Server

  1. Install http server (apache2) from YaST
  2. If connecting to Exchange:
    1. Set DNS to Exchange server, in YaST/Network Settings

The Retain installer will download Java and MySQL if you wish.

[edit] Install

[edit] Download Retain

  1. Create Retain download directory
      • md /software/retain[version] directory and change to it
    2. download the current version of Retain [1] or the beta.
  2. Unzip Retain
      • chmod +x *.sh

[edit] Install Retain

  1. ./RetainInstall.sh Retain 4 requires extensive resources the lab doesn't have, see your mentor about provisioning.
  2. Install typical modules:
    • Retain Server
    • Reporting & Monitoring
    • Worker
    • Skip Stubbing as very few customers use that functionality
    • Skip the Router as that should be installed on its own server in the network DMZ
  3. Setup database, using MySQL
    • give it the path from above
    • give mysql root user a password (remember this)
    • create a database (retain), username (retain) and password
  4. Take the defaults and finish the install

[edit] Post-install Tasks

[edit] MySQL JDBC driver install

If using MySQL:

The MySQL Connector/J driver must be provided to the Retain Server and/or the Reporting and Monitoring Server and/or the Stubbing Server.

  1. Download Connector/J 5.1.21 or higher [2]
  2. Extract Connector/J tar –xzvf mysql-connector-java-5.1.39.tar.gz
  3. Stop Tomcat [3]
  4. Copy the mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar file to
    • ...RetainServer/WEB-INF/lib (for Retain Server)

If the Reporting and Monitoring and Stubbing Servers are installed add the JDBC file into those as well.

    • ...RetainStatsServer/WEB-INF/lib (for the Reporting and Monitoring Server)
    • ...RetainStubbingServer/WEB-INF/lib (for the Stubbing Server)
  2. Change the ownership of the jar file to match the other files with chown tomcat:www mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar
  3. Change the permissions of the jar file to match the other files with chmod 755 mysql-connector-java-5.1.39-bin.jar
  4. Start Tomcat

[edit] Set Disk Permissions if using Multiple Data Volumes

  1. If using multiple disks:
    1. Stop tomcat rcretain-tomat7 stop
    2. Change ownership on INDEX and LOGS to chown -R tomcat:tomcat /[volume]
    3. Change permissions on INDEX and LOGS to chmod -R 774 /[volume]
    4. Change ownership on DATABASE to chown -R mysql:mysql /DATABASE
    5. Change permissions on DATABASE to chmod -R 774 /DATABASE
    6. Change ownership on ARCHIVE to chown -R tomcat:tomcat /ARCHIVE
    7. Change permissions on ARCHIVE to chmod -R 777 /ARCHIVE
    8. Start tomcat rcretain-tomcat7 start
[edit] Change Log Location

To change the location of the log files, simply create a symbolic link (somewhat synonymous with Windows shortcuts). Retain, by default, gives you the option during installation to store the logs at /var/log/retain-tomcat7 or at /opt/beginfinite/retain/tomcat7. If stored at /var/log/retain-tomcat7, then Retain creates a symbolic link at /opt/beginfinite/retain/tomcat7 directory called 'logs" that points to the /var/... location.

  1. Create the directory in the location you wish to use
  2. Stop tomcat
  3. Move the current logs to the new location: mv /var/log/retain-tomcat7/* /[path to new directory]
  4. Make tomcat the owner of the new directory path: chown -R tomcat:tomcat /[path to new directory]
  5. Set the appropriate file *permissions for the tomcat user and group: chmod -R 664 /[path to new directory]
    • If you are moving them to a separate volume, the file permissions must be 774
  6. Create a symbolic link in the parent directory of the default logs directory and point it to the new location:
    1. Change to the /var/log directory
    2. Remove the current log directory: rm -r retain-tomcat7
    3. Create a new symbolic link called retain-tomcat7 that points to your new log location: ln -s [path to new directory] ./retain-tomcat7 (and press ENTER)
  7. Set the new Start tomcat
