This document describes the process of installing ServiceMobility on a new, clean, system.

Setup Notes

General

Prior to installing ServiceMobility please ensure that all prerequisites have been met.

See: ServiceMobility Hardware and Software Requirements document

Linux Setup Notes

If installing on a Linux OS, you must be logged in as the user that the background services will eventually be running under. This ensures that files created during the setup process will have the correct permissions when running as a background service.

Verify Java JDK is Installed

It is important to make sure the Java JDK and not just the standard JRE is installed.

You can verify the JDK is installed by running the following command:

javac -version

The Java version must be 1.8.0_45 or later.

Extract the ServiceMobility zip file contents

Linux Zip Extract Instructions

It is assumed that you are logged into the system as the user which the background services will be running as.

Unzip ServiceMobility.zip contents into home directory of the user that background service will be running as
```
cd ~
unzip ServiceMobility.zip
```

Microsoft Windows Zip Extract Instructions

Notes

There is an issue with the default Microsoft Windows unzip not supporting long directory trees in zip files. Therefore, you must use the 7z.exe unzip utility that has been provided with the ServiceMobility distribution.
It is recommended that ServiceMobility be installed on separate drive from the OS. Therefore this guide assumes that ServiceMobility will be installed on D:

Unzip ServiceMobility
```
D:
cd \
tools\7z x ServiceMobility.zip
```

Create ServiceMobility Database

Create a new SQL Server database named ServiceMobility
Create a SQL logon used to access the ServiceMobility database
1. This logon information will be required later in the setup process
Execute the following scripts on the ServiceMobility database
1. sql/ServiceMobility-SoR.sql to create the initial database structure
2. sql/SeedData.sql to initialize the database with default values
3. sql/SeedData-Templates.sql to initialize the databases default templates

Create an Entity in the ServiceMobility Database

Edit sql/USA.sql file and update the @EntityName variable with the desired entity name. Spaces are not allowed.
Execute the sql/USA.sql script on the ServiceMobility database to create the new entity
This new entity will have default logon of admin@EntityName (where EntityName is the value entered in step 1) with a default password of Password1!

Execute the Setup Script

The setup script will assists with collecting specific parameters and updating the appropriate configuration files. The setup script can be executed multiple times to change any setting at a later time.

Start the setup script

Linux

cd ~/ServiceMobility
node/linux64/bin/node middlewares/up_auth/bin/setup.js

Windows

D:
cd \ServiceMobility
node/win64/node middlewares/up_auth/bin/setup.js

Once started, the script will first verify required directory and files exist
1. If any errors are reported
  - Verify the ServiceMobility zip was extracted to the proper (specified) location
  - Verify you are running the setup script from the proper directory
  - Verify the currently logged user has access to the reported directory or file
Enter SQL Server properties
1. After entering all of the properties the script will verify connectivity to SQL Server
  1. If the Script reports an Invalid Logon
  - - Validate the ServiceMobility database has been created
    - Validate the entered credentials have proper access to the ServiceMobility database
    - Validate firewall settings to ensure the server has access to SQL Server over the entered port
  1. If the setup script reports an ETIMEOUT error
    - Validate the entered Server name
      - Try and ping the server
    - Validate the port number
      - Try and telnet to the server with the specified port
    - Validate firewall settings to ensure the server has access to SQL Server over the entered port
  2. If any error is reported you will have to option to re-enter the SQL Server properties or continue
Enter SMTP Settings (optional but recommended)
- ServiceMobility uses email to send alerts to administrators when there is a system error, sending Customer's PDF invoices, password reset notifications, etc.
Amazon S3 Settings
- Amazon S3 settings must be specified if you are planning to use the ServiceMobility photo capture functionality
ActiveMQ Settings
- For larger systems ActiveMQ and ESB can be installed on different servers. This setting identifies where the ActiveMQ server is located.
ServiceScheduling Settings
- If ServiceMobility is integrated with ServiceScheduling then these settings are required.
Linux only - Enter the user the ServiceMobility service should be run as.

After all of the properties have been entered the script will:

Save a copy of the entered settings in ServiceMobility-opts.json
Update all of the appropriate configuration files
Exit

Configure JBoss Fuse ESB

Start ESB Karaf Console

cd ~/ServiceMobility/jboss-fuse/bin
karaf

Execute the following Karaf console commands

karaf@root> features:install wrapper
karaf@root> wrapper:install -s AUTO_START -n KARAF -d Karaf -D "Karaf Service"
karaf@root> features:uninstall mq-fabric
karaf@root> shutdown

The shutdown process make a minute or two - be patient.

Update the ESB Karaf configuration file
1. Edit ~/ServiceMobility/jboss-fuse/etc/KARAF-wrapper.conf
```
nano ~/ServiceMobility/jboss-fuse/etc/KARAF-wrapper.conf
```
2. Locate the wrapper.java.maxmemory settings and set it to 2048
```
# Maximum Java Heap Size (in MB)
wrapper.java.maxmemory=2048
```

Install ESB as a Service

The following section provides instructions on how to install the JBoss FUSE ESB as a service on either Linux or Microsoft Windows.

Linux Specific Instructions

Edit ~/ServiceMobility/jboss-fuse/bin/Karaf-service
Locate the RUN_AS_USER parameter and set it to the user the service should be run as

Execute the following shell commands

cd ~/ServiceMobility/jboss-fuse/bin
sudo ln -s $PWD/KARAF-service /etc/init.d/KARAF-service
sudo chkconfig KARAF-service --add
sudo chkconfig KARAF-service on

Start the ESB Service
```
service KARAF-service start
```
Stopping the ESB Service ( do not execute at this time)
```
service KARAF-service stop
```

Microsoft Windows Specific Instructions

Execute the following command line statements

D:
cd \ServiceMobility\jboss-fuse\bin
KARAF-service.bat install
net start "KARAF"

Install ActiveMQ as a Service

Linux Specific Instructions

Execute the following commands

cd ~/ServiceMobility/jboss-a-mq/bin
sudo ln -s $PWD/env /etc/default/activemq
sudo ln -s $PWD/activemq /etc/init.d/activemq
sudo chkconfig --add activemq
sudo chkconfig activemq on

Start the ActiveMQ service
```
service activemq start
```
Stopping the ActiveMQ Service can be accomplished with the following command ( do not run it at this time).
```
service activemq stop
```

Notes

Startup settings, including memory options are configured in /etc/default/activemq

Microsoft Windows Specific Instructions

Install ActiveMQ as a Windows Service

D:
cd \ServiceMobility\jboss-a-mq\bin\win64
InstallService.bat install

Start the ActiveMQ Service
```
net start "activemq"
```
The ActiveMQ Service can be stopped with the following command ( do not run it at this time)
```
net stop "activemq"
```

Linux Only - Configure Local TCP Forwarding Rules

For security reasons, Linux servers restrict binding to TCP ports below 1024 to services running as the root user. Running services as root it not a recommended practice. Therefore, to get around what appears to be a catch-22 problem is to simply create local port forwarding rules.

Node.js is expecting HTTP traffic on internal TCP port 3001 and secure HTTPS traffic on internal TCP port 3000. The following steps will guide you through setting up the TCP port forwarding rules.

Edit /etc/rc.local
```
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
```

Add the following lines to the end of the file

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3000
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80  -j REDIRECT --to-port 3001

Save

Install Node.js as a Service

Linux Specific Instructions

Execute the following shell commands

# /etc/init/env.conf
 env NODE_ENV=production

Microsoft Windows Specific Instructions

Execute the following command line statements

D:
cd \ServiceMobility\middlewares\up_auth
