Dependencies

  • All of the tasks is required to be done in the same iteration, although they can be implemented and tested in parallel with other developments. This is discussed in section "Order of implementation".

Terminology

  • The term replica is introduced used for the old term bitarchive location. The reason for this rename is that location was confusingly giving association that it has to do with the physical location of for instance a bitarchive.
  • The term physical location is introduced used to underline where we in fact are refereing to a physical location.

Bugs

Bugs that will be addressed by this assignment:

Note that deploy has not been part of the NetarchiveSuite from the start, therefore this assignment covers a rewrite of deploy that is not directly covered by the current NetarchiveSuite bugs and feature request

Feature request that will be addressed by this assignment:

Basic idea behind new deploy

History of deploy

In the previous NetarchiveSuite there have already existed a deploy module. However this module had the following inconviniences:

  • It was tightly connected to the setup of the Danish intallation of NetarchiveSuite

  • It was based on a configuration file consisting of XML where the connection between configuration settings and NetarchiveSuite settings were far from obvious.

  • It was based on the assumption that all settings had to be specified in a settings file for NetarchiveSuite

Now since the assumption of specified in a settings file for NetarchiveSuite is no longer valid becuse of resent changes. The NetarchiveSuite has now been changed to have in-build default settings where only local overwrites of defaults has to be set for the individual applications.

Furthermore, resent analysis and assignment description (assignment B2) for the archive has revealed the most obvious connections to the setup of the Danish intallation of NetarchiveSuite. This is mainly based on the interpretation of Location, which have both meant "location of bitarchive to be used" and "physical location of this instance of this application". As part of the assignment B2 as well as part of this assignment is a change of naming of the old location settings into distinc terms of physical location and replica. This change will mean that the new deploy no longer needs to be connected to the Danish intallation of NetarchiveSuite.

Lastly, the definitions in the new configuration file will in the new deploy be named precisely the same way as settings for NetarchiveSuite in cases where there are a direct connection. Only few definitions will be for deploy only, and in these cases the definitions will follow the naming convention of being prefixed with "deploy_".

Override settings structure

The idea is that the new deploy will be based on the default settings in NetarchiveSuite. A configuration file is then used for specifications of where the different applications are placed and which settings overrides is needed for the applications.

The default settings can be overwritten at different levels in the configuration settings file. this is illustrated in the below figure:

Documentation

In existing documentation

Deployment/configuration manual must be made with reference to existing sections in Installation Manual, it must explain the following steps:

  • Preparation
    • make it-config file
    • get netarchivesuite zip file
    • get and adjust configuration files
  • deploy
    • how to
    • what is happening
  • installation
    • how to (including modifications)
    • what is happening (incl. makedir)
  • start and kill

Settings documentation should only consist in references to xml files in repository.

The documentation must also include explation of settings overwrite structure and special deploy configuration settings as done in section "Override settings structure" and section "New definition of IT-config".

New deploy documentation

The following documentation must be included as part of a new deploy/configuration manual:

The new deploy works in three steps:

  1. prepare folders for deployment
  2. Install folders on machines for all physical location
  3. Start all installed applications

Preparation of folders for deployment is illustrated in the below figure

(consider whether NetarchiveSuite zip file should be given as parameter here and be placed in install-dir) attachment:deploy_step1.gif

Installation of folders on machines for all physical location is illustrated in the below figure

(consider whether NetarchiveSuite zip file should be as parameter in previous step, and then be taken from install dir here)

attachment:deploy_step2.gif

Start all installed applications is illustrated in the below figure attachment:deploy_step3.gif

Changes in NetarchiveSuite apart from deploy

System state GUI

The current columns "Organisation" and "Port" must be replaced by

  • physicalLocation for "Location" (for all)
  • replica for "Replica" (for BitArchiveMonitors and BitArchives only)

  • http.port for "HTTP" (for GUIApplication and ViewerProxyApplication only)

  • harvesting.queuePriority (for HarvestControllerApplication only)

Final look must be agreed with users. An idea could be introduce a hiding mechanism at the same level and in the same way as the "Show all" functionality

In order to pass data to System state GUI, the data must be made available via the SingleMbeanObject.

Split of location concept

Today "location" covers both physical location and bitarchive replica. This must change in order to make deploy more general.

The following location related settings are changed:

  • locations -> replicas

  • location ->

    • replicaId (added replicaType & replicaName)

    • deployApplicationInstanceId (for BitarchiveMonitorApplications)

  • locations.batchLocation -> useReplicaId

  • thisLocation ->

    • archive.thisReplicaId for bitarchive & monitor (Channels)

    • thisPhysicalLocation for others (SingleMbeanObject)

    • useReplicaId for getFile/get in archive.tool, viewerproxy & arcrepository?! Used for getFile/get tool

Channel name definitions

Definition of channel names must rely on

  • thisReplica instead of thisLocation (only used for BitArchives and BitArchiveMonitors)

  • applicationInstanceId instead of http.port (only used for HarvestController and ViewerProxyApplication)

Note that this means that [https://gforge.statsbiblioteket.dk/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=291&group_id=7&atid=108 Feature Request 291: HarvestControllerServer uses http port to set unique THIS_HACO] automatically will be solved by this change.

Call of constrction of ChannelId is currently:

   constructName(String app, String locationName, boolean useNodeId, boolean useProcId)

Here

  • app is for example "ALL_BA" (should be renamed to a better name)
  • locationName is name of location, which in the future must be the replicaId, thus this parameter should be renamed to a better name.
  • useNodeId indicates whether IP (LocalIP) should be used (no changed except for a better name maybe)
  • useProcId indicates whether httpPortNumber should be used - here we wnat to use value of applicationInstanceId setting instead - and the parameter name must be changed accordingly.

Differentiate applications on instance id

The new deploy will differentiate instances of applications (on the same mascine) by a new setting applicationInstanceId. This eliminates dependencies which was introduced in the old deploy which used http.port number or thisLocation instead.

In other words the setting applicationInstanceId defines identification of a single application instance which e.g. is used in suffix for application specific scripts, suffix for directory to place files etc. This is needed in cases where there are more instances of the same application are placed on the same machine (e.g. BitarchiveMonitors)

The new setting will also replace port in definition of channels (see above).

Overview for where the applicationInstanceId is introduced:

  • Replacing use of port in channel names)
    • HarvestController

    • ViewerProxyApplication (may not be necessary if use of IP-address is enough and only 1 on each machine)

    • BitarchiveMonitorApplication

New definition of IT-config

As decribed in section "Override settings structure" (under "Basic idea behind new deploy") the idea is to have different levels of settings which can overwrite settings from higher levels. attachment:layers.gif

In the next subsection the new deploy settings, additional NetarchiveSuite settings and indirectly set NetarchiveSuite settings are explained.

In the last subsection an example of a new it-config file is given.

Notice for instance that installation directory is defined by deployInstallDir under each physical location defined by thisPhysicalLocation, and then only overwritten on the windows machines.

Another example is environmentName which is set to TEST under "deployGlobal", and stays that for the whole deplotment (which it should).

It also worthwhile to notice that there a specific configuration can be specified in more ways. For instance for defition of deployInstallDir's, we would have gained the same result if one of the physical location definitions had been moved to the global level, - though the configucration file would not be as readable.

New special deploy settings

  • <deployClassPath>

  • Defines a class path to be added for an application
  • Note: several additional class paths can be specified within a scope, but new definitions in inner scopes will overwrite outer scopes.
  • <deployGlobal>

  • Defines a deploy global 1. level scope where settings can be set to overwrite setting defaults from the NetarchiveSuite software.

  • <deployInstallDir>

  • Installation directory for a deployMachine
  • <deployJavaOpt>

  • Defines a jave option for an application.
  • Note: several additional jave options can be specified within a scope, but new definitions in inner scopes will overwrite outer scopes.
  • <deployMachine>

  • Defines a deploy machine 3. level scope where common settings for the machine and the applications running in the macine can be set. These settings will overwrite 1. and 2. level settings
  • <deployMachineUserName>

  • Defines the user name for a deployMachine

New settings

See also above in end of previous main section "Differentiate applications on instance id". The new settings is:

  • <applicationInstanceId>

  • Defines identification of a single application instance (e.g. suffix for application specific scripts, suffix for directory to place files etc.). This is needed in cases where there are more instances of the same application are placed on the same machine (e.g. BitarchiveMonitors) in case more instances of the same application are placed on the same machine

  • Will for instance replace port in definition of channels.

Settings indirectly set

Named tags that result in implicit setting og settings:

  • <thisPhysicalLocation name="PL"> in <deployGlobal> scope

  • sets settings.common.thisPhysicalLocation to PL
  • <applicationName name="AN"> in <physicalLocation> scope

  • sets settings.common.applicationName to AN
  • NOTE: that the applicationName is NOT USED today, it is automatically set at startup. However this is also one of the reasons that we cannot reload new setting for an application. Thus this new deploy will also help solving the reuoload issue at a later stage.

New it-config example

The below must replace the existing it-config-example file, and is an example of how the contents of a new it-config.xml file will look.

Rewrite deploy

Note that the newest version of the NetarchiveSuite code has eliminated use of the SideKick application. Therefore the special handling in starting and stopping this process is not necessary anymore.

Reuse deploy code from kb-doms (Royal Library Digital Object Managemnt System code):

  • Machine definition class (for different os)
  • Note that this also must include a internal rename of paths, e.g. if "passwordFile" is set to "conf/jmxremote.password", then the value for windows machines is "conf\jmxremote.password"
  • make hierarchy of objects at machine and application level

Reuse (and expand) SimpleXmlTree from the current NetarchiveSuite software.

parameter changes compares to old deploy:

  • jmxremote.password must be generated from scratch instead of reading a file
  • security.policy file must be given explicit as parameter
  • log.prop file must be given explicit as parameter
  • NetarchiveSuite-package (zip file) must be given explicit as a new parameter

  • Settings file is no longer needed as parameter
  • Environment is no longer needed as parameter, it is readen from setting environmentName

Use following design:

  • check input
  • read and set settings from global level
  • make physical location objects with from global level in it-config overwritten by specific physical location settings
  • for each physical location
    • read and set settings from physical location level
    • make machine objects specified for the location correspong to the mashine OS
    • for each machine
      • read and set settings from machine level
      • make application objects specified for the machine
      • for each application
        • read and set settings from applciation level
  • use methods on objects in hierarchy to produce various scripts

Remember to include following in the scripts generated:

When deployed is rewritten, the scripts for making multi-user test platform must also be updated. Note that it may be an advantage to put in special wordings like "../TESTDIR/.." in the it-test-config file and then replace these tags afterwards by scripting. Remember to uppercase "TESTDIR" specifications, since the difference in whether Linux and windows are case sensitive can give noise in cases where both lower and uppercase is used.

Order of implementation

  • Location impl. + test could with big advantage be implemented first
  • New deploy could be started as parallel activity, but will depend on
    • changes in location settings
    • (to some extend) introduction os applicationInstanceId setting
