Prerequisites

Steps to Install the Required Software

The following sections need to be reviewed and will need to be completed to get Zephyr Enterprise up and running.

  1. Install Java (if not already installed)
  2. Install MySQL (if a database server is not already configured and available)
  3. Configure MySQL recommended settings (see below)
  4. Install Elastic Search
  5. Install and configure Zephyr Enterprise
    1. Configure Elastic Search


Configuring MySQL

Configure MySQL with the following settings below and restart the MySQL server.

[mysqld]
user=mysql
max_allowed_packet = 150M
max_connections = 600
default-storage-engine=INNODB
character-set-server=utf8
collation-server=utf8_unicode_ci
sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES

[mysqld_safe]
default-storage-engine=INNODB
character-set-server=utf8
collation-server=utf8_unicode_ci

[mysql]
max_allowed_packet = 150M

[mysqldump]
quick
max_allowed_packet = 150M

Install Elastic Search

Step 1.) Download the .rpm file using either methods below:

  • Download using the linux shell command prompt
    • Run the following command: sudo rpm -ivh elasticsearch-5.5.0.rpm
  • Download using the wget command from the linux shell command prompt
    • You can download the rpm file here.

Step 2.) Navigate to the installation path (etc/elasticsearch) >> elasticsearch.yml file

Step 3.) Edit the elasticsearch.yml file

  • Change and update the following parameters:
cluster.name: zephyr
node.name: "Node1"
node.master: true
node.data: true

script.disable_dynamic: false
script.inline: true
script.indexed: true

index.number_of_shards: 2
index.number_of_replicas: 1

network.bind_host: (host IP)
network.publish_host: (host IP)
network.host: (host IP)
transport.tcp.port: 9300
http.port: 9200

discovery.zen.ping.timeout: 3s
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts: ["192.168.45.21"]


Step 4.) Save the file.

Step 5.) Start the service by utilizing the following command:

  • sudo systemctl start elasticsearch.service

Note: Elastic Search configuration is performed after the user installs Zephyr.

Install Zephyr Enterprise 6.1

Note: The user will be prompted to enter the Elastic Search server and port number as part of the installation process. Please ensure that the user has installed Elastic Search prior to installing Zephyr Enterprise.

Step 1.) Set the permissions.

  • The name of the setup file below may be different and may correspond more to your Zephyr Enterprise 6.1.
shell> chmod +x zephyr_(Build Number)_linux_setup.sh

Step 2.) Launch the setup file with the '-c' command line option as shown below.

Step 3.) You'll be prompted with a quick reminder on the Requirements needed to install and run Zephyr successfully on Linux.

Step 4.) You'll be prompted with the full EULA.

  • You must accept the terms presented before proceeding with the installation.
  • Simply enter "1" to accept and "2" to decline.

Step 5.) You'll then be prompted to enter where to place the Zephyr Enterprise home directory.

  • You'll also be notified of the required and available disk space as per the system requirements.

Step 6.) You'll then be prompted to enter the directory location of the license file that has been provided.

Step 7.) If you have any additional Zephyr plugins (Vortex, Cyclone, etc.) that you want to add, enter in the location of the license files for your Zephyr plugins.

  • If you have Zephyr already installed:
    • Stop the Zephyr service
    • Go to the zephyr installation directory
    • Copy the license file in license folder
    • Restart the Zephyr service

Step 8.) This step allows you to customize any of the ports utilized by Zephyr Enterprise.

  • The suggested ports are within the brackets.
  • You are able to change the port usage by entering your own custom port numbers for each step.

Step 9.) You'll then be prompted to select your Database.

  • For Zephyr Enterprise Server installation, MySQL is the default database option.
  • If you are interested in using another database, please contact your Zephyr Account Manager for further information.

Step 10.) This step allows you to customize the MySQL parameters.

  • Enter the URL for your MySQL Database.
  • Enter the directory location of the JDBC driver.

Step 11.) Once configured and customized, the files should now be copied and there will be various services that may start. Wait until the services are complete.

  • Once the additional services are complete, the installation process for Zephyr Enterprise 6.1 is complete.

Step 12.) You'll then be prompted to launch Zephyr Enterprise and you may launch Zephyr Desktop by entering "Y".

If you've already installed the Elastic Search, you must configure the Elastic Search to be able to use Zephyr Enterprise. Follow the following steps below to configure Elastic Search:


Configuring Elastic Search

TermDefinition
{zephyr_install_folder}The file location where your Zephyr is installed (Please refer to Step 5 above)

Step 12.1) Stop the Zephyr Enterprise service.

Step 12.2) Navigate to the JDBC properties file location

  • {zephyr_install_folder}/tomcat/webapps/flex/WEB-INF/classes/jdbc.properties

Step 12.3) Change the transport nodes in the properties to the following:

#transport|node
transport.nodes=(host IP):9300

Step 12.4) Save the changes made to the JDBC properties file.

Step 12.5) Restart the Zephyr Enterprise service.
