ZE-Consumer Deployment

Starting October 11, 2024 (Zephyr Enterprise 8.2), the Zephyr Enterprise documentation moved from its current location on Atlassian to a dedicated, standalone Zephyr Enterprise documentation page. Please see: ZE-Consumer Deployment | Zephyr Enterprise Documentation

1 Prerequisite
2 Consumer Service Deployment (Jar)
- 2.1 MySQL
- 2.2 MSSQL
- 2.3 Oracle
3 Consumer Service Deployment (Docker): -
- 3.1 MySQL
- 3.2 MSSQL
- 3.3 Oracle
4 Post Deployment verification on RabbitMq

Prerequisite

Install Oracle Java 17.0.10.
Ensure your Zephyr RabbitMQ and ze-jira-webhook. application is set up and running, For RabbitMQ Setup follow the instructions on the following page: https://smartbear.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PD/pages/3852992664
From the application browser, do the following:
- Launch Zephyr with your respective host/domain. Ex: https://test.yourzephyr.com
- Launch RabbitMQ with the host and configured port. Ex: http://localhost:15672]
Launch RabbitMQ Management in the browser with the host and port (Ex: http://localhost:15672).

Consumer Service Deployment (Jar)

Create a directory under folder opt “zephyrservice”

mkdir zephyrservice

Download the ze-rabbitmq-consumer.jar and copy it under zephyrservice
Create a ze-rabbitmq-consumer config file Named “zeRabbitMQConsumer.properties" under folder zephyrservice

vi zeRabbitMQConsumer.properties

Add the below line to the file:

#Consumer Service port
server.port=8082

# Rabbitmq config
zephyr.queue.name=ze_queue
zephyr.queue.exchange=ze_exchange
zephyr.queue.routing.key=ze_routing_key
spring.rabbitmq.listener.simple.prefetch=1

spring.rabbitmq.host=<rabbitmq_hostname>
spring.rabbitmq.port=<rabbitmq_port>
spring.rabbitmq.username=<rabbitmq_username>
spring.rabbitmq.password=<rabbitmq_password>

# Audit service configurations
audit.service.baseUrl=http://localhost:8083

# Zephyr service configurations
zephyr.service.baseUrl=http://localhost:8080

# webhook service url 
zephyr.rabbitmq.webhook.baseUrl=http://localhost:8081/webhook

# Jira retry callback configurations
# BackOffDelay allows dynamic calculation of the delay between retry attempts 
zephyr.jiracall.retry.backOffDelay=500
# multiplier allows dynamic calculation of the multiplier factor for exponential backoff
zephyr.jiracall.retry.multiplier=2
# maxAttempts specifies the maximum number of retry attempts for the jira call.
zephyr.jiracall.retry.maxAttempts=1

Append the below database-specific properties based on the Zephyr database you are using.

MsSQL:

MySQL:

Oracle:

Your sample zeRabbitMQConsumer.properties should look like Below:

MySQL

MSSQL

Oracle

Make sure port 8082 is available.
zeRabbitMQConsumer should be able to connect with RabbitMQ.
zeRabbitMQConsumer should be able to connect to the Database of Zephyr.

Run the following command to start the ze-rabbitmq-consumer:

Example command for mysql:

Consumer started snapshot for reference: -

Verification in the browser:

Verify webhook application status by using http://<hostname>:8082/actuator/health.

Note: -

The Logs folder will be created where your jars are deployed. Separate log files will be created for each jar.
--- at the start and end of the DB configuration is necessary. Follow the same mentioned.

Consumer Service Deployment (Docker): -

Install Docker in the System
Create a directory under folder opt “zephyrservice”

Download the Docker compose and copy it under zephyrservice

Create a ze-rabbitmq-consumer config file Named “zeRabbitMQConsumer.properties" under folder zephyrservice
