Preparing for Installation

Before installing ActiveSpaces processes as Windows services, create folders to save the realm data and the logs. Create a TIBCO FTL configuration file and tibdg configuration scripts that can be later used to create the data grid.

Procedure
1. Create the following directories:

   mkdir C:\activespacesdata
   mkdir C:\activespacesdata\_default
   mkdir C:\activespacesdata\logs
   mkdir C:\activespacesdata\realm_data
   

   The logs from the TIBCO FTL servers and ActiveSpaces processes are stored in the logs directory. The realm data from the TIBCO FTL servers are stored in the realm_data directory. The ActiveSpaces grid data for a data grid named _default is stored in the _default directory.
2. Create a TIBCO FTL configuration file with the following content and save it to C:\activespacesdata\ftl.yaml.
   Note: TIBCO recommends that you run a separate TIBCO FTL server on each computer.

   globals:
     core.servers:
       ftl1: localhost:8085
       ftl2: localhost:8185
       ftl3: localhost:8285
   servers:
     ftl1:
     - realm:
         data: C:\activespacesdata\realm_data
         logfile: C:\activespacesdata\logs\ftl1-rs-log.txt
     ftl2:
     - realm:
         data: C:\activespacesdata\realm_data
         logfile: C:\activespacesdata\logs\ftl2-rs-log.txt
     ftl3:
     - realm:
         data: C:\activespacesdata\realm_data
         logfile: C:\activespacesdata\logs\ftl3-rs-log.txt
   services:
     realm: {}
   

3. Create a tibdg configuration script with the following content and save it to C:\activespacesdata\_default.tibdg.

   grid create copyset_size=2
   copyset create cs_01
   copyset create cs_02
   node create --copyset cs_01 --dir C:/activespacesdata/_default/cs_01.n_1_data cs_01.n_1
   node create --copyset cs_01 --dir C:/activespacesdata/_default/cs_01.n_2_data cs_01.n_2
   node create --copyset cs_02 --dir C:/activespacesdata/_default/cs_02.n_1_data cs_02.n_1
   node create --copyset cs_02 --dir C:/activespacesdata/_default/cs_02.n_2_data cs_02.n_2
   keeper create --dir C:/activespacesdata/_default/k_1_data k_1
   keeper create --dir C:/activespacesdata/_default/k_2_data k_2
   keeper create --dir C:/activespacesdata/_default/k_3_data k_3
   proxy create p_01
   proxy create p_02
   table create t1 key long
   column create t1 value string
   

   
   This configuration file is used later to create the data grid.
