Installing Using the Plug-in

To install using the plug-in, perform the following steps:

    Procedure

  1. Download the product - TIB_psc-ebx_plugin_ver.zip and unzip the archive file. For example, if the product is unarchived at /home then the directory structure is /home/psc-ebx/1.2. The /home/psc-ebx/1.2 directory location is called as EBX_HOME and PSC_HOME.

  2. Configure the PostgreSQL database. For more information, see Configuring the PostgreSQL Database.

  3. Configure TIBCO EMS. This is required if the records have to be published on the JMS topics. For more information, see Setting Up TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™.

  4. Configure the Tomcat Application Server. For more information, see Configuring the Tomcat Application Server.

  5. Update the artifactsFolder and copy the EnvironmentFolder value in $PSC_HOME/dev-artifacts.properties. The value of artifactsFolder is absolute. It must point to the $PSC_HOME/data/artifacts directory. The value of copyEnvironmentFolder must be relative to the Tomcat bin directory. This must point to the copyEnv directory which is present in psc-mdm.war file. So the relative path is /webapps/psc-mdm/copyEnv.

  6. Update the addonDamaDrivePathPrefix in dev-artifacts.properties file inside $PSC_HOME. For example, addonDamaDrivePathPrefix=C:/EBX_Installations/PSC_EBX_Installations/PSC_EBX_ver._buildnumber/psc-ebx/ver/common/images.

  7. Start the Tomcat Application Server and follow the process for Configuring TIBCO Product and Service Catalog powered by EBX.
