Select the release tar file suitable for your OS:
debRelease.tar is suitable for Debian like systems (Debian, Ubuntu, ElementaryOS, etc.)
rpmRelease.tar is suitable for RedHat like systems (RedHat, Fedora, CentOS, etc.)
The debRelease/rpmRelease TAR file contains the following files/directories:
wars
directory
debs / rpms
directory (depending on which archive you choose)
install.sh
file
In install.sh
you can set four parameters, as follows:
LICENCE_FILE the location of license.cxl
file
CONTAINER_HOME the home folder of the servlet container (usually /usr/share/tomcat8
for Tomcat 8 )
WEBAPPS_FOLDER the folder of web applications ( usually /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/
for Tomcat 7 on Ubuntu and /usr/share/tomcat8/webapps
for Tomcat 8 on CentOS )
WEBAPP_RUNNER_USER the name of the user that will run the servlet container
You have to set these parameters according to your system settings, and then run the install script with root privileges. This script will do the following steps:
Installs the packages in debs / rpms
: copies the jar files into your/var/lib/chemaxon/cc/app-config
folder (for app-config
) and to /var/lib/cc-eureka
(forcc-eureka
), and creates links in your /etc/init.d/
folder for them. These jars require Java 8 to run.
Copies the war files from wars
directory to the web applications root folder.
Creates the .chemaxon
folder in the home for the container running user, and copies the licence file into it.
Config Server is a service of Compliance Checker to populate your settings to other servers (cc-web, cc-bigdata and cc-backend). On startup, all of these services require the config server to load their settings from it. Config server can update some settings during runtime, but others need to be updated by restarting the servers.
After installing Config server as a system service you should have a /var/lib/chemaxon/cc/app-config
folder. To be able to customize the application, you have to create here a config
sub-directory including an application.properties
file in it. Any property changed in the /var/lib/chemaxon/cc/app-config/config/application.properties
file will affect the appropriate services. Config server by default is deployed to the8888
port. If youPOST
a request (body is not needed) to the server's /refresh/all
endpoint it will refresh all services with the new settings.
This can be done with curl like this:
curl -X POST --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Accept: */*" "http://localhost:8888/refresh/all"
The default settings you can change in application.properties
are as follows (in this format # stands for comment):
# Security provider chooses what settings to use for user authentication
# IN_MEMORY small number of predefined user, only for testing purposes.
# ANONYMOUS no login required.
# LDAP uses LDAP server to log in users
# ACTIVE_DIRECTORY Uses Microsoft's Active Direcotry service for authentication
securityProviderName = IN_MEMORY
# This forces to use HTTPS connections.
securityProviderSecure = false
# If this is true, SSL certificate of services is not checked.
securityProviderAllowUnsignedCert = true
# If you leave this empty, all IP is accepted to connect.
securityProviderAllowedIp =
# or PASSIVE.
queueingStrategy = ACTIVE
# measured in milliseconds.
deadJobTreshold = 120000
# change this to SEQUENTIAL and only one checker thread will be used.
executionStrategy = PARALLEL
The database connection settings can also be set in application.properties
; the following settings are the defaults:
# Number of molecules checked in one run.
chunkSize = 10
# Host of MongoDB.
databaseHost = 127.0.0.1
# Port of MongoDB.
databasePort = 27017
# Name of database in MongoDB.
databaseName = test
# Name of the user who connects the database.
mongoUser = cxnMongo
# Name of the user who connects the database.
mongoPassword = ccMongoPass
# Set this property to true in case you are using Transport Encryption in your database. https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.0/core/security-transport-encryption/
mongoEncryptConnection = false
Creating user in MongoDB
db.createUser(
{
user:"cxnMongo",
pwd:"ccMongoPass",
customData:
{
data:"anydata"
},
roles : [
{
role: "clusterAdmin",
db: "admin"
},
{
role: "readAnyDatabase",
db: "admin"
},
"readWrite"
]
}
)
You can install multiple instances of Eureka , but there should be only one Config server in the system. If you distribute the system you should set the following settings to the services:
Config server is the route of the hierarchy. It should register with Eureka service. If Eureka does not run in localhost:8761
(8761
is the default Eureka port) then you have to set the following property in /var/lib/chemaxon/cc/app-config/config/application.properties
:
eureka.client.serviceUrl.defaultZone=http\://<eureka-hostname>\:<eureka-port>/eureka/
If Eureka runs locally for the Config Server , but it is a remote service for the other services , then you should set the above property with an address that is available for all services, because this setting will be populated to all services.
Eureka server is used by all the services. It uses the Config Server to init itself. If the Config Server does not run in localhost:8888
(8888
is the default Config Server port), then you can have to the following property in /var/lib/chemaxon/cc/eureka/config/bootstrap.properties
:
spring.cloud.config.uri=http\://<config-server-host>\:<config-server-port>/
The main components of the application come in 3 war
files: cc-backend.war, cc-bigdata.war, cc-web.war. You have to install these services to Servlet 3.0 compatible servlet container.
Every war
file uses the Config Server to init itself. If the Config Server does not run in localhost:8888
, then you have to set for the war files where to look for the Config Server. One opportunity is to set the CONFIG_SERVER_URI environment variable, or to edit the WEB_INF/classes/bootstrap.properties
file of each war
file.
Setting environment variable
export CONFIG_SERVER_URI = http://<config-server-host>:<config-server-port>/
editing to bootstrap.properties file
spring.cloud.config.uri=http\://<config-server-host>\:<config-server-port>/
This property will be used in startup time to connect to the Config Server and receive all the properties to use in initialization.
This product is shipped with MarvinJS as a chemical editor. For full MarvinJS functionalities you should install JChem Web Services as webservices2.war
to the same server as cc-web.war
. To set the license for MarvinJS, please read the " For MarvinJS useres (wihouth JChem Webservices ) section of the "CONFIDENTIAL_-_Setup_Marvin_JS_license.pdf
" (attached).
