Combined Java/WildFly/Expere installation procedure

This topic explains how to install the combined Java/WildFly/Expere installer.

Note: Installation default locations cannot currently be changed.
  1. Before beginning the installation process, review the Transforms.xml file.
    1. Comments were added to assist with what can be configured through that file.
    2. Check the ERLCONTENTREPOSITORY property and either place the built Expere content in the folder defined or change that location.
      Tip: Build the content as was done before loading to the database, but do not load the content to a database.
  2. Generate the install by executing the following from a command line:
    • MsiTransform.exe expere.msi Transforms.xml
    An Installs folder is created containing the installer for Java/WildFly/Expere.
    • By default the log4j2.xml file will place the Expere log files at C:\ProgramData\WKFS\DGS.
      Note: At this time the only way to change that is to update log4j2.xml after the install has been run.
    • Java/WildFly/Expere are installed to: C:\Program Files\WKFS\Expere
      • The Expere .EAR file is present at C:\Program Files\WKFS\Expere\wildfly-30.0.1.Final\standalone\deployments\ExpereServices-23.4.0.5403.ear.
      • A local Windows service named "Wildfly" is created.
      • The bsi.properties, ehcache.xml and log4j2.xml files can be located at C:\Program Files\WKFS\Expere\wildfly-30.0.1.Final\standalone\deployments\ExpereServices-23.4.0.5403.ear\lib\config.
  3. The installation process occurs silenty; to verify the installation was successful, verify the following:
    • Verify a service called "Wildfly" was created and is running. To verify: go to C:\Program Files\WKFS\Expere\wildfly-30.0.1.Final\standalone\deployments and verify a C:\Program Files\WKFS\Expere\wildfly-30.0.1.Final\standalone\deployments\ExpereServices-23.4.0.5403.ear.deployed file is present.
      Note: if a C:\Program Files\WKFS\Expere\wildfly-30.0.1.Final\standalone\deployments\ExpereServices-23.4.0.5403.ear.failed file is present, check the contents of that file to see information on why the deployment failed.
The Expere URL will be http://localhost:8080/Common/WSEndpoint.
Note: By default Expere will only be available on localhost, as shown above. If you need to access Expere remotely, edit C:\Program Files\WKFS\Expere\wildfly-30.0.1.Final\standalone\configuration\standalone.xml and change jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1 to jboss.bind.address:0.0.0.0.
