Install Workspace Web Edition & Web Services

Perform the following procedures to configure and install the Workspace Web Edition & Web Services application.

Configuring the Application

Use either Configuration Manager or Genesys Administrator for this procedure:

Configuring the Application in Configuration Manager

Workspace Web Edition & Web Services uses two application objects in the Genesys configuration environment. A cluster application of type Genesys Generic Server, and a second application of type Genesys Generic Client. Together, these two applications provide Workspace Web Edition & Web Services with access to the configuration required for operation.

Tip
Users, DNs, Places, and Skills are loaded from the Configuration Layer.

The following sections provide details on creating and configuring the Workspace Web Edition & Web Services application pair.

Importing the Application Templates

Start of Procedure

DevGuide2.png Purpose: Import the templates for the Workspace Web Edition & Web Services Applications. If the Cloud and CloudCluster application templates already exist, skip these steps.

  1. To create the Cloud template, right-click in the main content area in Configuration Manager and select New > Application Template.
  2. Configure the General tab of the template as shown below:
    • Name: Cloud
    • Type: Genesys Generic Client
    • Version: 8.5
    • State Enabled: Yes
  3. Click OK.
  4. To import the Cluster template, right-click in the main content area in Configuration Manager and select Import > Application Template.
  5. Naviate to the //templates folder on the installation CD.
  6. Select the Workspace_Web_Edition_Web_Services_850 template file.
  7. Click OK.


End of Procedure
Next Steps

  • Create the Cluster Application
  • Create the Cloud Application

Creating the Cluster Application

Start of Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Applications folder in Configuration Manager. Right-click and select New > Application.
  2. Select the Workspace_Web_Edition_Web_Services_850 template and click OK.
  3. Configure the General tab as shown below:
    • Name: Workspace_Web_Edition_Web_Services_850
    • Template: Genesys Generic Server
    • Component Type: [Unknown]
    • State Enabled: Yes
  4. On the Tenants tab do the following action:
    1. Click Add.
    2. Chose the "Environment" tenant.
    3. Click OK.
  5. On the Server Info tab, choose the appropriate Host object. This automatically adds a corresponding port entry. The port value is ignored by the server and does not need to be modified.
  6. On the Start Info tab, add a “.” to the Working Directory, Command Line, and Command Line Arguments fields. These values are mandatory for all applications and must be entered to save the application object. Workspace Web Edition & Web Services does not use these values, so the “.” is used as a placeholder.
  7. On the Connections tab, add the following connections:
    • T-Server
    • Stat Server
    • Configuration Server
    8. Important
    Additional connections to Interaction Server and UCS may be configured if you are using eServices in your deployment. However, if you add a connection to Interaction Server or to UCS, you must add a connection to the other. You must connect both or connect neither.
  8. Click OK to save the Cluster application.


End of Procedure

Next Steps

  • Create the Cloud Application

Creating the Cloud Application

Important
You must create one Cloud application for EACH node. Each Cloud application must be configured identically.

Start of Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Applications folder in Configuration Manager. Right-click and select New > Application.
  2. Select the "Cloud" template and click OK.
  3. Configure the General tab as shown below:
    • Name: Cloud
    • Template: Cloud
    • State Enabled: Yes
  4. On the Connections tab, add the following connections:
    • Cluster application that was configured in the previous procedure.
  5. Click OK to save the Cloud application.

Initializing the Cassandra Schema

Start of Procedure

  1. Copy the cf-schema.txt and ks-schema-prod_HA.txt (or ks-schema-local.txt for a single node Cassandra configuration) from [install_dir]/data to the cassandra node host.
  2. Make the following modifications to the file:
    1. Align the datacenter name with that of the Cassandra cluster. You can use nodetool to find the name of the datacenter by examining the output of "nodetool ring" (the tool is located in the bin directory of Cassandra) to find the name of the datacenter). The following is sample output from the nodetool:
      2. ubuntu@hpe-voicevm-84:/genesys/apache-cassandra-1.1.6/bin$ ./nodetool ring
Note: Ownership information does not include topology, please specify a keyspace.
Address         DC          Rack        Status State   Load            Owns                Token
10.10.15.84     datacenter1 rack1       Up     Normal  14.97 MB        100.00%             0
ubuntu@hpe-voicevm-84:/genesys/apache-cassandra-1.1.6/bin$
    2. Edit the contents to adjust the number of datacenter entries.
    3. Edit the contents to adjust the replication factors. (Refer to external documentation on the DataStax website that provide more details for information about how to choose the correct values).
  3. Clean the data, commitlog, and saved_caches folders prior to starting the Cassandra cluster.
  4. Run the following commands:
    5. [cassandra install dir]/bin/cassandra-cli  -h [cassandra host] --file ks-schema-prod_HA.txt
[cassandra install dir]/bin/cassandra-cli  -h [cassandra host] --file cf-schema.txt


End of Procedure
Next Steps

Deploying the Web Application

Start of Procedure

  1. Stop Jetty.
  2. Copy the jetty.xml file from [build_path]/jetty to $JETTY_HOME/etc.
  3. Copy the cloud-web.xml file from [build_path]/jetty to $JETTY_HOME/contexts.
  4. Copy the logback.xml file from [build_path]/jetty to $JETTY_HOME/resources.
  5. Copy the cloud-web.war file from [build_path]/webapp to $JETTY_HOME/webapps.
