2010-06-30 - Installing Glassfish add-ons (EricKramer)

To enable suppot for the OSGi container model, I performed the following activities:

• Logged in to the Glassfish admin console at http://resricdev02:4848
• Accessed software add-ins via: Common Tasks | Update Center | Available Add-Ons
• Selected the following add-on modules for installation:
  • glassfish-osgi-http - OSGi HTTP Service
  • glassfish-osgi-admin-console - OSGi Admin Console
• Restarted Glassfish

2010-10-07 - Deployment of RIC Print Service (EricKramer)

Install preparation

• Installed .NET framework version 4 from web installer (downloaded to C:\RIC-Install)
• Created an IIS application pool (with default settings) called PrintServiceAppPool
• Created a c:\temp directory (so that the "local" environments would work for testing)
• Granted the NETWORK SERVICE account (used by the PrintServiceAppPool) Full Control access to C:\temp
• If a previous version has been installed, save a copy of the destination configuration file: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\PrintService\DestinationConfig.json.config
• (Optionally) remove any previous version of PrintService via Windows Add/Remove Programs

Running the PrintService installer

• Snapshot of installer located in C:\RIC-Install\PrintService\Deployment-2010-10-06-01
• Used default settings except for specifying use of the dedicated PrintServiceAppPool (instead of the default pool)

Post-Install Configuration

• Adjust/replace/restore/etc. the destination configuration file: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\PrintService\DestinationConfig.json.config
• Granted the NETWORK SERVICE account (used by the PrintServiceAppPool) Full Control access to the following:
  • Folder: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\PrintService\Logs
  • Config File: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\PrintService\DestinationConfig.json.config (this step may be unnecessary)
• On ServerRESRICFS01? , granted the RESRICDEV02 domain user Full Control of the C:\monitoring-printing folder (and thus subfolders)

Installation Verification

• Pulled up WSDL via local browser at: http://localhost/PrintService/PrintService.svc?wsdl
• Pulled up WSDL via remote browser at: http://resricdev02/PrintService/PrintService.svc?wsdl
• Used Printing.Client to send sample content with command line: Printing.Client.exe http://resricdev02/PrintService/PrintService.svc/soap srs local token123 "Hello, world!"
• Used Printing.Client to send sample content with command line: Printing.Client.exe http://resricdev02/PrintService/PrintService.svc/soap srs dev (see KeePass for dev token) "Hello, world!"
• Reviewed C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\PrintService\Logs\webapp.log for errors

2010-10-20 - Adjusting Glassfish container memory usage

We have found the app server performance to be a bit slow/sluggish. Reviewing the configuration we noted that the maximum heap size was configured (likely by default) for 512 Mb. We decided to raise this to 1024 Mb.

• Opened Glassfish console at http://resricdev02:4848
• Accessed JVM options at: Configuration | JVM Settings | JVM Options
• Changed the -Xmx setting from "-Xmx512m" to "-Xmx1024m"
• Restarted Glassfish service remotely:
  • sc \\resricdev02 query domain1
  • sc \\resricdev02 stop domain1
  • sc \\resricdev02 query domain1
  • sc \\resricdev02 start domain1
  • sc \\resricdev02 query domain1
