Mobile GRS Server
A system administrator must install the Mobile GRS Server on your QAD Enterprise Applications system so that Mobile GRS Applications can communicate with your system.
The Mobile GRS Server requires the GRS Approvals function. The GRS Approvals function is included with QAD Enterprise Applications – Enterprise Edition 2012 and above, but is only active with Active Maintenance licensing (see https://support.qad.com/license_keys/activemaintenance/).
The Mobile GRS Server is installed using the qexec utility, which is included with QAD Enterprise Applications – Enterprise Edition.
The installation consists of the following:
• Installation and compilation of Progress OpenEdge code.
• Creation of a new state-free OpenEdge AppServer.
• Creation of a web services adapter.
• Deployment of the web services adapter.
• Addition of the -force option to the Tomcat shutdown script.
Installation Steps
Warning This installation process includes automatically stopping and restarting the OpenEdge AdminServer. This will impact any running ApplicationServers and other OpenEdge processes that use this AdminServer. Because of this, it is strongly recommended that this installation is run during a scheduled downtime. Any ApplicationServers that are stopped by the AdminServer shutdown will not be automatically restarted and so should be restarted once the installation is complete.
Use the following sequence of tasks to install:
1 Verify Java 1.6 is in your $PATH and appears before any other Java versions:
$echo $PATH
For example:
$/dr01/java/jdk1.6.0_21/bin:/dr01/scripts:/progress/dlc/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/dr01/tomcat/8080/bin:/progress/dlc:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_22/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/progress/dlc/bin:/home/demo-admin/bin
2 Navigate to the qexec folder in your QDT installation.
For example:
/dr01/qadapps/qdt/qexec
3 Run the qexec utility providing the path to your QAD Mobile GRS bundle.
For example:
./qexec /dr01/qadapps/mobile-module-grs-1.0.0.11.zip
4 The qexec utility will guide you through the installation process:
a Confirm the location of your QDT installation and the environment.
b Provide the port number for the new state-free Application Server.
5 The installation runs to completion.
Post-installation Steps
1 Review the qexec.log file for any issues reported.
2 Review the newly setup qadwsa_as Application Server and confirm all configuration settings are correct.
3 Any environment startup and shutdown scripts should be modified to include the new qadwsa_as Application Server.
4 The permissions on the Tomcat shutdown script may have been changed during the installation. This should be reviewed and permissions updated if required.
