Starting Up ATG Self Service

It is best to run the production SelfServiceDataWarehouse module in a separate JVM instance than your Self Service server. Depending on the volume of reporting data to be summarized, you may want to dedicate one instance to an application that contains only the SelfServiceDataWarehouse module.

It is also possible to configure the SelfServiceDataWarehouse module to work in the same JVM as your Self Service Server.

The last two steps in this procedure specify modules to include in the Web application you build. For guidance on assembling applications, see the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide for your application server.

To run the Self Service application in one JVM and run a Self Service application or service.common and Self Service DataWarehouse in another JVM:

1.Configure each server’s properties to use same the same database by modifying the FakeXADataSource.properties file.

2.Disable user sessions for the second server. Refer to the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide for further information. (Skip this step if you are configuring a service.common and Self Service Data Warehouse JVM.)

3.Configure the lock manager by configuring one or more of your servers to start the /atg/dynamo/service/ServerLockManager at application startup. Modify the <ATG9dir>/home/servers/svcadmin/localconfig/atg/dynamo/service/
Initial.properties file:

#server/12.3.4.500
#/localconfig/atg/dynamo/service/Initial.properties:
initialServices+=ServerLockManager

4.Configure the ClientLockManager component in the <ATG9dir>/home/servers/svcadmindw/localconfig/atg/dynamo/service/
ClientLockManager.properties file for both servers to use the ServerLockManager:

$class=atg.service.lockmanager.ClientLockManager
lockServerAddress=12.3.4.500
lockServerPort=9010
useLockServer=true

Refer to the ATG Repository Guide for additional information.

5.Assemble, deploy, and start a Self Service application that includes the Service.SelfService module as outlined in the ATG Service Installation and Configuration Guide

6.Assemble, deploy, and start a Self Service Data Warehouse application that includes the Service.SelfServiceDataWarehouse module as outlined in the ATG Service Installation and Configuration Guide.
