COSMOS Installation Guide

Installing and Running the COSMOS Demo and Prerequisites

The COSMOS Demo is a good place for adopters to explore what COSMOS has to offer in the way of functionality and facilities. The COSMOS Demo download provides the COSMOS UI and exemplar Data Managers that allow the adopter to query sample data from a variety of sources.
This section provides instructions for installing and running the demo program that is provided in the COSMOS build.
  1. Install the web server.
  2. Download the Axis2 Jar files. Please note the list of approved and required Axis2 JAR files for COSMOS.
  3. Download the BIRT project.
  4. Unzip the demo zip file downloaded from COSMOS Downloads to a directory. You will see a directory called cosmos-demo. This directory will be referred to as <cosmos-demo> in this document.
  5. If you are using the Aperi MDR, you will need to install and setup Aperi as follows :
    1. Download the Aperi Storage Resource Manager version 0.4.1 from Aperi downloads.
    2. Follow the instructions at Aperi installation instructions. You must choose Derby as your database.
    3. After successfully installing Aperi, you may wish to run some Aperi probes to populate your database with storage information (refer to the "Perform post-installation configuration" section of the installation instructions).
    4. Alternatively, you can use the sample Aperi database located at <cosmos-demo>\database\Aperi. To install the sample Aperi database, replace your <aperi-installation-folder>\db folder with the contents of the <cosmos-demo>\database\Aperi folder.
    5. Note that the Aperi MDR is preconfigured to access the default Aperi derby database (at localhost and port 1527). If you have chosen another location, you will need to modify the <web-server-dir>\webapps\axis2\WEB-INF\services\AperiMdr\META-INF\services.xml file to change the DERBY_HOST and DERBY_PORT parameters.
    6. Before using the Aperi MDR, start the Aperi derby database. For example: type start derby from the <Aperi install>\db directory.
