Upgrade GlobalModelExchange Service

Step 1: Prepare Host.

The caGrid 1.4 Training grid host was installed and configured according to the specifications listed on caGrid 1.4 Host Configuration page.

GlobalModelExchange specific requirements:

1. Secure Container
2. MySQL 5.0.45

Step 2: Prepare Configuration Files.

Copy GME configuration files to new host.

1. Download and extract https://wiki.cagrid.org/download/attachments/10617829/caGrid-1.4-Configs-NCI.zip.
   1. Copy <target_grid>/GlobalModelExchange/gme.properties to $HOME/tmp
   2. Copy <target_grid>/GlobalModelExchange/serviceMetadata.xml to $HOME/tmp

Step 3: Install caGrid 1.4 Software and configure a secure container.

At Step 11 of the caGrid install make sure you select the correct target grid for your installation QA: NCI QA Grid for caGrid 1.4 Stage: NCI QA Grid for caGrid 1.4 Production: NCI QA Grid for caGrid 1.4 Training: Training Grid for caGrid 1.4 Step 15: The hostname must be the externally routable name. For example, the Training Grid Master GTS external hostname is mastergts.training.cagrid.org and internal is cagrid-1_3-training-master-gts.cagrid.org. We specified mastergts.training.cagrid.org when creating credentials. Step 16: Select the option to browse to credentials on the host. Use the /home/griduser/tmp/certificates location.

Use the installer to install and configure caGrid using these instructions: [cagrid13:Install caGrid and Configure a Secure Container Using the caGrid 1.4 Installer]

At this point, your user should have the following environment variables set. The last step of the installer provides the paths for these settings: CAGRID_HOME which points to the location of your 'caGrid' source directory ANT_HOME which points to the location of your apache-ant-1.7.0 directory JAVA_HOME which points to the location of your jdk1.6.0_* directory GLOBUS_LOCATION which points to the location of your ws-core-4.0.3 directory CATALINA_HOME which points to the location of your apache-tomcat-5.5.27 directory

Step 4: Configure GME with prepared configuration files.

1. Edit gme.properties
   1. Provide your database configuration settings
2. Copy gme.properties
   

    $ cp $/tmp/gme.properties $CAGRID_HOME/projects/globalModelExchange/etc/.
   

3. Copy serviceMetadata.xml
   

    $ cp $/tmp/serviceMetadata.xml $CAGRID_HOME/projects/globalModelExchange/etc/.
   

Step 5: Install GlobalModelExchange.

1. Deploy the GlobalModelExchange service
   

    $ cd $CAGRID_HOME/projects/globalModelExchange 
   
   $ ant deployTomcat
   

Step 6: Start Tomcat.

Start Tomcat as follows:

  $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh

Check the $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out file for any errors.

Step 7: Validate.
