Introduction

For JS7 - Automated Deployment On Premises use of a Deployment Area is recommended.

The Deployment Area is used for the following purposes:

The following sections explain the directories included in a Deployment Area.

Explanation on Individual Files

Environment Script: env.sh

The Environment Script initializes a number of environment variables that map to directories as explained above.

The script has to be invoked before running any script to install, to package or to deploy to target hosts.

Example for Environment File env.sh
#!/bin/sh

SCRIPT_HOME=${HOME}/js7.deploy

DEP_ARCHIVE="${DEP_ARCHIVE:-$SCRIPT_HOME/archive}"
DEP_BIN="${DEP_BIN:-$SCRIPT_HOME/bin}"
DEP_CA="${DEP_CA:-$SCRIPT_HOME/ca}"
DEP_CONFIG="${DEP_CONFIG:-$SCRIPT_HOME/config}"
DEP_DESC="${DEP_DESC:-$SCRIPT_HOME/desc}"
DEP_RELEASE="${DEP_RELEASE:-$SCRIPT_HOME/release}"
DEP_WORK="${DEP_WORK:-$SCRIPT_HOME/work}"

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-11.0.2"
PATH=${DEP_BIN}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

export JAVA_HOME PATH DEP_ARCHIVE DEP_BIN DEP_CA DEP_CONFIG DEP_DESC DEP_RELEASE DEP_WORK


Explanation:

  • Any environment variable makes use of a fallback if not otherwise specified.
    • By default the env.sh script's directory is assumed to hold the directory layout of the Deployment Area.
  • Each environment variable in the script points to a directory with a specific purpose that can be located outside of the suggested directory layout.
    • The DEP_ARCHIVE, DEP_BIN, DEP_CA, DEP_CONFIG, DEP_DESC, DEP_RELEASE, DEP_WORK environment variables point to directories explained with the directory layout.
    • Users can modify the directory layout at their will, for example the making the DEP_RELEASE environment variable indicate a mount point.
  • The location of the Java JDK is specified with the JAVA_HOME environment variable. Users have to adjusts the environment variable to the location of their Java JDK.
    • Typically Java LTS releases 11 and newer can be used. For Agent and Controller Java 1.8 can be used. For details see Which Java versions is JobScheduler available for?
    • The PATH environment variable is adjusted to point to the location of the bin sub-directory of Java.
  • Consider that environment variables have to be exported in order to be applied by subsequent calls to deployment scripts.

The Environment Script has to be sourced to make environment variables available to shell scripts in the Deployment Area:

The script has to be sourced, this means the call to the script is preceded by a dot and a space like this:

Run the env.sh Environment Script
. ./env.sh

Installer Wrapper Scripts: run_install_agent.sh, run_install_controller.sh, run_install_joc.sh

The Installer Wrapper Scripts are created by the JS7 - Deployment Packaging Script to parameterize calls to the Installer Scripts.

An example of a Wrapper Script for installation of an Agent using HTTPS connections looks like this:

Example for Installer Wrapper Script run_install_agent.sh
#!/bin/sh

set -e

DEP_CONFIG="/home/sos/js7.deploy/config"
DEP_BIN="/home/sos/js7.deploy/bin"
DEP_WORK_TEMP="/home/sos/js7.deploy/work/agents/agent_001"

mkdir -p "${DEP_WORK_TEMP}"

"${DEP_BIN}"/js7_install_agent.sh \
    --real-path-prefix="${DEP_WORK_TEMP}" \
    --release="2.5.0" \
    --tarball="/mnt/releases/scheduler_setups/2.5.0/js7_agent_unix.2.5.0.tar.gz" \
    --home="${DEP_WORK_TEMP}/opt/sos-berlin.com/js7/agent-primary" \
    --data="${DEP_WORK_TEMP}/var/sos-berlin.com/js7/agent-primary" \
    --http-port="localhost:31443" \
    --https-port="centostest-primary.sos:31443" \
    --controller-id="cluster" \
    --controller-primary-cert="${DEP_CONFIG}/controllers/instances/cluster.primary/config/centostest-primary.crt" \
    --controller-secondary-cert="${DEP_CONFIG}/controllers/instances/cluster.secondary/config/private/centostest-secondary.crt" \
    --keystore="${DEP_CONFIG}/agents/instances/agent_001/config/private/https-keystore.p12" \
    --keystore-password="jobscheduler" \
    --truststore="${DEP_CONFIG}/agents/instances/agent_001/config/private/https-truststore.p12" \
    --truststore-password="jobscheduler" \
    --deploy-dir="${DEP_CONFIG}/agents/templates/https/config" \
    --make-dirs


Explanation:

  • The parameterization is used from the Deployment Descriptor.
  • The --home and --data directories are prefixed with the directory of the work area.
    • The --real-path-prefix holds the work area directory. The Installer Script makes use of this information to conclude the effective directories as used for the target host.
  • Wrapper Scripts for Controllers and JOC Cockpit are similarly parameterized.

Deployment Scripts: run_deploy_agent.sh, run_deploy_controller.sh, run_deploy_joc.sh

The Deployment Scripts are created by the JS7 - Deployment Packaging Script. The scripts are called by Rollout Scripts on target hosts to extract the respective tarballs. The parameterization is created from the Deployment Descriptor.

Example for Deployment Script run_deploy_agent.sh
#!/bin/sh

Explanation:

  • Authentication is performed by use of private/public key.
  • For each deployed tarball transfer and extraction are individually applied.
  • The example includes commands for pre- and post-processing to stop and to start an Agent from iJS7 - systemd Service Files for automated Startup and Shutdown with Unix Systems.
  • The example leaves out (...) a number of shell functions that are created to implement the MakeService, StopService and StartService operations.

Rollout Scripts: run_rollout_agent.sh, run_rollout_controller.sh, run_rollout_joc.sh

The Rollout Scripts perform transfer of deployment tarballs to target hosts and extract the respective tarballs by invoking the Deployment Script. The parameterization is created from the Deployment Descriptor.

Example for Rollout Script run_rollout_agent.sh
#!/bin/sh
