Service startup for GAX (Other Genesys components etc.) in Linux CentOS 7

[ryusuf]

Dears,

Is there any documentation on setting up services for Genesys Applications like GAX in Linux CentOS 7 which will start automatically on boot?

When we installed LCA, it prompted whether to add in the init.d directory for startup and it created gctilca file inside the directory.

Similarly for config server, i created the following service inside the /etc/systemd/system directory (expecting this is the right approach)

[code][Unit]
Description=Genesys Config Server
After=network.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/app/gcti/config_srv
ExecStart=/app/gcti/config_srv/confserv 2020
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
KillSignal=SIGINT
SyslogIdentifier=genesys-confserv
User=root
Group=root

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target[/code]

I want GAX to start once the Linux machine starts up. What is the recommended approach? Is there some kind of service scripts to be added in the init.d or /etc/systemd/system for all the Genesys components?

Let me know your inputs on the best practices.

Best Regards,
Rashid

No they don't exist by default as Linux tends to vary from flavor to flavor.
Usually that is handled by Linux admins...
But yes, would be nice to have a full library of those.

Why you do not use the autostart function which SCS provides by default? In that case, you will need only the framework and management being started by OS, rest can be started by Genesys MGMT layer

So does it mean that we need to run gax_startup.sh first and then set the autostart option in the annex of the GAX object. After which, whenever there is a restart of the host, GAX would start automatically?

[cavagnaro]

You start GAX from GA for example, if it later is detected by SCS as Stopped, will try to start it over.

For GAX I'm using

[code][Unit]
Description=Genesys Administrator Extension Server
After=genesyscs.service

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/opt/genesys/EnvironmentVariables
Type=forking
PIDFile=/var/run/genesys/genesysgax.pid
User=genesys
Group=genesys
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "cd /opt/genesys/gax/ ; ./gax_startup.sh & echo $! >/var/run/genesys/genesysgax.pid"
Restart=always
RestartSec=30
StandardOutput=null
StandardError=null

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
[/code]

Local user "genesys" is the owner of /opt/genesys, /var/log/genesys and /var/run/genesys

EnvironmentVariables contains all needed environment like:

[code]JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/jdk11
CASSANDRA_HOME=/opt/cassandra
JRE_HOME=/opt/java/jre11
PATH=/opt/java/jre11/bin:/usr/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/genesys/SecurityPack:/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64=/opt/genesys/SecurityPack
CLASSPATH=/opt/genesys/lib/postgresql-9.3-1104.jdbc4.jar
[/code]

But, yes, you can just set autostart in application Annex:

[code][sml]
autostart=true
[/code]

Additonal file /etc/tmpfiles.d/genesys.conf that instructs to create directory for PID files at startup:

[code]d    /var/run/genesys  0755 genesys root - -[/code]

Do you use /var/run/genesys directory to store all the genesys service files? If you can, please elaborate so we can use these practices.

Thanks a lot Janis for the details shared. Appreciate it.

Let me try this out and will update.

Under the unit section of this file for SCS, the [b]After [/b]field is [b]genesysscs.service[/b]. Since this file is for SCS itself, should the after field contain genesysscs.service?

[Janis]

No, there is genesyscs Like GenesysConfigrationService.
But feel free to create your own starting sequence according to your needs.

Ohhh 

I misread it as scs instead of cs. 

Thanks

What have you done for FlexLM license manager? Can you share your insights.

Thanks in advance
