Groundplex installation covers the following tasks:

  1. Setting up a Groundplex.

  2. Importing a certificate.

For prerequisites, see Groundplex Deployment Planning. 

Note

Linux-based Groundplex Installation Tips

  • The Linux installer comes bundled with the JRE necessary for this Snaplex. We recommend you use the patch version of Java 11 that is bundled with the installer for your Linux environment. 

  • Before you begin, learn more about memory configuration for dynamic workloads here.

Setting up a Groundplex

  1. Log into SnapLogic Manager as an Org admin.

  2. Navigate to the project where you want to create your Groundplex, and perform one of the following steps:

    • Click the Snaplex tab, then click  (blue star)  to display the Snaplex dialog.
      OR

    • Click (blue star) to display the Assets drop-down list, then select Snaplex; the Snaplex dialog appears.

  3. Enter the required information on the Create Snaplex form. Once completed, the Downloads tab on the Snaplex popup appears. The Downloads tab has links to the installer and configuration files.

  4. Download the RPM or DEB-based installer and configuration files onto a Linux machine, where <filename> is the name of the current installer file and fontconfig and zip are the required dependencies:

    • For CentOS (or Redhat) 6.3 or newer, run the following commands:
      $ sudo yum install fontconfig zip
      $ sudo rpm -i <filename>.rpm

    • For Ubuntu 14.04 or newer, run the following command: 
      $ sudo apt-get install fontconfig zip
      $ sudo dpkg -i <filename>.deb

  5. After the software is installed, place the downloaded configuration file in the /opt/snaplogic/etc directory and make sure the file name ends with .slpropz. Change the .slpropz file so that snapuser owns it by running the following commands:

    Code Block
    $ sudo chown snapuser:snapuser /opt/snaplogic/etc/myplex.slpropz
$ sudo chmod 600 /opt/snaplogic/etc/myplex.slpropz

  6. To start the Snaplex service, run:
    $ sudo /opt/snaplogic/bin/jcc.sh start

  7. To verify that the Snaplex has started, visit https://elastic.snaplogic.com/sl/dashboard.html#Health. The newly installed Snaplex node should appear in the list of nodes for the Snaplex.

FeedMaster Installation

Ultra Pipelines require that you set up a FeedMaster along with the JCC (Java Component Container) nodes in your Groundplex. For details, see Deploying a FeedMaster Node.
