About configuring a cluster using shared files
The topics in this chapter describe:
*Cluster-level configuration tasks you can perform by setting properties in acserverconfig.xml
*Customizing job completion notification e-mail using the job completion notification e-mail message template file
*Stopping an starting iHub processes, which is commonly necessary when making changes to shared files such as acserverconfig.xml
As a best practice, create a copy of a file before you make any changes to it.
This chapter makes reference to the following variables:
*AC_SERVER_HOME
Represents the BIRT iHub home folder. In a default BIRT iHub installation on Windows, where BIRT iHub was installed as an individual module, AC_SERVER_HOME represents the following path:
C:\Actuate3\BIRTiHubVisualization\modules\BIRTiHub\iHub
In a default BIRT iHub installation on Linux, where BIRT iHub was installed as an individual module, AC_SERVER_HOME represents the following path:
/opt/actuate/BIRTiHubVisualization/modules/BIRTiHub/iHub
*AC_CONFIG_HOME
Represents the shared configuration directory. This directory contains resources that all cluster nodes share, such as acserverlicense.xml, the BIRT iHub license file, and acserverconfig.xml, the shared configuration file. For example, if the system administrator created a folder for the shared configuration directory named config_cluster, then in a default BIRT iHub installation on Windows, where BIRT iHub was installed as an individual module, AC_CONFIG_HOME represents the following path:
C:\Actuate3\BIRTiHubVisualization\modules\BIRTiHub\iHub\shared\config_cluster
If the system administrator did not create a folder for the shared configuration directory, then in a default BIRT iHub installation on Windows, where BIRT iHub was installed as an individual module, AC_CONFIG_HOME represents the following path:
C:\Actuate3\BIRTiHubVisualization\modules\BIRTiHub\iHub\shared\config
In a default BIRT iHub installation on Linux, where BIRT iHub was installed as an individual module, if the system administrator created a folder for the shared configuration directory named config_cluster, for example, AC_CONFIG_HOME represents the following path:
/opt/actuate/BIRTiHubVisualization/modules/BIRTiHub/iHub/shared/config_cluster
If the system administrator did not create a folder for the shared configuration directory, then in a default BIRT iHub installation on Linux, where BIRT iHub was installed as an individual module, AC_CONFIG_HOME represents the following path:
/opt/actuate/BIRTiHubVisualization/modules/BIRTiHub/iHub/shared/config
