Installing Application Configuration (AppConfig) content

To get the baseline set of Application Configurations (AppConfigs) into your core, you must perform the post-installation tasks described in this section using the DCML Exchange Tool (DET).

The AppConfig content archive is located on the Agent & Utilities media in the <distro>/packages/ directory with the file name:

OPSWContent-AppConfig-<current_version>.tgz.

Complete the following steps:

1. The AppConfig content archive is in tar/gz format, so you must uncompress it with gunzip and extract it using tar. You can also use GNU tar with the xvzf flags to simultaneously uncompress and extract the file, for example:

   tar xvzf OPSWContent-AppConfig-<current_version>.tgz

   This command creates a directory named AppConfig.

2. Install the Content Baseline Tool (cbt) (for example, cbt-34_1_0_27.zip)
   from the primary Product Software media. The tool is located in the directory<distro>/packages/<core OS>. Install the tool under /usr/local or any known path and add the location to your path; for example:

   export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cbt/bin

3. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to use Opsware's JRE:

   export JAVA_HOME=/opt/opsware/jdk1.6/

4. Verify that cbt is working properly by invoking it using cbt -v. This command should return a version, if not, check your installation, PATH and/or JAVA_HOME settings.
5. Import the content using a cbt config file or by manually entering the user names and passwords for the DCML Exchange Tool and Web Services Data Access Engine users (for example, admin and detuser):

   cbt -i AppConfig -cf core.cfg

   Shown below is a sample cbt config file. Change the *.host entries and/or passwords as necessary:

   cbt.numthreads: 5

   mail.from: joeuser@opsware.com

   spike.host: USE YOUR IP ADDRESS FOR YOUR SA CORE OR COMPONENT

   way.host: USE YOUR IP ADDRESS FOR YOUR SA CORE 

   word.host: USE YOUR IP ADDRESS FOR YOUR SA CORE

   spin.host: USE YOUR IP ADDRESS FOR YOUR SA CORE

   twist.host: USE YOUR IP ADDRESS FOR YOUR SA CORE

   spike.username: admin

   spike.password=admin

   twist.username: detuser

   twist.password=detuser

   ssl.keyPairs: /var/opt/opsware/crypto/twist/spog.pkcs8

   ssl.trustCerts: /var/opt/opsware/crypto/twist/opsware-ca.crt

   twist.certPaths: /var/opt/opsware/crypto/twist/opsware-ca.crt

6. Launch the SA Client and select Tools > Options and Reload cache now, or wait a few minutes, then verify that your new Content is available.

7. AppConfig content appears in two locations in the SA Client, in the Application Configuration and in the Audit and Remediation feature. To view the AppConfig content in the SA Client, select:

   Navigation pane > Library > By Type > Application Configuration

   or, when viewing an Audit or Snapshot Specification rule:

   Navigation pane > Library > By Type > Audit and Remediation
