Installing and running the COSMOS Demo and Prerequisites

The COSMOS Demo is a good place for adopters to explore what COSMOS has to offer in the way of functionality and facilities. The COSMOS Demo download provides the COSMOS UI and exemplar Data Managers that allow the adopter to query sample data from a variety of sources.
This section provides instructions for installing and running the demo program that is provided in the COSMOS build.
  1. Install the web server.
  2. Download Axis2 war file for the web server. Need clarification on how to alter this text.
  3. Download the BIRT project.
  4. Unzip the demo zip file downloaded from COSMOS Downloads to a directory. You will see a directory called cosmos-demo. This directory will be referred to as <cosmos-demo> in this document.
  5. If you are using the Aperi MDR, you will need to install and setup Aperi as follows :
    1. Download the Aperi Storage Resource Manager version 0.4.1 from Aperi downloads.
    2. Follow the instructions at Aperi install instructions. You must choose Derby as your database.
    3. After successfully installing Aperi, you may wish to run some Aperi probes to populate your database with storage information (refer to the "Aperi post-installation instructions" section of the install instructions).
    4. Alternatively, you can use the sample Aperi database located at <cosmos-demo>\database\Aperi. To install the sample Aperi database, replace your <aperi-installation-folder>\db folder with the contents of the <cosmos-demo>\database\Aperi folder.
    5. Note that the Aperi MDR is preconfigured to access the default Aperi derby database (at localhost and port 1527). If you have chosen another location, you will need to modify the <web-server-dir>\webapps\axis2\WEB-INF\services\AperiMdr\META-INF\services.xml file to change the DERBY_HOST and DERBY_PORT parameters.
      Need clarification on how to alter the "\axis2\" portion of the file.
    6. Before using the Aperi MDR, start the Aperi derby database. For example: type start derby from the <Aperi install>\db directory.
