Server workflows for HP Matrix Operating Environment

Installing on a remote standalone OO server

The server workflows can be set up on a remote standalone OO server by installing the ESA-OO reference kit. The

ESA-OO reference kit will be installed along with ESA on the CMS server and can be found under C:\Program

Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\esa\ref impl.

The ESA-OO reference kit has a dependency on OO Extensions libraries, which implement the ESA callback IAction

classes. These OO Extensions libraries can be found under C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server

Environment\esa\OO Extensions.

The actual installation of the server workflows requires performing the following tasks on the remote standalone OO

server:

 Installing the ESA-OO reference kit

 Installing the OO Extensions libraries provided by ESA

 Importing the server workflows into the OO repository

Installing the ESA-OO Reference Kit and OO Extensions library

The first two tasks are automated through a batch script provided in the ESA-OO reference kit. The following steps

explain details of installing the ESA-OO reference kit and the OO Extensions libraries on the remote standalone OO

server.

1. Transfer the OO Extension libraries from the CMS server (located under C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server

Environment\esa\OO Extensions) to a destination folder C:\temp\esa\OO Extensions on the remote standalone

OO server.

2. Transfer the ESA-OO-RefImpl.zip file from the CMS server (located under C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server

Environment\esa\ref impl) to a destination folder C:\temp\ESA-OO on the remote standalone OO server.

3. Extract ESA-OO-RefImpl.zip file and change the directory to C:\temp\ESA-OO\ESA-OO-RefImpl.

Note: The default extract tool on Window 2003 may not work properly due to limitations of file path name.

Alternately, tool like 7z can be used with path mode value set to “Full Path Name”.

4. Execute the setupESA_IActionJars.bat file, as below:

setupESA_IActionJars –ooPath “C:\Hewlett-Packard” –esaPath “C:\temp”

where:

o The ooPath option requires parent path where OO is installed. Specify the correct path If it is different from

C:\Hewlett-Packard.

o The esaPath option requires the parent path of esa\OO Extensions folder where OO Extensions libraries are

located.

5. Follow the instructions while executing the setupESA_IActionJars batch file and make sure that there are no errors

during the execution. This script, when executed successfully, will install all the IAction libraries and restart the

RSJRAS service.

Importing the Server Workflows into the OO Repository

The following steps explain the procedure for importing server workflows into the OO repository:

1. Start OO Studio and login as Admin

2. On the menu bar, select Repository -> Import Repository…

3. On the “Select Repository Directory” window, navigate to OOWorkflows folder, located under C:\temp\ESA-

OO\ESA-OO-RefImpl and click on “Open” button. This will open a new window to import the workflow

repository.
