Preparing to create clusters

Before you create clusters on the application server, you must first complete tasks on the Maximo® Asset Management side. You create customized properties files for clusters, configure the message-driven bean files, create the build files, build the EAR files, and create the rmireg.war file.

  1. Creating properties files for clusters
    To separate tasks and functions between the clusters, you need to create, edit, and encrypt copies of the maximo.properties file. A typical clustered environment has separate clusters for processing user interface operations, cron jobs, reports, and integration transactions.
  2. Configuring message-driven beans for clusters
    You need to create copies of the files that contain the code for the message-driven beans. You modify the files for the integration framework cluster to configure message-driven beans for continuous queues.
  3. Creating build files for clusters
    You must create a separate buildmaximoear.cmd file for each cluster. When you run the separate buildmaximoear.cmd files, you create a separate EAR file for each cluster.
  4. Building Maximo EAR files for clusters
    After you create a build file for each cluster, you must build a Maximo EAR file for the cluster. The name of the EAR file is based on the set EAR_FILENAME statement in the build file.
  5. Building the RMI registry file
    The rmireg.war file is used to create the remote method invocation (RMI) registry. After you create the rmireg.war file, you can deploy the file on the application server.
