First Start Wizard
The EBX.Platform Wizard helps you to configure the default properties of your initial repository. EBX.Manager starts a wizard session when EBX.Platform repository does not exist.
Before starting the configuration of the repository, please ensure that EBX.Platform is correctly deployed on your application server. For more explanations about EBX.Platform deployment, you can see the online documentation .
Check also that ebx.properties is correctly configured.
License key
The license key page is automatically displayed when your license key is invalid (license key not filled in file ebx.properties or licence key expired).
If you do not have a license key, you can get a trial license key here .
Wizard
Launch EBX.Manager to activate the first start wizard.
The configuration of the repository will process the following steps:
-
Validate the license agreement.
-
Input information about the repository.
-
Input information about the directory which will be used by EBX.Platform (if a custom directory is not defined).
-
Validate information.
-
Install the repository.
Validation of the license agreement
The first step presents the license agreement. This agreement has to be accepted in order to continue the configuration.
Input of the repository's information
This step allows to input the properties of the repository and displays some information about the database defined in ebx.properties.
-
Id of the repository (repositoryId) : it has to uniquely identify a repository (at least in the scope of the enterprise). It is coded on 48 bits (6 bytes) and it is usually represented with 12 hexadecimal digits. This information is used for generating UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) of entities created in the repository and also of transactions logged in the history (it plays the role of the « UUID node » part, as specified by RFC 4122).
-
Repository label : it provides a label for the user so that he knows the purpose of the repository. The label will be displayed in EBX.Manager.
-
Installation of a sample adaptation model : you can install a sample adaptation and its data. This adaptation sample contains data that represents a fictitious publishing business. You can refer to the online documentation for more explanations about this sample. Please ensure that ebx-tutorial module is correctly deployed on your application server. For more explanations about ebx-tutorial module deployment, you can see the online documentation .
Input of the directory's information
If a specific directory is not defined in ebx.properties, EBX.Platform configuration assistant allows to define default users for the directory which will be used by EBX.Platorm. For more information about the directory, you can see the online documentation .
Note that an administrator has to be defined. You can also define an optional user.
Validation of information
Before the repository installation, a page summarizing the input information is displayed. It is possible to modify this information by navigating into previous pages.
After input data checking, you can then proceed to the repository installation.
Repository installation
The repository installation is performed with the information that you have provided. At the end of the installation, a confirmation page is displayed.
After the repository installation, you can then access EBX.Manager.
