This section describes the GreenVulcano® ESB installation steps.

Copy the file

  1. Unzip the file GvEnterprise3.2.0.zip in any directory on the server where you plan to install the software. To avoid potential problems the installation path MUST NOT contain spaces.
Linux.png In case of *nix operating systems, you can choose to create an installation directory for GreenVulcano® ESB into the user's home directory (ex. /home/gvuser), or paths established by the System Administrators (ex. /opt). Navigate to the directory chosen for installation and decompress the file with the command:

unzip GvEnterprise3.2.0.zip

Windows.png In case of Windows operating systems, you should unpack the ZIP file to a directory editable by the user, used to run GreenVulcano® ESB. It is recommended NOT to use spaces in the directory name. Navigate to the directory chosen for installation and decompress the file using a program compatible with the GNU zip compression format.

Environment configuration

Before using GreenVulcano® ESB is necessary to set some environment variables.

  1. Create the JBOSS_HOME environment variable and set it with the absolute path installation of JBoss;
  2. Create the GV_HOME environment variable and set it with the absolute path where GreenVulcano® ESB has been installed;
  3. Create the GV_SERVER environment variable and set it with the absolute path where is the JBoss server of GreenVulcano® ESB;
  4. Create the JAVA_HOME environment variable and set it with the absolute path where JDK is installed.

Follow the examples below to configure properly the environment variables.

Linux.png In case of *nix operating systems, edit the file env_GreenV.sh under GvEnterprise3.2.0/GvServer/GreenV/bin and set the variables values as follows:

export JBOSS_HOME = /home/gvuser/GvEnterprise3.2.0/GvServer/jboss-5.1.0.GA
export GV_SERVER = $JBOSS_HOME/server/GreenV
export GV_HOME = /home/gvuser/GvEnterprise3.2.0/GvServer/GreenV
export CLASSPATH = $GV_HOME/xmlconfig
export JAVA_HOME = /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun

Windows.png In case of Microsoft Windows operating systems, edit the file env_GreenV.cmd under GvEnterprise3.2.0/GvServer/GreenV/bin and set the variables values as follows:

set JBOSS_HOME = C:\GvEnterprise3.2.0\GvServer\jboss-5.1.0.GA
set GV_SERVER = %JBOSS_HOME\server\GreenV
set GV_HOME = C:\GvEnterprise3.2.0\GvServer\GreenV
set CLASSPATH=%GV_HOME%\xmlconfig
set JAVA_HOME = C:\SDK\jdk

Boot Parameters

In addition to the above variables, the file start_GreenV.sh (or start_GreenV.cmd in Microsoft Windows environments) contains other values for configuring the GreenVulcano® ESB start. A list of these variables is present bellow:
