Preparation of RPA and BI configurations

By default Windows configs are generated on the APP server in /distr/windows_host_configuration. In this guide, you can find the steps how to do it manually.

Generated configurations are zipped to the archives in /distr/windows_host_configuration:

  • RPA: rpa_windows_host_configuration.zip
  • BI: bi_windows_host_configuration.zip

  1. Log in to APP Server via SSH.

  2. Change user to default user wfuser.

    su - wfuser
cd /opt/workfusion/wf_installer/

  3. Copy secrets_overrides.yml and config_overrides.yml files from DB node to the current host.

  4. Make sure that rpa_manager_nodes and bi_hostname variables are filled with the actual hostname.

  5. Make sure that Analytics certificates are generated and are located at <PACKAGE_DIR>/certificates.

  6. Run configuration generation step with full path for the secrets_overrides.yml and config_overrides.yml files.

    ./install.sh rpa_bi_win_configs app -e @/tmp/secrets_overrides.yml -e @/tmp/config_overrides.yml

    This command asks for Vault password that used for encrypting the secrets.yml file.

    Here is the structure of RPA archive package:

    - SSL
  - server.pem
  - server.key
  - client.pem
  - CA.crt
- nginx
  - nginx.conf
- wfagent
  - environment.yml

    Here is the structure of BI archive package:

    - SSL
  - bi.crt
  - bi.key
  - CA.crt
- configs
  - config.<wfapp>.cmd
  - config.<wfapp>_WFA.cmd
  - import_users.csv

  7. Copy this archive to destination Windows hosts and unpack.

Using pre-generated configuration on Windows Analytics server

This step should be done after BI Installer is extracted and installed.

  1. Log in to the BI server.

  2. Copy bi_windows_host_configuration.zip to the host.

  3. Extract archive bi_windows_host_configuration.zip to any folder on your Windows PC.

  4. Copy CA.crt and BI certificates to:

  • <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\bi_configuration\SSL\CA.crt to ssl directory <INSTALL_DISK>\ssl\
  • <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\bi_configuration\SSL\bi.crt to ssl directory <INSTALL_DISK>\ssl\
  • <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\bi_configuration\SSL\bi.key to ssl directory <INSTALL_DISK>\ssl\
  • <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\bi_configuration\SSL\CA.crt to filebeat directory <INSTALL_DISK>\Filebeat\

  1. Copy configs:

    • <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\bi_configuration\configs\import_users.csv to deploy the <INSTALL_DISK>\tdeploy_home\deploy\config\ directory
    • <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\bi_configuration\configs\config.<wfapp>.cmd to deploy the <INSTALL_DISK>\tdeploy_home\deploy\config\ directory
    • <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\bi_configuration\configs\config.<wfapp>_WFA.cmd to deploy the <INSTALL_DISK>\tdeploy_home\deploy\config\ directory

Proceed with the BI Windows Server installation.

Using pre-generated configuration on RPA server

This step should be done after RPAInstaller extracted and installed.

  1. Log in to the RPA server.

  2. Copy rpa_windows_host_<rpa_manager_node>_configuration.zip to the host with right <rpa_manager_node> name.

  3. Extract the rpa_windows_host_<rpa_manager_node>_configuration.zip archive to any folder on your Windows PC.

  4. Change path to correct value in <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\rpa_configuration\nginx\nginx.conf.

  5. Copy <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\rpa_configuration\nginx\nginx.conf to <INSTALL_DIR>\nginx\conf\nginx.conf.

  6. Copy <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\rpa_configuration\wfagent\environment.yml to <INSTALL_DIR>\wfagent\conf\environment.yml.

  7. Copy <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\rpa_configuration\ssl\CA.crt to filebeat directory <INSTALL_DIR>\filebeat\ssl\.

  8. Copy Nginx cerificates:

  • <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\rpa_configuration\ssl\server.pem to filebeat directory <INSTALL_DIR>\nginx\ssl\
  • <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\rpa_configuration\ssl\server.key to filebeat directory <INSTALL_DIR>\nginx\ssl\
  • <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\rpa_configuration\ssl\client.pem to filebeat directory <INSTALL_DIR>\nginx\ssl\

  1. Add <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\rpa_configuration\ssl\CA.crt to RPA Java keystore. Refer to Platform Monitor configuration for more details.

  2. Proceed with other RPA Windows Server installation.
