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 the APP Server via SSH.

  2. Change user to the default wfuser user.

    su - wfuser
cd /opt/workfusion/wf_installer/

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

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

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

  6. Run configuration generation step with the full path for 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

    The command will ask for the Vault password that used for encrypting the secrets.yml file.

    Structure of RPA archive package:

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

    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 the destination Windows hosts and unpack.

Using pre-generated configuration on Windows Analytics server

This step should be done after the BI Installer is extracted and installed with BI Windows Server Installation.

Log in to the BI server and perform the following steps:

  1. Copy bi_windows_host_configuration.zip to the host.

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

  3. Copy CA.crt and BI certificates to:

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

  4. Copy the configurations:

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

Proceed with the BI Windows Server installation.

Using pre-generated configuration on the RPA server

This step should be done after RPAInstaller is extracted and installed with the RPA Windows Server Installation.

Log in to the RPA server and follow the steps:

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

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

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

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

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

  6. Copy <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>\rpa_configuration\ssl\CA.crt to the Filebeat directory <INSTALL_DIR>\filebeat\ssl\.

  7. Copy Nginx cerificates:

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

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

  2. Proceed with other RPA Windows server installations.
