Preparation of RPA and BI configurations

By default, Windows configs are generated on APP server at /distr/windows_host_configuration. In this guide, you can find the steps how to do it manually. Generated configurations will be zipped to archives at /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 a user to the default user wfuser:

    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 at <PACKAGE_DIR>/certificates.

  6. Run the configuration generation step with the 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 the Vault password used for encrypting the secrets.yml file.

    Here is the structure of the RPA archive package:

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

    Here is the structure of the 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

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

Log in to the BI server and follow the next steps:

  1. Copy bi_windows_host_configuration.zip to the host.

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

  3. 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

  4. Copy configs:

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

  5. Proceed with other BI Windows Server installation.

Using pre-generated configuration on 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 next steps:

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

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

  3. Change the path to a 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 filebeat directory <INSTALL_DIR>/filebeat/ssl.

  7. 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

  8. Add <EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE_PATH>/rpa_configuration/ssl/CA.crt to RPA Java keystore, refer to Platform Monitor configuration for more details.

  9. Proceed with other RPA Windows Server installation.
