Overview
The Fusion Edge Server is designed to be deployed across multiple servers and positioned behind a load balancer to achieve high availability. Strategies can be put in place with regards to rolling deploys for software upgrade, and different techniques can be used to support data and metadata updates.
For simple deployments, including testing, installing the Fusion Edge server can be a very fast, painless experience. Simply install Apache Tomcat, and Java, and put the Fusion Edge Server application (war file) into tomcat/webapps and launch Tomcat.
This guide provides information on how to deploy and load Fusion Edge Server with a single Tomcat instance.
Quick Start with Apache Tomcat
Deploy Application and Launch Web Server
The Fusion Edge Server consists of a single .war file called FusionEdgeServer.war.
- Copy FusionEdgeServer.war into the directory: <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps
- Start the Tomcat Server
- Check the Tomcat <TOMCAT_HOME>/logs to ensure there are no errors in the log files
During the Tomcat start-up process, the war file will be unpacked into a directory of the same name, for example:
<TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/FusionEdgeServer
On successful launch the Fusion Edge Server product information service can be queried from the following URL:
http://[server]:[port]/FusionEdgeServer/ws/fusion/info/product
The values for server and port must be replaced with the IP address and port number that the web application server is running on. For example, if the web browser is running on the same machine as the web application server and the Apache Tomcat has not had its default port settings modified, then the following address can be used:
http://localhost:8080/FusionEdgeServer
The Fusion Edge Server is now deployed and running in a web container, the URL will result in an empty (white page) - remeber the purpose of the FusionEdgeServer is to host a READ ONLY REST API to your SDMX Structural Metadata, Data, and Reference Metadata. The Fusion Edge server has no User Interface, so the white empty page is a good thing. The REST API of the Fusion Edge Server can be used to browse your content, which should be currently empty.
Configure Fusion Edge Server
Configure the edgeserver.properties file in the Fusion Edge Server home directory.
Publish Content
Once the Fusion Edge Server web application has been configured, please refer to the following guide on how to publish data and metadata.
Test Web Service
The structural metadata, data, and reference metadata held in the Fusion Edge Server is made available via SDMX compliant web services.
http(s)://[server]:[port]/FusionEdgeServer/ws/public/sdmxapi/rest
A test query can be issued, for example:
https://localhost:8080/FusionEdgeServer/ws/public/sdmxapi/rest/dataflow
