How to setup Web Portal to run on Linux.1) On Linux operating systems, use tar -xjvf to extract the software package (.tbz2) in the

directory of your choice. Depending, on your software installation directory, you may need "root" privileges.

Figure 1

Run setup.sh

Figure 2

Choose the Product Edition you will apply the license to.

Once the Tomcat is up and running

Open the web browser of your choice.

Go to http://localhost:11680/MM ( or http://servermachinename: PortNumber/MM)

You will see the connection string to connect to the backend database:

NOTE: if you already have an existing oracle instance you would like to use, please make sure to create a user using the below script:

Create a user MM and a database MM with the following privileges: sqlplus.exe SYS@<DB-NAME> as SYSDBA      -- Delete previous user and database if needed    -- DROP USER MM CASCADE;      CREATE USER MM IDENTIFIED BY MM123!;      GRANT CONNECT TO MM;    GRANT CTXAPP TO MM;      GRANT CREATE TABLE TO MM;    GRANT CREATE VIEW TO MM;    GRANT CREATE SEQUENCE TO MM;    GRANT CREATE TRIGGER TO MM;    GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE TO MM;    GRANT CREATE TYPE TO MM;      GRANT EXECUTE ON CTXSYS.CTX_DDL TO MM;    GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_LOB TO MM;    GRANT EXECUTE ON SYS.DBMS_LOCK TO MM;

     -- If you get the error "Database exception occurred: ORA-01950: no privileges on tablespace 'USERS'"    -- ALTER USER MM QUOTA UNLIMITED ON USERS;

The Oracle 12 DB Administrator may also optimize the KEEP buffer pool. For more details, please refer to:    %MIMM_HOME%\tomcat\conf\localhost\MM.xml

That will generate the hostinfo.xml file. Please send the hostinfo.xml to Erwin support :

Erwin support will generate a license file and send that to you.

Once you get the license,

Save license, the setup installation on Linux is complete. You should see as below,

Figure 11

Setup the remote harvest server:

On a windows machine, unzip the window version of the Erwin Web Portal (e.g. EMM-9.64.2-20161116.zip)

Using Metadata Harvesting Server Only:This allows the user to setup this application server as a metadata harvesting server only, rather than a full metadata management server. It is very useful in architecture deployments where the metadata management server is deployed on Linux, but needs to access remote metadata harvesting servers (agents) on Windows machine where Erwin is installed

Unzip

Figure 12

Once unzipped in the installation directory, then run setup

Figure 13

That will launch the Metadata Management Setup

Figure 14

There is NO web portal web UI on windows, that will run the remote harvesting agent ONLY.

On the Linux Server application open erwin web portal

Go to Tools | Administration

Figure 15

Go to the Servers tab

Figure 16

Default is localhost as the server. Click Add + on top and add

Figure 17

Replace the hostname with the actual Remote Harvesting Erwin Machine name.

Click Save
