Deploying the Application

You must first configure the dedicated properties file before deploying Procurement Intelligence on your Exalead CloudView instance.

This task shows you how to:

Configure Properties File

  1. Unzip procurement-app-<release>.zip . For example, procurement-app-422.0.0.zip.
    An unzipped folder is created. Do not delete the zipped folder, you will need it to install Procurement Intelligence. For more information, see Install Procurement Intelligence below.
  2. Go to <UNZIPPEDFOLDER>/documents.
  3. Open app.properties.
  4. Specify the following parameters:
    1. POS_ROOT_PATH: path to the .CSV file containing the purchase orders.
    2. CLUSTERS_ROOT_PATH: path the directory of the published clusters in OnePart.
    3. ONEPART_THUMBNAIL_URL: URL of the instance hosting OnePart including port number (http://<HOSTNAME>:<PORT>), to display thumbnails in Procurement Intelligence.
  5. Save your app.properties file.

Install Procurement Intelligence

  1. Make sure that your Exalead CloudView instance is running.
  2. Go to <DATADIR>/bin/.
  3. Launch the following command to deploy Procurement Intelligence on your running instance: 

    cvadmin apps install noversioncheck=true apps-file=[PATH TO procurement-app-<release>.zip file]
propertyFile=[PATH TO app.properties file]

    Note: Do not use spaces or special characters in paths.

Check Installation

  1. From your browser, go to http://<HOSTNAME>:<BASEPORT>.
  2. Click /procurement to open Procurement Intelligence.

  • purchase_orders must target the directory containing the purchase orders .csv file.
  • clusters must target the directory containing the .publish file.
