Enabling metering on Tomcat

You use the res-setup Ant task to configure each artifact for which you want to enable metering.

About this task

You can enable the metering feature for the following Decision Server runtime features:

Hosted Transparent Decision Service
Testing and simulation

The metering parameters are described in Setting up Decision Server to integrate with the metering services.

Procedure

Run the res-setup Ant task as described below for the following Decision Server runtime features.

Hosted Transparent Decision Service

The following command generates a DecisionService.war file with the metering feature enabled.

 cd <odm_install_dir>/executionserver/bin
 <odm_install_dir>/shared/tools/ant/bin/ant -f ressetup.xml -Dmetering.war.in=../applicationservers/tomcat8/DecisionService.war -Dmetering.war.out=<my_output_dir>/DecisionService.war -Dmetering.enable=true -Dmetering.server.url=http://<odmmeteringservicehost>:<odmmeteringserviceport> -Dmetering.api.key=<irrelevant,putanything> -Dmetering.instance.identifier=<meteringclientID> -Dmetering.send.usages=true setup-metering

Testing and simulation

The following command generates a DecisionRunner.war file with the metering feature enabled.

 cd <odm_install_dir>/executionserver/bin
 <odm_install_dir>/shared/tools/ant/bin/ant -f ressetup.xml -Dmetering.war.in=../applicationservers/tomcat8/DecisionRunner.war -Dmetering.war.out=<my_output_dir>/DecisionRunner.war -Dmetering.enable=true -Dmetering.server.url=http://<odmmeteringservicehost>:<odmmeteringserviceport> -Dmetering.api.key=<irrelevant,putanything> -Dmetering.instance.identifier=<meteringclientID> -Dmetering.send.usages=true setup-metering

The following command generates a testing.war file with the metering feature enabled.

 cd <odm_install_dir>/executionserver/bin
 <odm_install_dir>/shared/tools/ant/bin/ant -f ressetup.xml -Dmetering.war.in=../applicationservers/tomcat8/testing.war -Dmetering.war.out=<my_output_dir>/testing.war -Dmetering.enable=true -Dmetering.server.url=http://<odmmeteringservicehost>:<odmmeteringserviceport> -Dmetering.api.key=<irrelevant,putanything> -Dmetering.instance.identifier=<meteringclientID> -Dmetering.send.usages=true setup-metering

Deploy the generated output files to your application server by copying the files to the Tomcat webapps directory.
Optional: When more than one Decision Server instance connects to the metering service, in particular in the case of a cluster, each instance must be uniquely identified by using the attributes metering.install.directory and metering.instance.identifier.
Restart the application server.

Results

The Decision Server data is now sent to your metering service.
