22. After installing the FE, following configuration should be done to connect the database
Page 31
HFR, Inc.
Steps to install HFR CE-EMS Front-END in Command or Console mode

following command:
5. After installing the FE, following configuration should be done to connect the database.
3.2.2. Procedure to Configure the FE Server
The following procedure explains two setups. The first setup where the back-end server and front-end
server are on different machines and the second the back-end server and front-end server are on the
same machine.
3.2.2.1. FE and BE on Different Machines
Assume the Back-End is running on a machine with DNS name "MachineBE". Install the Standalone
Front-End on the machine with DNS name "MachineFE".
Connecting the Installed FE server to the BE server
Edit BE_HOST parameter present in <CE-EMS FE HOME>/bin/startnmsFE.sh of

machine with DNS name "MachineBE" or “IP address” of BE Server.
• BE_HOST: Host Name of BE Server or IP address of BE Server
[For Example: “MachineBE” or “10.45.3.55”]
• BE_PORT: Port Number between BE server and FE server for communication
[For Example: 2000 (2000 is default)]
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -Xmx100m -cp $CLASS_PATH -Dcatalina.home=$TOMCAT_HOME -

Dresource_check="$WEBSERVER_PORT,$WEBCONTAINER_PORT,$TOMCAT_SHUTDOWNPORT" -
Dwebserver.port=$WEBSERVER_PORT -Dssl.port=$SSL_PORT -Dwebserver.rootdir=$WEBSERVER_HOME -
XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=15000 -
Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -
Dcom.sun.management.snmp.interface=`hostname` -Dcom.sun.management.snmp.acl=false -
Dcom.sun.management.snmp.port=15500 com.adventnet.nms.startnms.NmsMainFE BE_PORT 2000 BE_HOST
10.45.3.55 ROOT_DIR $NMS_HOME
if [ $? -eq 126 -o -f Patch/smarttmp.txt ]; then
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -cp $UPDATE_MANAGER_CLASSPATH com.adventnet.tools.update.installer.UpdateManager -u conf
-h $NMS_HOME -c
By default, only the files required for Standalone Front-End Server installation, are
present in the “<CE-EMS FE Home>/conf “directory in "MachineFE". All the other
configuration files required for connecting to the database and other operations are
downloaded from "MachineBE" on the Standalone Front-End startup
Page 32
HFR, Inc.
3.2.2.2. FE and BE on the Same Machine
Assume the Back-End is present in the same machine "MachineBE". The Front-End present in the
combo download does not require any changes for the BE_HOST and BE_PORT parameters. By
default, these parameters are set to "localhost" and "9090" respectively. In case the Front-End
server needs to be invoked as a separate process on the same machine as the Back-End server,
then some port values have to be changed in order to avoid clash of usage of ports.
If you want to run the front-end server as a separate process in the same machine where the back-
end server is running, the following ports have to be changed in <CE-EMS FE Home>/setEnv.sh.
• WEBSERVER_PORT : Change the port from 9090 to 9095(say)
• WEBCONTAINER_PORT : Change the port from 8009 to 8010(say)
• TOMCAT_SHUTDOWNPORT : Change the port from 8005 to 8006(say)
3.2.3. Procedure for Connecting FE Server to the JDBC Driver
If you want to use any database other than PostgreSQL, the default database bundled with CE-EMS,
change the DB_CLASSPATH parameter in <CE-EMS FE HOME>/setEnv.sh present in "MachineFE" in
case of the standalone FE Server or the <CE-EMS FE Home>/setEnv.sh present in "MachineBE" in case
of the FE bundled with the BE.
under <CE-EMS FE Home> directory to set the JDBC Driver for Oracle. Set the JDBC Driver
path to ojdbc7.jar.

…
2. Un-comment the following lines and comment out the PostgreSQL database configuration lines in
the hibernate.cfg.xml file.

<property
>
.....

3.2.4. Start CE-EMS FE Server
1. After installing patch file and configuration, go to <CE-EMS FE HOME>/bin

2. Execute startnmsFE.sh script file
Ø sh startnmsFE.sh
