To get the name of the latest release, visit the SVS Simulator project in JIRA and consult Releases section at left.
A maven artifact is published in our Nexus repository each time we release the application. You can use it, but be aware that the link to the database is hardly expressed within the artifact so you will have to use the same database name, hosted in the server running Jboss, and with the same owner (and password).
To get the artifact on Nexus browse: SVSSimulator-ear and download the latest version.
If you rather want to build the project by yourself, you must checkout the latest tag and package it. You may want to create a new profile to customize your build.
1- Checkout the latest tag available on Inria’s forge:
git clone https://gitlab.inria.fr/gazelle/applications/test-execution/simulator/svs-simulator.git
cd svs-simulator
git checkout tag/SVSSimulator-<version>
2- [Optional] Edit the pom.xml file and create a new profile
3- Package the application:
$>mvn [-P profile] clean package
4- The EAR is available at SVSSimulator/SVSSimulator-ear/target/SVSSimulator.ear
If you use the artifact available on Nexus or if you have not change this parameter in the pom.xml file, create a database named svs-simulator, owned by the user gazelle.
$>createdb -U gazelle -E UTF8 svs-simulator
Copy EAR to the deploy folder of JBoss (do not forget to change its name to SVSSimulator.ear) ans start Jboss:
$>sudo service jboss start
Wait until the application has been completely deployed and configure the database running the SQL script for set-up.
WARNING : From version 2.2.0, datasources have been extracted from the ear. The template file can be found in /src/main/application/datasource in the source or in the file SVSSimulator-X.X.X-datasource.zip from the nexus. For more informations about how to manage that externalization, please refer to general considerations for JBoss7.
Datasource name : SVSSimulatorDS
Database name : svs-simulator
You first need to initialize the database with some data available in a SQL script. If you have checked out the project, the script is available in SVSSimulator-ear/src/main/sql/initial-import.sql
Otherwise, download it from Inria’s forge (See Sources section).
Before executing the script, open the file and checked the various preferences to be inserted in the app_configuration table, especially the cas_url, application_url and other preferences relative to the user authentication (see Application configuration section).
Finally, execute the script to initialize the database:
$>psql -U gazelle svs-simulator < initial-import.sql
To take those parameters into account, you need to restart either the whole Jboss:
$>sudo service jboss restart
Either only the application in the deploy folder of Jboss:
$>touch OrderManager.ear
In the Administration menu, you will find a sub-menu entitled “Application Configuration”. The following preferences must be updated according to the configuration of your system. The table below summarizes the variables used by the SVS Simulator tool.
| Variable | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| application_issue_tracker_url | The URL of the bug tracking system where to post issues | https://gazelle.ihe.net/jira/browse/SVS |
| application_url | The URL used by any user to access the tool. The application needs it to build permanent links inside the tool | http://publicUrlOfJboss/SVSSimulator |
| cas_url | If you intent to use a CAS, put its URL here | https://gazelle.ihe.net/cas |
| application_works_without_cas | Tells the application how users are authenticated | true (all users are granted as admin) or false (uses a CAS service to authenticate users) |

| ignore_validation_in_import | disable the XSD validation when importing value sets from XML files | false |
| ip_login | if the application is not linked to a CAS, you can choose to restraint the access to the administration sections of the application to a subset of IP addresses | true (only users whom IP address matches the regex set in ip_login_admin are granted as admin) or false (no IP address check) |
| ip_login_admin | regex to be matched by IP address of the users granted as admin | .* will grant every one as admin |
| link_repository_http | Endpoint to contact the SVS Repository - displayed to the user (HTTP binding) | https://gazelle.ihe.net/ |

| svs_xsd_location | URL of XSD schema SVS.xsd | https://gazelle.ihe.net/xsd/svs/SVS.xsd |
The first time you access the application, you may notice that the home page of the tool is not configured. To set a title and a welcome message, log into the application with admin rights.
Note that you will have to set up this page for all the languages supported by the application.
