Presto Administration : Getting Started with the Presto Server : Move the Presto and MashZone Repositories to a Robust Database Solution : Move the Presto and MashZone Repositories to MySQL
Move the Presto and MashZone Repositories to MySQL
1. If you are using your LDAP Directory as the Presto User Repository, make sure that at least one user in your LDAP Directory has administrator privileges for Presto before you move the Presto Repository. See Grant User Access to Presto with Built-in Groups for instructions.
When the Presto User Repository is your LDAP Directory, the default administrator account (Administrator user) is disabled.
2. If you are hosting the Presto Repository or MashZone Repository in a new database, create the database following MySQL documentation. Keep the following points in mind:
*Make sure this database is supported by Presto or MashZone. See Presto and MashZone Database Compatibility for details.
*If you want Presto to support international characters in meta-data for artifacts, set the character encoding and collation to UTF-8 when you create the database. See documentation for your database for specific instructions.
*For medium or larger MySQL databases that will host the Presto Repository, you should increase the maximum allowed packet size, which defaults to 1MB, for the database.
3. Start the database(s) that will become host to the Presto Repository and/or the MashZone Repository, if they are not already up.
4. Using the SQL tool for the database that will be host, add Presto Repository tables with the scripts shown below from the corresponding folder in presto-install/prestorepository/mysql:
a. Create a Database to hold the Presto Repository tables. See the file createDB.txt for an example.
b. Create a User with rights to the database created in step a. See the file createUser.txt for an example.
c. Connect to the MySQL database created in step a using a SQL tool (for example MySQL command line client) using the user created in step b. See the comments in the file createDBTables.txt for examples.
d. Execute the statements in the file createDBTables.txt to create the tables using the SQL tool (for example, use the MySQL source command: "source /path/to/createDBTables.txt").
e. Execute the statements in the file createSchedulerTables.sql (for example: "source /path/to/createSchedulerTables.sql").
f. Execute the statements in the file createSnapsTables.sql (for example: "source /path/to/createSnapsTables.sql").
This folder also contains scripts to drop the corresponding Presto Repository tables, if needed.
5. Replace the JAR for the Presto Repository:
a. Remove the presto-install/apache-tomee-jaxrs/presto/WEB-INF/lib/jackbe-presto-rds-postgresql-derby.jar JAR file for each Presto Server that uses this Presto Repository. You can delete this JAR or simply move it to a folder that is not in the classpath for the application server that hosts Presto.
b. Copy this JAR file:
presto-install/prestorepository/jackbe-presto-rds-oracle-mysql-mssql.jar
To the web-apps-home/presto/WEB-INF/lib folder.
6. Copy the MySQL JDBC driver jar file to presto-install/apache-tomee-jaxrs/lib.
7. Open the presto-install/apache-tomee-jaxrs/conf/tomee.xml configuration file in the text editor of your choice.
8. For the Presto Repository, edit the <Resource> element with an ID of PrestoRepository and:
a. Update the JDBC driver, URL and credential properties:
<Resource id="PrestoRepository" type="DataSource">
JdbcDriver com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
JdbcUrl jdbc:mysql://host-name/databasename
UserName = username
Password = password
JtaManaged = false
</Resource>
For MySQL databases, it is recommended that you include the database name in data source URLs. If this information is omitted, testing the data source fails and may also cause errors with access to stored procedures.
The JTA managed property must be false.
b. If needed, update optional properties. See TomEE Datasource Properties for a complete list of optional properties and information on defaults.
Some common properties you may need to set include:
*validationQuery = select 1 from dual
*Common tuning properties for connections pools. See Tuning the Presto or MashZone Repository Connection Pool.
9. For the MashZone Repository, edit the <Resource> element with an ID of amzDatabase and:
a. Update the following properties:
<Resource id="amzDatabase" type="DataSource">
JdbcDriver com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
JdbcUrl jdbc:mysql://host-name:port/databasename
UserName = username
Password = password
defaultAutoCommit = true
maxActive = 200
maxIdle = 20
maxOpenPreparedStatements = 0
maxWaitTime = 5000
</Resource>
For MySQL databases, it is recommended that you include the database name in data source URLs. If this information is omitted, testing the data source fails and may also cause errors with access to stored procedures.
b. If needed, update optional properties. See TomEE Datasource Properties for a complete list of optional properties and information on defaults.
Some common properties you may need to set include:
*validationQuery = select 1
*Common tuning properties for connections pools. See Tuning the Presto or MashZone Repository Connection Pool.
10. Open the rdsJDBC.properties configuration file, from the web-apps-home/presto/WEB-INF/classes folder, in the text editor of your choice and:
a. Comment out the property definitions for the Derby database.
b. Uncomment the properties for MySQL and update these properties to match the JNDI configuration your previously updated for TomEE.
c. Save your changes to this file.
You must keep JDBC and JNDI configuration synchronized for the Presto Repository. The application server is using JNDI to connect to the Presto Repository, but some components still use JDBC information.
11. Start the Presto Server to apply these changes. This also starts the MashZone Server.
If the Presto Server wedoes not start up successfully, see Troubleshooting Connections to the Presto Repository for suggestions.
12. Update connection information for the Snapshots Repository:
a. Open Presto Hub and login.
b. Add a JDBC driver for the new database that should host the Snapshots Repository. See Add or Manage JDBC Drivers for instructions on adding JDBC drivers.
c. Expand the JDBC Configuration menu, if needed, and select Datasources.
d. Select SnapshotDatasource and click Edit.
e. Update configuration to point to the new database. See Add a Data Source for information on specific configuration properties.
f. Click Save.
13. Restart the Presto Server to apply these changes.
14. Load macros required for the Snapshot feature in Presto:
a. Open a command or terminal window and move to the presto-install/presto-cli/bin folder.
b. Enter the appropriate command, shown below, for your operating system:
For Windows
For Linux, OS/X or UNIX
publish-global-macros.bat -u Administrator -p manage -url http://app-server:port/presto/edge/api
./publish-global-macros -u Administrator -p manage -url http://app-server:port/presto/edge/api
