Install censhare Service Client on Windows, macOS and headless on Linux. 

Prerequisites

  • censhare Service Client. We recommend a Service client on Linux.

  • create censhare user, e.g.: service-client (as "System user")

  • latest java version

  • latest ImageService tools installed

Supported platforms:

  • latest release of RHEL, SLES, macOS and Windows

Install on Windows

  1. Unzip  censhare Service-Client.
  2. Start  censhare Service-Client.exe  and if required enter your hostname and host URL and click OK.
  3. Enter User, Password, activate  Log on automatically  and log on.
  4. Set up the correct path to your ImageService tools by editing  File|Preferences|General  on the censhare Service Client.

Install on macOS 

  1. Open  censhare Service-Client , drag & drop  censhare Service-Client.app  to  /Applications/  and execute it. If required enter your hostname and host URL and click OK.
  2. Enter User, Password, and click  Log on automatically  and log in.
  3. Set up the path to your ImageService tools by editing  File|Preferences|General  on the censhare Service Client.
  4. Install on Linux.
  5. Copy  censhare Service-Client   to corpus_user@application_host.

Important! If you use a Service Client with multiple network interfaces, you need to adjust the serviceclient.sh start script:

vi /opt/corpus/service-client/serviceclient.sh

under:

# Set JVM properties 

JAVA_PROPERTIES="$JAVA_PROPERTIES -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=
            <IP address of service client host
            >
          "

Replace <IP address of service client host> with either the IP or the hostname of you service client (the one the app server should connect to).

  • Install censhare Service-Client


    { # as corpus_user@application_host tar=tar; test $(uname) = SunOS && 
{ x=$(type -p gtar) && tar=$x }; cd csc=$(\ls -1tr censhare-Service-Client-v[45]*tar.gz | tail -1); test -z "$csc" && 
{ echo "nothing found to unpack..." } || 
{ echo "installing $csc" } $tar -xzf ~/$csc mv $csc ~/censhare/ ln -s ~/censhare/censhare-Service-Client ~/service-client echo "running setup"; echo ./service-client/serviceclient.sh setup 
}
    CODE

CODE


  • Start the Service Client:

{ # as corpus_user@application_host
 ~/service-client/serviceclient.sh start
}

  • Enable Service Client
  • Start Service Client automatically after a server restart:
rccss enable css_serviceclient

  • Check logs:
  • Log file for censhare Service-Client 4.0 - 5.4:

{ # as corpus_user@application_host
less ~/.censhare/v4/service-client-0.0.log
}

  • Log file for censhare Service Client >=5.5:

{ # as corpus_user@application_host
less ~/service-client/logs/service-client-0.0.log
}

  • If everything is ok, the log should look like this:
