Start a stand-alone data grid for REST data services

Follow these steps to start the WebSphere eXtreme Scale REST service sample data grid for a stand-alone eXtreme Scale deployment.

Before you begin

Install the WebSphere eXtreme Scale Trial or full product:

• Install the stand-alone version of the WebSphere eXtreme Scale 7.1 product and apply any subsequent fixes.

• Download and extract the WebSphere eXtreme Scale v7.1 trial, which includes the WebSphere eXtreme Scale REST data service.

Start the WebSphere eXtreme Scale sample data grid.

Procedure

1. Start the catalog service process. Open a command-line or terminal window and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable:

   • export JAVA_HOME=java_home

   • set JAVA_HOME=java_home

2. cd restservice_home/gettingstarted
   

3. Start the catalog service process.

   To start the service without eXtreme Scale security, use the following commands.

   • ./runcat.sh

   • runcat.bat

   To start the service witheXtreme Scale security, use the following commands.

   • ./runcat_secure.sh

   • runcat_secure.bat

4. Start two container server processes. Open another command-line or terminal window and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable:

   • export JAVA_HOME=java_home

   • set JAVA_HOME=java_home

5. cd restservice_home/gettingstarted
   

6. Start a container server process:

   To start the server without eXtreme Scale security, use the following commands:

   • ./runcontainer.sh container0

   • runcontainer.bat container0

   To start the server witheXtreme Scale security, use the following commands.

   • ./runcontainer_secure.sh container0

   • runcontainer_secure.bat container0

7. Open another command-line or terminal window and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable:

   • export JAVA_HOME=java_home

   • set JAVA_HOME=java_home

8. cd restservice_home/gettingstarted
   

9. Start a second container server process.

   To start the server without eXtreme Scale security, use the following commands.

   • ./runcontainer.sh container1

   • runcontainer.bat container1

   To start the server with eXtreme Scale security, use the following commands.

   • ./runcontainer_secure.sh container1

   • runcontainer_secure.bat container1

Results

Wait until the eXtreme Scale containers are ready before proceeding with the next steps. The container servers are ready when the following message is displayed in the terminal window:

CWOBJ1001I: ObjectGrid Server container_name is ready to process requests. Where container_name is the name of the container that was started.
