The demo server at http://registry.oss-watch.ac.uk can be updated by anyone with the necessary priveledges (e.g. a sudo user) on the demo machine with the following steps.

Update and Compile the Modules

cd /home/simal
./update.sh

This will update all Simal modules from SVN, run all tests and deploy artifacts to the local Maven repository.

Clean The Demo Data - OPTIONAL

If you want to reset the demo data follow these steps:

On the Tools page of the demo server select "Remove all data from the repository" - be very careful with this, it will delete all data in the server. Only use it if you know what you are doing.

NOTE: you will need to stop the server as described in the next section before proceeding.

Now deploy the approved data using:

./deployData.sh

This will deploy all the data files we have that are known to work cleanly in the Simal repository. We need to do this because the update command we ran earlier deleted the current demo data. This is done to ensure hte demo server isn't filled up with spam entries, we periodically reset it in this way.

Stop the currently running process

ps aux | grep maven

Note the process ID for the currently running instance of Simal.

kill [SIMAL_PROCESS_ID]

Run the Server

Now we run the server again with:

./run.sh

That's it, you can log out now.

Script Sources

The scripts used on the demo server are provided below. Using these scripts you can set up your own demo server for use locally. In theory you will only need to change the paths at the start of each script, let us know if this is not the case in practice.

update.sh

#!/bin/bash

# This script updates Simal from SVN head and insatlls the artifacts into
# the MAVEN repository.

# FIXME: if any of the builds fail the script tries to continue and subsequent
# builds will probably fail. We need to failfast with a useful error message.
