Deploying Data Services via a GUI

To deploy a data service:

1. Run the following command from within the OGSA-DAI WSRF binary distribution directory:

   $ ant guiDeployService
   

2. A GUI will appear and you can select your Web services container by pressing the Select... button.
3. When you are happy with the Path press Next.
4. Now you will be asked to enter:
   • The local name of the data service, for example ogsadai/DataService, in the Name field. For example ogsadai/DataService specifies a data service whose URL will be http://HOST:PORT/wsrf/services/ogsadai/DataService.
   • Clicking on the Dynamically configurable? box requests that the data service support dynamic service configuration. See the pages on configurable data services and exposing data service resources via data services for more information.
   • You also have the option of specifying the support for concurrent requests that each resource exposed by the service will provide. This can be done via entering values in the following fields:
     • Maximum Requests specifies the number of requests that each resource can run concurrently. The default is 10.
     • Request Queue Length specifies the number of requests that each resource can queue if its maximum number of concurrent requests has been reached. Once an existing request completes the next request in the queue will start executing. The default is 20.
5. Press Next when you have entered this information.
6. You will now be requested to press Next so that the tool can deploy the data service.
   • If any problems occur then the tool will notify you of these.
7. When the deployment has completed a completion window will be displayed. Press Finish to exit the tool.
8. You will need to shutdown and restart your Web services container before clients are able to access the new data service.
