- There is a configuration build_env.sh file which allows changing things like which version of each package will be installed. This is executed at the beginning of each script that will be run by install_support_all.sh. At any time, the current version of these tools may change to adapt for a new provided feature or to just ensure that new builds use the latest possible version of a tool to avoid a stale environment which falls far behind the current version of each tool.

### Removing Test system
Often in the development of Data Management system components it will be necessary to remove/reload components of the system. The script _dm/_remove/_test/_test/_system.sh_ in the sbin directory of the 'dm' repository (/local/DataManagement/dev/sbin from the directory describe above) issues commands to clear out database & configurations to allow creating a clean installation of the system.

The installed development system has a few tools for managing the system. This section describes some of the available tools and process ideas for the system. The next section will describe some steps to walk through final setup and use.
- A web portal which should now be up and running at the URL https://localhost:8181/dm. This portal is powered by a Payara application server which has its own setup page at https://localhost:4848 (once configured above, you may not need to do much with the Payara config page).

- A set of command-line scripts for manipulating the system. THese commands are made accessible by sourcing the file DM_INSTALL_DIR/etc/dm.setup.sh (Note there are some definitions that are blank in the default version of this file).
- There are also a couple of underlying databases holding the data.

## Setup of Development/Test Data Management System on Multiple Nodes
In a typical setup, it is necessary to install the Data Mangement System on multiple nodes. Centralizining overall long term data storage for instance would argue that the Data Storage Service on one, or possibly a small set of, server(s). On a given experiemnt, it may be necessary to have more than one DAQ node to deal with different detectors. This document will describe a two node setup. These nodes will be

### Computer setup.
In production at APS we are using RedHat Enterprise Linux 7 on all machines. For development we are using either RHEL 7 (centrally managed by IT group) machines or CentOS 7 machines (user managed and installed as a VirtualBox VM). When installing, we are typically selecting a devolopment workstation configuration as a starting point for work. In addition to this, a number of requirements have been put together and can be found [here](https://confluence.aps.anl.gov/display/DMGT/DM+Station+System+Requirements). When using VirtualBox, once the OS has completed this system can be cloned to make additional machines with the same configuration. It is therefore recommended to keep a copy of the VM to use as a starting point to repeat the work done.

It is therefore recommended to keep a copy of the VM to use as a starting point to repeat the work done.
The typical multiple node VM setup uses two network interfaces. These interfaces are configured in the VirtualBox setup. The first network interface is configured as a generic NAT connection which will allow the VM to access the public network in order to facilitate support tool downloads during installation. This would allow also access to facility resources if it is required. This could be used to extend the __DM__ system to connect to facility resources such as the aps\_db\_web\_service which provides access to systems such as the APS Experiment Safety Assment Form (ESAF), System and Beamline Scheduling System (BSS). The second network interface is configured as a 'Host-only Adapter' on the 'vboxnet0' network. This interface will be used to set up the systems to communicate with each other.

The __DM__ System installation process will use the 'hostname -f' command to get the system name. The host name is used by the __DM__ system when configuring services to make them available 'publicly' on the 'Host-only Adapter' network. This makes services available to the other VMs running on the 'vboxnet0' network. In order for the to recieve names for each system during network setup, the hostname must be set for each system. The system hostname on a CentOS system can be set with the hostnamectl command. In a multiple node environment VMs will also need some form of name resolution for the VM nodes in the system. This can be acheived by adding node entries in /etc/hosts file. __Once the node names are changed reboot the sytem.__

The DM installation process uses scp to transfer some files (such as Certificate Authority files) from one node to another during the setup process. To facilitate this process, ssh-keys should be generated for the different nodes and be copied into the authorized key files on the data-storage node. On both of these systems the following command will generate a set of RSA key files.
