PDS-D Central Server

The Planetary Data System (PDS) Data Distribution System (PDS-D) uses the OODT Data Grid Framework 's profile and product servers for the location, discovery, and retrieval of planetary science data. This component provides the software necessary for the single point of entry servers, including the various profile servers, RMI registry, configuration files, and so forth. It should be installed on all (load-balancing) servers supporting the PDS-D web interface and server processes.

Installation Instructions

1. Run the command killall java followed by killall -9 java to stop and utterly destroy all Java processes on the system.
2. Delete any directory in /usr/local that starts with pds (or in other words, rm -rf /usr/local/pds* .
3. Run the following commands to delete any existing RC scripts:

   chkconfig --del pds
   rm -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pds /etc/rc.d/rc?.d/*pds

4. Install Tomcat 5.5.9 . Note that you will need to extract both the jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9.tar.gz and the jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9-compat.tar.gz tarballs into the same directory. Rename or symlink the directory as /usr/local/tomcat5 .
5. Edit the /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat5 script and ensure that the CATALINA_OPTS environment variable contains the following options:
   • -Djpl.oodt.servlets.ProductServlet.preferredNamespace=urn:eda:rmi:
   • -Xms256m
   • -Xmx512m
   • -Daliases=/usr/local/pds/etc/aliases.properties

   Simply separate each setting with a space when setting the environment variable.

6. Download the release tarball .
7. Extract the tarball into your /usr/local directory.
8. Copy the file /usr/local/pds/rc/pds to /etc/rc.d/init.d .
9. Run chkconfig --add pds .
10. Install the PDS profile servers .
11. Install any web applications.
12. Run /etc/rc.d/init.d/pds start to start the servers. You should see output similar to the following:
