Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Waldbieser, Carl" <>]

On a system with its own cron-like service, you can just set up a jon to fire 
off a GSH script to create folders based on some criteria.  Depending on your 
needs, it could be simple or complex.

Subject: RE: [grouper-users] Admin UI Troubles

Chuck,

There are some things the Admin and UI does that the new UI doesn’t…  e.g. 
work with types and attributes of groups… hmmm, thought there was something 
else, if I find the document that describes this will let you  know ☺

But yes, the basics there there.

If you have the stack you got when using the latest JDK please let me know.

The loader works with groups, so if you can (or want to) create a dummy group 
or something in the folders it will work ☺  If you need this feature please 
give me the specifics and I can open a jira, though not sure when that would 
get done.  Anyone else on the list interested in this?

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: Re: [grouper-users] Admin UI Troubles

We're using the Tomcat that came with the installer, 6.0.35, at this point.  
We are however running the very latest JDK, freshly downloaded from Oracle 
just the other day.  Everything seems happy, except the Admin UI.  I think we 
are figuring out that we don't need the Admin UI though.  The new UI is the 
way to do everything now, right?  There isn't anything in the Admin UI that 
can't be theoretically done in the "New UI"?

My next question I'm struggling to answer, and it probably needs it's own 
thread, is about Dynamic Folder creation.  Is there a way to create 
sub-folders dynamically, say using grouper-loader and some sql?  Something 
similar to creating groups this way?

Are you using tomcat 7?  Try tomcat 6.

If you run the installer it will show you how to start all the services... 
(if you have specific questions let me know :) )

Thanks,

Subject: [grouper-users] Admin UI Troubles

We're bringing up a test box here at USU and the install went perfectly.
We're running on a windows platform at the moment, anticipating some hooks
that will fire Powershell scripts.

Everything is default.  We are running hsqldb, the packaged tomcat & ant, etc
etc.

After a reboot we lost the initial startup of everything and realized we
hadn't logged the install to see what it was starting up and how.  Okay, we
set about starting everything up and building startup tasks and services.  We
have successfully done this with tomcat and hsqldb.

hsqldb
C:\grouper>java -cp grouper.apiBinary-2.2.1\lib\jdbcSamples\hsqldb.jar
org.hsqldb.Server -database.0 file:grouper.apiBinary-2.2.1\grouper -dbname.0
grouper

Tomcat
C:\grouper\apache-tomcat-6.0.35\bin>startup.bat start

This seems sufficient to bring the UI to life.  ...except for the 'Admin UI'
link.  Here we just get a general Tomcat message (http 500) that something
went wrong.  My initial thoughts are we must be missing something in
webservices that needs to be up, or maybe we need a grouper shell service
running or some other item we haven't started yet.  But reviewing the logs we
see this message repeated everywhere.

What are we missing in bringing grouper, in general, and specifically the
"Admin UI" back online?  I haven't managed to find the right wiki article or
user post that gives a list of how to start the individual services.  Is that
out there somewhere yet?  Just a quick list of Here's all the Grouper services
and how to start/restart/shutdown each that I've missed somewhere?

Thanks,
