Deploy Server Components

Back to index page

To complete the server side deployment, you will need the following installation files:

JChemSearchBackend.wsp
jcsadm.exe

 

Deployment steps:

1.Copy the JChemSearchBackend.wsp to SharePoint 2010 Server machine.
2.Copy the jcsadm.exe to SharePoint 2010 Server machine.
3.Open a command prompt with administrator rights
4.Run the following command:

 

jcsadm.exe -o addsolution -filename JChemSearchBackend.wsp

 

Note: jcsadm.exe and JChemSearchBackend.wsp should be in the same folder to be able to run the command how it is described above. Otherwise you should type the file's full path. Take care the spaces when using full path. Best practice is to always type the full path between quotes.

 

Note:  Alternatively, "addsolutions" operation can be used too, to deploy the two SharePoint solutions together. For more information please check the addsolutions section in the appendix.

 

If the command completed successfully, the result should be:

 

jcsadm_addsolution_backend

 

5.Open the SharePoint Central Administration
6.Navigate to "System Settings / Manage farm solutions"
7.Click jchemsearchbackend.wsp. You should see something like this picture:

 

central_admin_deploy_wsp

8.Click "Deploy Solution"
9.The following screen will appear:

 

central_admin_deploy_globally_wsp

 

The deployment can be scheduled to any time if needed. This package will be deployed to the Central Administration.

10. After setting the schedule, click "OK" button. The solution is deployed:

 

central_admin_back_deployed_wsp

 

11. Navigate to "Central Administration / Manage service applications"
12. Click "New" button on the ribbon control and choose "JChem Search Service Application"
13.A new dialog will open.

 

new_app_service_dialog_1

 

14. Fill the input controls. All of the input fields needs to be filled.
15. After the input fields filled, push the Validate button below. If the validation was successful, the following screen appears:

 

new_app_service_dialog_2

 

Possible problems at first run

First time, when you run the service application create wizard, the validation probably will not succeed, since the JChem For SharePoint Search database is not created in the oracle instance.

 

Difference between the multi server farm deployment and one server farm deployment

In multi server farm environment the validate button will not validate the following:

JChem version
JChem license
JChem Windows Service

 

How to solve the missing JChem database problem

If you are facing to JChem Database validation error, you can click the "Create Database" button, and create a new empty JChem For SharePoint Search database.    

 

Warning: If there is already created a JChem For SharePoint Search database, then clicking the "Create Database" button is going to delete all the existing data in the database!

 

16. Then click the "Validate" button again. If the validation was successful, click the "OK" button.
