+APEX Installation Guide
+***********************
+
+.. contents::
+ :depth: 3
+
+Requirements
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ .. container:: sectionbody
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ APEX is 100% written in Java and runs on any platform that
+ supports a JVM, e.g. Windows, Unix, Cygwin. Some APEX
+ applications (such as the monitoring application) come as
+ web archives, they do require a war-capable web server
+ installed.
+
+Installation Requirements
+-------------------------
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - Downloaded distribution: JAVA runtime environment
+ (JRE, Java 8 or later, APEX is tested with the Oracle
+ Java)
+
+ - Building from source: JAVA development kit (JDK, Java
+ 8 or later, APEX is tested with the Oracle Java)
+
+ - A web archive capable webserver, for instance for the
+ monitoring application
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - for instance `Apache
+ Tomcat <https://tomcat.apache.org/>`__
+
+ - Sufficient rights to install APEX on the system
+
+ - Installation tools depending on the installation
+ method used:
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - ZIP to extract from a ZIP distribution
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - Windows for instance
+ `7Zip <http://www.7-zip.org/>`__
+
+ - TAR and GZ to extract from that TAR.GZ
+ distribution
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - Windows for instance
+ `7Zip <http://www.7-zip.org/>`__
+
+ - RPM to install from the RPM distribution
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - Install: ``sudo apt-get install rpm``
+
+ - DPKG to install from the DEB distribution
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - Install: ``sudo apt-get install dpkg``
+
+Feature Requirements
+--------------------
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ APEX supports a number of features that require extra
+ software being installed.
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - `Apache Kafka <https://kafka.apache.org/>`__ to
+ connect APEX to a Kafka message bus
+
+ - `Hazelcast <https://hazelcast.com/>`__ to use
+ distributed hash maps for context
+
+ - `Infinispan <http://infinispan.org/>`__ for
+ distributed context and persistence
+
+ - `Docker <https://www.docker.com/>`__ to run APEX
+ inside a Docker container
+
+Build (Install from Source) Requirements
+----------------------------------------
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ Installation from source requires a few development tools
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - GIT to retrieve the source code
+
+ - Java SDK, Java version 8 or later
+
+ - Apache Maven 3 (the APEX build environment)
+
+Get the APEX Source Code
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ .. container:: sectionbody
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ The first APEX source code was hosted on Github in January
+ 2018. By the end of 2018, APEX was added as a project in the
+ ONAP Policy Framework, released later in the ONAP Casablanca
+ release.
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ The APEX source code is hosted in ONAP as project APEX. The
+ current stable version is in the master branch. Simply clone
+ the master branch from ONAP using HTTPS.
+
+ .. container:: listingblock
+
+ .. container:: content
+
+ .. code:: bash
+ :number-lines:
+
+ git clone https://gerrit.onap.org/r/policy/apex-pdp
+
+Build APEX
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ .. container:: sectionbody
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ The examples in this document assume that the APEX source
+ repositories are cloned to:
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - Unix, Cygwin: ``/usr/local/src/apex-pdp``
+
+ - Windows: ``C:\dev\apex-pdp``
+
+ - Cygwin: ``/cygdrive/c/dev/apex-pdp``
+
+ .. important::
+ A Build requires ONAP Nexus
+ APEX has a dependency to ONAP parent projects. You might need to adjust your Maven M2 settings. The most current
+ settings can be found in the ONAP oparent repo: `Settings <https://git.onap.org/oparent/plain/settings.xml>`__.
+
+ .. important::
+ A Build needs Space
+ Building APEX requires approximately 2-3 GB of hard disc space, 1 GB for the actual build with full distribution and 1-2 GB for
+ the downloaded dependencies
+
+ .. important::
+ A Build requires Internet (for first build)
+ During the build, several (a lot) of Maven dependencies will be downloaded and stored in the configured local Maven
+ repository. The first standard build (and any first specific build) requires Internet access to download those dependencies.
+
+ .. important::
+ Building RPM distributions
+ RPM images are only build if the ``rpm`` package is installed (Unix). To install ``rpm`` run ``sudo apt-get install rpm``,
+ then build APEX.
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ Use Maven to for a standard build without any tests.

+
+Install APEX
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ APEX can be installed in different ways:
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - Unix: automatically using ``rpm`` or ``dpkg`` from ``.rpm``
+ or ``.deb`` archive
+
+ - Windows, Unix, Cygwin: manually from a ``.tar.gz`` archive
+
+ - Windows, Unix, Cygwin: build from source using Maven, then
+ install manually
+
+Install with RPM and DPKG
+-------------------------
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ The install distributions of APEX automatically install the
+ system. The installation directory is
+ ``/opt/app/policy/apex-pdp``. Log files are located in
+ ``/var/log/onap/policy/apex-pdp``. The latest APEX version
+ will be available as ``/opt/app/policy/apex-pdp/apex-pdp``.
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ For the installation, a new user ``apexuser`` and a new
+ group ``apexuser`` will be created. This user owns the
+ installation directories and the log file location. The user
+ is also used by the standard APEX start scripts to run APEX
+ with this user’s permissions.

++--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+.. container:: paragraph
+
+ Once the installation is finished, APEX is fully installed and ready
+ to run.
+
+Install Manually from Archive (Unix, Cygwin)
+--------------------------------------------
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ Download a ``tar.gz`` archive. Create a directory where APEX
+ should be installed. Extract the ``tar`` archive. The following
+ example shows how to install APEX in ``/opt/apex`` and create a
+ link to ``/opt/apex/apex`` for the most recent installation.
+
+ .. container:: listingblock
+
+ .. container:: content
+
+ .. code:: bash

+ # ln -s apex apex-pdp-package-full-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT
+
+Install Manually from Archive (Windows, 7Zip, GUI)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ Download a ``tar.gz`` archive and copy the file into the install
+ folder (in this example ``C:\apex``). Assuming you are using 7Zip,
+ right click on the file and extract the ``tar`` archive. Note: the
+ screenshots might show an older version than you have.
+
+ .. container:: imageblock
+
+ .. container:: content
+
+ |Extract the TAR archive|
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ The right-click on the new created TAR file and extract the actual
+ APEX distribution.
+
+ .. container:: imageblock
+
+ .. container:: content
+
+ |Extract the APEX distribution|
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ Inside the new APEX folder you see the main directories: ``bin``,
+ ``etc``, ``examples``, ``lib``, and ``war``
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ Once extracted, please rename the created folder to
+ ``apex-full-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT``. This will keep the directory name in
+ line with the rest of this documentation.
+
+Install Manually from Archive (Windows, 7Zip, CMD)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ Download a ``tar.gz`` archive and copy the file into the install
+ folder (in this example ``C:\apex``). Start ``cmd``, for instance
+ typing ``Windows+R`` and then ``cmd`` in the dialog. Assuming
+ ``7Zip`` is installed in the standard folder, simply run the
+ following commands (for APEX version 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT full
+ distribution)
+
+ .. container:: listingblock
+
+ .. container:: content
+
+ .. code:: bash
+ :number-lines:
+
+ >c:
+ >cd \apex
+ >"\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x apex-pdp-package-full-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz -so | "\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x -aoa -si -ttar -o"apex-full-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT"
+
+.. container:: paragraph
+
+ APEX is now installed in the folder
+ ``C:\apex\apex-full-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT``.
+
+Build from Source
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Build and Install Manually (Unix, Windows, Cygwin)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ Clone the APEX GIT repositories into a directory. Go to that
+ directory. Use Maven to build APEX (all details on building
+ APEX from source can be found in *APEX HowTo: Build*).
+ Install from the created artifacts (``rpm``, ``deb``,
+ ``tar.gz``, or copying manually).
+
+ .. important::
+ Building RPM distributions
+ RPM images are only build if the ``rpm`` package is installed (Unix). To install ``rpm`` run ``sudo apt-get install rpm``,
+ then build APEX.
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ The following example shows how to build the APEX system,
+ without tests (``-DskipTests``) to safe some time. It
+ assumes that the APX GIT repositories are cloned to:
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - Unix, Cygwin: ``/usr/local/src/apex``
+
+ - Windows: ``C:\dev\apex``
+

+
+ The build takes about 2 minutes without test and about 4-5 minutes
+ with tests on a standard development laptop. It should run through
+ without errors, but with a lot of messages from the build process. If

+ messages and stack trace prints from some tests. This is normal, as
+ long as the build finishes successful.

+ Now, take the ``.deb`` or the ``.tar.gz`` file and install APEX.
+ Alternatively, copy the content of the folder ``install_hierarchy``
+ to your APEX directory.
+
+Installation Layout
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+

+
+System Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ Once APEX is installed, a few configurations need to be done:
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - Create an APEX user and an APEX group (optional, if not
+ installed using RPM and DPKG)
+
+ - Create environment settings for ``APEX_HOME`` and
+ ``APEX_USER``, required by the start scripts
+
+ - Change settings of the logging framework (optional)
+
+ - Create directories for logging, required (execution might
+ fail if directories do not exist or cannot be created)
+
+APEX User and Group
+-------------------
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ On smaller installations and test systems, APEX can run as
+ any user or group.
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ However, if APEX is installed in production, we strongly
+ recommend you set up a dedicated user for running APEX. This
+ will isolate the execution of APEX to that user. We
+ recommend you use the userid ``apexuser`` but you may use
+ any user you choose.
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ The following example, for UNIX, creates a group called
+ ``apexuser``, an APEX user called ``apexuser``, adds the
+ group to the user, and changes ownership of the APEX
+ installation to the user. Substitute ``<apex-dir>`` with the
+ directory where APEX is installed.
+
+ .. container:: listingblock
+
+ .. container:: content
+
+ .. code:: bash
+ :number-lines:
+
+ # sudo groupadd apexuser
+ # sudo useradd -g apexuser apexuser
+ # sudo chown -R apexuser:apexuser <apex-dir>
+
+.. container:: paragraph
+
+ For other operating systems please consult your manual or system
+ administrator.
+
+Environment Settings: APEX_HOME and APEX_USER
+---------------------------------------------
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ The provided start scripts for APEX require two environment
+ variables being set:
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - ``APEX_USER`` with the user under whos name and permission APEX
+ should be started (Unix only)
+
+ - ``APEX_HOME`` with the directory where APEX is installed (Unix,
+ Windows, Cygwin)
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ The first row in the following table shows how to set these
+ environment variables temporary (assuming the user is
+ ``apexuser``). The second row shows how to verify the settings.
+ The last row explains how to set those variables permanently.

+Verify the APEX Installation
+############################
+
+ .. container:: sectionbody
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ When APEX is installed and all settings are realized, the
+ installation can be verified.
+
+Verify Installation - run Engine
+--------------------------------
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ A simple verification of an APEX installation can be done by
+ simply starting the APEX engine without any configuration.
+ On Unix (or Cygwin) start the engine using
+ ``$APEX_HOME/bin/apexEngine.sh``. On Windows start the
+ engine using ``%APEX_HOME%\bin\apexEngine.bat``. The engine
+ will fail to fully start. However, if the output looks
+ similar to the following line, the APEX installation is
+ realized.

+Verify Installation - run an Example
+------------------------------------
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ A full APEX installation comes with several examples. Here, we can
+ fully verify the installation by running one of the examples.
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ We use the example called *SampleDomain* and configure the engine
+ to use standard in and standard out for events. Run the engine
+ with the provided configuration. Note: Cygwin executes scripts as
+ Unix scripts but runs Java as a Windows application, thus the
+ configuration file must be given as a Windows path.

+.. container:: paragraph
+
+ Terminate APEX by simply using ``CTRL+C`` in the console.
+
+Verify a Full Installation - REST Editor
+----------------------------------------
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ APEX has a REST application for viewing policy models. The
+ application can also be used to create new policy models close to
+ the engine native policy language. Start the REST editor as
+ follows.
+
+ .. container:: listingblock
+
+ .. container:: content
+
+ .. code:: bash
+ :number-lines:
+
+ # $APEX_HOME/bin/apexApps.sh rest-editor
+
+.. container:: listingblock
+
+ .. container:: content
+
+ .. code:: bash
+ :number-lines:
+
+ >%APEX_HOME%\bin\apexApps.bat rest-editor
+
+.. container:: paragraph
+
+ The script will start a simple web server
+ (`Grizzly <https://javaee.github.io/grizzly/>`__) and deploy a
+ ``war`` web archive in it. Once the editor is started, it will be
+ available on ``localhost:18989``. The last few line of the messages
+ should be:
+
+.. container:: listingblock
+
+ .. container:: content
+
+ .. code:: bash
+ :number-lines:
+
+ Apex Editor REST endpoint (ApexEditorMain: Config=[ApexEditorParameters: URI=http://localhost:18989/apexservices/, TTL=-1sec], State=READY) starting at http://localhost:18989/apexservices/ . . .

+ Apex Editor REST endpoint (ApexEditorMain: Config=[ApexEditorParameters: URI=http://localhost:18989/apexservices/, TTL=-1sec], State=RUNNING) started at http://localhost:18989/apexservices/
+
+.. container:: paragraph
+
+ Now open a browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer) and
+ use the URL ``http://localhost:18989/``. This will connect the
+ browser to the started REST editor. The start screen should be as
+ follows.
+
+.. container:: imageblock
+
+ .. container:: content
+
+ |REST Editor Start Screen|
+
+ .. container:: title
+
+ Figure 1. REST Editor Start Screen
+
+.. container:: paragraph
+
+ Now load a policy model by clicking the menu ``File`` and then
+ ``Open``. In the opened dialog, go to the directory where APEX is
+ installed, then ``examples``, ``models``, ``SampleDomain``, and there
+ select the file ``SamplePolicyModelJAVA.json``. This will load the
+ policy model used to verify the policy engine (see above). Once
+ loaded, the screen should look as follows.
+
+.. container:: imageblock
+
+ .. container:: content
+
+ |REST Editor with loaded SampleDomain Policy Model|
+
+ .. container:: title
+
+ Figure 2. REST Editor with loaded SampleDomain Policy Model
+
+.. container:: paragraph
+
+ Now you can use the REST editor. To finish this verification, simply
+ terminate your browser (or the tab), and then use ``CTRL+C`` in the
+ console where you started the REST editor.
+
+Installing WAR Applications
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ .. container:: sectionbody
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ APEX comes with a set of WAR files. These are complete
+ applications that can be installed and run in an application
+ server. All of these applications are realized as servlets. You
+ can find the WAR applications in ``$APEX_HOME/war`` (UNIX,
+ Cygwin) or ``%APEX_HOME%\war`` (Windows).
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ Installing and using the WAR applications requires a web server
+ that can execute ``war`` web archives. We recommend to use
+ `Apache Tomcat <https://tomcat.apache.org/>`__, however other
+ web servers can be used as well.
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ Install Apache Tomcat including the ``Manager App``, see `V9.0
+ Docs <https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Configuring_Manager_Application_Access>`__
+ for details. Start the Tomcat service, or make sure that Tomcat
+ is running.
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ There are multiple ways to install the APEX WAR applications:
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - copy the ``.war`` file into the Tomcat ``webapps`` folder
+
+ - use the Tomcat ``Manager App`` to deploy via the web
+ interface
+
+ - deploy using a REST call to Tomcat
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ For details on how to install ``war`` files please consult the
+ `Tomcat
+ Documentation <https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/index.html>`__
+ or the `Manager App
+ HOW-TO <https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/manager-howto.html>`__.
+ Once you installed an APEX WAR application (and wait for
+ sufficient time for Tomcat to finalize the installation), open
+ the ``Manager App`` in Tomcat. You should see the APEX WAR
+ application being installed and running.
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ In case of errors, examine the log files in the Tomcat log
+ directory. In a conventional install, those log files are in
+ the logs directory where Tomcat is installed.
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ The current APEX version provides the following WAR
+ applications:
+
+ .. container:: ulist
+
+ - client-deployment-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - a client to deploy
+ new policy models to a running engine
+
+ - client-editor-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - the standard policy REST
+ editor GUI
+
+ - client-monitoring-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - a client for
+ monitoring a running APEX engine
+
+ - client-full-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - a full client with a
+ one-stop-access to deployment, monitoring, and REST editor
+
+ - examples-servlet-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - an example APEX
+ servlet
+
+Running APEX in Docker
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ .. container:: sectionbody
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
+
+ Since APEX is in ONAP, we provide a full virtualization
+ environment for the engine.
+
+Run in ONAP
+-----------
+
+ .. container:: paragraph
