Zip Download
The source files can be downloaded in a zip file
  • Download Location:    SSP-Platform-2-4-1.zip     ("SSP Platform" is a portal application which acts container for SSP itself. The two applications are versioned independently. By default, version 2.4.0 of SSP Platform will include version 2.4.0 of SSP.)
  • Unzip the file into a suitable path (e.g. on Windows C:\ssp\platform-src or on Unix/Linux/Mac /usr/local/ssp/platform-src)

Code Block
*** When running a database initialization ant target (initportal, initdb), you need to specify SSP_CONFIGDIR if it isn't already specified as an env var. 

E.g on *nix.... $> SSP_CONFIGDIR=/opt/ssp/sspconfig ant -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean <target> 

Most Common Commands

- BuildRe/Initialize entirethe uPortal (incl. all wars), deploy entire uPortal, antSSP-Platform database, then run the equivalent of deploy-ear. Destructive! -Appropriate Build the full site and database, ant initportal (Warning- this will reset the entire uPortal database)


Other deployment optionsfor first-time deployments.

  $> SSP_CONFIGDIR=/opt/ssp/sspconfig ant -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean initportal

- Build and deploy entire SSP-Platform portal, including SSP:

  $> SSP_CONFIGDIR=/opt/ssp/sspconfig ant -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean deploy-ear


Other commonly used ant targets:

testdb: Tests the database settings and connectivity

initdb: Drop uPortalSSP-Platform tables in the db & recreate them with configured seed data (src/main/data, not including the "quickstart" folder).

deploy-war: Build & deploy _just the uPortalSSP-Platform war_ (i.e. not SSP or other portlets, etc.).

deployPortletApp: Deploy one (already-built) portlet war file to Tomcat (example ant deploPortletApp -DportletApp=..\/SSP-Open-Source-Project/target/ssp.war)
Info
titleNOTE
This command will download the SSP .war file and bundle it into the output of the SSP-Platform build
)

6. Production Deployment Tips

  • Warning
    titleDelete Demo Users

    If you are deploying to upgrading a production environment, you should delete or change the passwords for the uPortal users created for demonstration purposes, including the admin user. This can be done through the user interface: Manage Users ->  Find an Existing User -> [Enter user ID from list below] -> [Click result] -> > Delete or  or Edit, then change password. Demo users:

    admin

    • advisor0
    • ken
    • student0
    • student1

    This is only necessary for upgrades. A fresh 2.4.1 install will not create these users.

    A fresh install should also either change the admin user's password or add some other user to the Portal Administrators group and delete the admin user.
