I'm trying to get the Appian 7.7 search server deployed under JBoss EAP 6.3

... VALUE>


Starting JBoss returns the following log entries:

10:19:35,771 INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment.scanner] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 1) JBAS015014: Re-attempting failed deployment appian-ds.xml

... for details.

Can anyone see if I've missed something here? Thanks!

You need to add the deployment-scanner subsystem to standalone.xml and not appian-ds.xml

Hi Abhi, apologies; I typed the wrong file name - I did add the config lines to the standalone.xml as required!

I think this is a red herring - after experimentation I've found that the path="${appian.home.ear}" declaration wont resolve in my environment, so posting another thread for help with that.

It seems that your last question has been already answered here forum.appian.com/.../e-128477 and it was related to not using the start-up files that our documentation provides; those files are important since they set the environment variables that are used to resolve appian.home.ear and appian.home.search-server

Hi Eduardo, exactly true. The zip extraction I used had extracted the files into a folder within \\bin, not directly into it, so no overwriting had taken place.
