How to setup eADC in OpenNCP

In order to correctly setup eADC in your NCP instance you need to accomplish a set of steps described bellow:

1. Copy eADC resources to your EPSOS PROPS PATH

In order to properly function, you need to copy a set of resources needed by EADC, you must place the folder name EADC_resources at you EPSOS_PROPS_PATH location (Note: this folder is already provided inside epsos-configuration folder).

This folder contains the following directory structure and elements:

Folder Name	Description	Content	Needed in EPSOS_PROPS_PATH
config	Contains files related to the EADC configuration, namely the information extraction rules, specific for each country.	config.xml	YES
db	Contains several database related items, specially the database creation scripts and a sample of database configuration file.	CREATE_EADC.sql DROP_EADC.sql	NO
demo	Contains a sample of a Transaction XML, not needed for configuration purposes.	TransactionDemo.xml	NO
doc	Contains some html documentation about the eADC component, inherited from previous versions.	index.html Images folder	NO
schema	Contains multiple xml schemas required by the eADC component.	Multiple *.XSD files	YES
xslt	Contains XLST files required for the transformation processes that occur inside eADC.	factory.xslt	YES

After copying the required folder to the EPSOS_PROPS_PATH you may delete the folders labeled as "Not Required" in the previous table.

You will end with a folder structure like this one:

EPSOS_PROPS_PATH
|--	EADC_resources
|	|-- config
|	|	+-- config.xml
|	|-- schema
|	|	|-- *.xsd
|	|	+-- *.xsd
|	+-- xslt
|		+-- factory.xslt
+-- ...

You may find this folder to download at the attachments section available at the end of this page.

2. Create the database to hold eADC information

You must create a database to hold the information extracted by the eADC. In order to do that you should use the provided SQL script, called "CREATE_EADC.sql", available at the EADC_resources folder (present in the Downloads section of this page).

3. Setup database connections

The database configuration of eADC is done to the application container configuration where eADC will be run. eADC expects following JNDI resources (type of Datasources) to be found: jdbc/EADC_XCPD, jdbc/EADC_XDR and jdbc/EADC_XCA. Below is an example configuration (TOMCAT_HOME/conf/context.xml) for Apache Tomcat 6 server.

</Context>

As you noticed, there are 3 entries to each of the profiles, this allows you to have separate databases to each one. But if you prefer, you may have all pointing at the same database. What you should keep is the configuration structure and all the 3 entries.

Correct place for the configuration file:

TOMCAT_HOME
|--	bin
|-- conf
|	+-- context.xml
