CLAIMS Direct Software Installation
Using the Claims Direct Repository
IFI CLAIMS provides yum software repositories to make installation simple. Currently, CentOS 7 and Fedora 25 are covered but we are always expanding the distributions covered.
First, install the necessary repository configuration files:
# CentOS 7 needs an additional repository yum -y install epel-release # See full URLs above yum -y install https://repo.ificlaims.com/ifi-alexandria/<distribution>/ifi-claims-direct...
Next, update the system:
yum -y update # this update should pull libxml2 from our repository
Finally, install the Alexandria::Client::Tools:
yum -y install perl-Alexandria-Client-Tools # will pull in perl-Alexandria-Library
Manual Module Installation (Not Recommended)
CLAIMS Direct software is a collection of Perl modules that interact with both the alexandria database and SOLR index to facilitate database updates from the primary server. Although not a requirement, it is highly recommended that a working cpan repository be enabled for automatic dependency resolution.
Enter the cpan configuration utility: cpan Would you like to configure as much as possible automatically? [yes] yes <== What approach do you want? (Choose 'local::lib', 'sudo' or 'manual') [local::lib] sudo <== Would you like me to automatically choose some CPAN mirror sites for you? (This means connecting to the Internet) [yes] yes <== cpan[1]> exit
Download the Client Library and Tools Packages
Please contact support@ificlaims.com for the newest available versions.
Installing the Client Library
tar zxvf Alexandria-Library-x.x.tar.gz cd Alexandria-Library-x.x perl Makefile.PL --alldeps make # NOTE: if, during the course of dependency resolution, you are prompted to accept an install, please accept (yes|y) make test # last line of output should be # Result: PASS make install
Custom Configuration
The CLAIMS Direct software requires a main configuration file named "alexandria.xml" and "alexandria-log.conf". Default files are available under /usr/local/share/perl5/Alexandria/resources/. These should be positioned globally so all tools have access.
cp /usr/local/share/perl5/Alexandria/resources/*.* /etc
It is unnecessary to edit /etc/alexandria.xml, but feel free to customize logging (/etc/alexandria-log.conf). See http://search.cpan.org/~mschilli/Log-Log4perl-1.42/lib/Log/Log4perl.pm#Configuration_files
Installing Client Tools
tar zxvf Alexandria-Client-Tools-x.x.tar.gz cd Alexandria-Client-Tools-x.x perl Makefile.PL --alldeps make # NOTE: if, during the course of dependency resolution, you are prompted to accept an install, please accept (yes|y) make test # last line of output should be # Result: PASS make install
