Workdesk - Human Ressources Application error

luigi

Hi,

I have downloaded the Alfresco Community 4.2.e <i>"Custom Instal"</i> and Alfresco Workdesk Community 4.1.1.1.
The simple deploy of Workdesk folder on my Apache Tomcat web server working fine:
at http://localhost:8080/workdesk i am able to login with my share credential.

But if I try to install Human Ressources Application, when run install-owd-hr.bat

c:\app\Human Resources Application>install-workdesk-hr.bat -ap c:\develop\apache-tomcat-7.0.47_previp\webapps\alfresco -u admin -p admin
‍‍‍

I got the message

Exception in thread "main" com.wewebu.ooa.OwOAIncompatibleAfrescoException: 
The Alfresco deployment at c:\develop\apache-tomcat-7.0.47_previp\webapps\alfresco 
is not compatible with this version of the 
Workdesk Human Resources Application installer!
        at com.wewebu.ooa.OwOpenAir.install(OwOpenAir.java:53)
        at com.wewebu.ooa.OwOpenAir.main(OwOpenAir.java:279) 
        
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Note:
I have Windows 7 and I run command line window (cmd.exe) as administrator.

Any ideas ?

Hello,

well, the error message is pretty precise. The version of the Workdesk Human Resources application does not support the particular Alfresco version you are using. I think there is a note in the Readme that only Alfresco Community 4.2c (and below) has been tested.

As far as I remember, this could also be a problem with you having done a "custom install" of Alfresco instead of running the installer. When I tried out Workdesk and the HR application the first time (and I <b>always</b> do a custom install, installer is just for end-user evals IMHO), it did not work on my installation and I had to tinker a bit - i.e. modify the HR application installer script so it would just bootstrap the contents after I manually deployed the model and Spring context files. I vaguely remember that the installer checks for a specific folder structure that results from the installer, but which you may not have if doing a custom install.

Regards
Axel

Thank you very much for the prompt reply Axel.
I have also a Bitnami installation (4.2.e) and the result is the same.
I'll try a 4.2.c !

Bye

Hi Luigi,

I guess the problem is the Alfresco path you define while starting the importer batch file. The importer was made to support Alfresco Communtiy standard installations, where you would reference to C:\Alfresco only for example.

The tool itselfs is then going through the standard installation subfolders, for example it is traversing from C:/Alfresco down to /tomcat/webapps to locate the alfresco.war file there and deploy the custom Human Resources content models.

Your path is currently defined as

c:\develop\apache-tomcat-7.0.47_previp\webapps\alfresco
‍‍‍

So if you would rename your tomcat folder from apache-tomcat-7.0.47_previp to tomcat (be aware that automated services might have to be changed also), your folder structure would be equal to an standard Alfresco community installation:

c:\develop\tomcat\webapps\alfresco
‍‍‍

You then should be able to run the importer using following ap parameter only:

-ap c:\develop
‍‍‍

Could you try this approach please and give feedback? I don´t know your custom installation structure, but you might run into other problems then, as your custom installation might miss the tomcat/shared structure for extensions, which comes with a standard Alfresco installation.

Best regards,
deko

hi deko,

thanks very much for your valuable suggestion.

After rename "apache-tomcat-7.0.47_previp" in "tomcat"
begins the process but ends with this error:

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

so i put a simple servicerun.bat in c:\develop with this content:

@echo off
rem START or STOP Services
rem ———————————-
rem Check if argument is STOP or START

set "CATALINA_HOME=C:\develop\tomcat"

if not ""%1"" == ""START"" goto stop
if exist C:\develop\tomcat\bin\startup.bat (start C:\develop\tomcat\bin\startup.bat)

goto end

:stop
echo "Stopping services …"
if exist C:\develop\tomcat\bin\shutdown.bat (start C:\develop\tomcat\bin\shutdown.bat)

:end
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and then the process is completed successfully

Well done Luigi and thanks to you also!

Now we know the process how to run the installer for custom Alfresco Community installations 😉 (The installer never was developped for this special case).

Hope you can enjoy Alfresco Workdesk and the HR scenario now.

Best regards,
Deko
