The following sections give you information and instructions on  how to cluster the message broker profile of WSO2 EI with a third-party load balancer.  

...

  1. Download and install the MySQL Server.

  2. Download the MySQL JDBC driver.

  3. Download and unzip the WSO2 EI binary distribution. 

    Tip

    Throughout this guide, <EI_HOME> refers to the extracted directory of the WSO2 EI product distribution.

  4. Unzip the downloaded MySQL driver, and copy the MySQL JDBC driver JAR (mysql-connector-java-x.x.xx-bin.jar) to the <EI_HOME>/lib/ directory of both the WSO2 EI nodes.
  5. Add the following line to the /etc/hosts file to define the hostname for configuring permissions for the new database: <MYSQL-DB-SERVER-IP> carbondb.mysql-wso2.com

    Note

    Do this step only if your database is not on your local machine and on a separate server.

  6. Execute the following command in a terminal/command window, where username is the username you want to use to access the databases: mysql -u username -p
  7. Specify the password to access the databases with the username you specified when prompted.

  8. Create the databases using the following commands:

    Code Block
    languagesql
    mysql> create database WSO2_USER_DB;
    mysql> use WSO2_USER_DB;
    mysql> source <EI_HOME>/dbscripts/mysql.sql;
    mysql> grant all on WSO2_USER_DB.* TO regadmin@"carbondb.mysql-wso2.com" identified by "regadmin";
    
    mysql> create database REGISTRY_DB;
    mysql> use REGISTRY_DB;
    mysql> source <EI_HOME>/dbscripts/mysql.sql;
    mysql> grant all on REGISTRY_DB.* TO regadmin@"carbondb.mysql-wso2.com" identified by "regadmin";
    
    mysql> create database REGISTRY_LOCAL1;
    mysql> use REGISTRY_LOCAL1;
    mysql> source <EI_HOME>/dbscripts/mysql.sql;
    mysql> grant all on REGISTRY_LOCAL1.* TO regadmin@"carbondb.mysql-wso2.com" identified by "regadmin";
     
    mysql> create database REGISTRY_LOCAL2;
    mysql> use REGISTRY_LOCAL2;
    mysql> source <EI_HOME>/dbscripts/mysql.sql;
    mysql> grant all on REGISTRY_LOCAL2.* TO regadmin@"carbondb.mysql-wso2.com" identified 
    by "regadmin";
    Info
    titleAbout using MySQL in different operating systems

    For users of Microsoft Windows, when creating the database in MySQL, it is important to specify the character set as latin1. Failure to do this may result in an error (error code: 1709) when starting your cluster. This error occurs in certain versions of MySQL (5.6.x) and is related to the UTF-8 encoding. MySQL originally used the latin1 character set by default, which stored characters in a 2-byte sequence. However, in recent versions, MySQL defaults to UTF-8 to be friendlier to international users. Hence, you must use latin1 as the character set as indicated below in the database creation commands to avoid this problem. Note that this may result in issues with non-latin characters (like Hebrew, Japanese, etc.). The following is how your database creation command should look.

    mysql> create database <DATABASE_NAME> character set latin1;

    For users of other operating systems, the standard database creation commands will suffice. For these operating systems, the following is how your database creation command should look.

    mysql> create database <DATABASE_NAME>;
  9. Create and configure the MB_DB database, which is specific to the message broker profile using the following commands:

    Tip

    <EI_HOME> , username and password are the same as those you specified in the previous steps.

    Code Block
    languagesql
    mysql> create database wso2_mb;
    mysql> use wso2_mb;
    mysql> source <EI_HOME>/wso2/broker/dbscripts/mb-store/mysql-mb.sql;
    mysql> grant all on wso2_mb.* TO username@localhost identified by "password";

...

  1. Configure the datasources to point to the REGISTRY_LOCAL1WSO2_REGISTRY_DB, and WSO2_USER_DB databases as follows in the <EI_HOME>/wso2/broker/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml file as follows:

    Tip

    Replace the username, password, and database URL of your MySQL environment accordingly.

  2. Add the following configuration in the <EI_HOME>/wso2/broker/conf/user-mgt.xml file to configure the user stores. 

    Tip

    Enter the datasource information for the user store that you configured in the  <EI_HOME>/wso2/broker/conf/ datasources /master- datasources . xml file. You can change the admin username and password as well. However, you should do this before starting the server.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <Configuration>
        <AddAdmin>true</AddAdmin>
        <AdminRole>admin</AdminRole>
        <AdminUser>
            <UserName>admin</UserName>
            <Password>admin</Password>
        </AdminUser>
        <EveryOneRoleName>everyone</EveryOneRoleName>
        <Property name="dataSource">jdbc/WSO2UMDB</Property>
    </Configuration>
  3. Remove or uncomment the  default H2-based WSO2_MB_STORE_DB following configuration in the <EI_HOME>/wso2/broker/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml file.

            </configuration>
        </definition>
    </datasource>
  4. Uncomment or add the following WSO2_MB_STORE_DB configuration in the <EI_HOME>/wso2/broker/conf/datasources/master-datasources.xml file based on your DBMS type.

    Tip

    Update the JDBC URL to correctly point to your database and enter the username and password for your database user with the proper permissions.

  6. Edit the <EI_HOME>/wso2/broker/conf/axis2/axis2.xml file as follows to set up the cluster configurations.

    • Enable clustering for this node as follows: <clustering class="org.wso2.carbon.core.clustering.hazelcast.HazelcastClusteringAgent" enable="true">
    • Set the membership scheme to "wka" to enable the well-known address registration method. (This node sends cluster initiation messages to the WKA members): 
      <parameter name="membershipScheme">wka</parameter>
    • Specify the name of the cluster this node will join as folows: <parameter name="domain">wso2.ei.domain</parameter>
    • Specify the host to communicate cluster messages as follows: <parameter name="localMemberHost">xxx.xxx.xxx.xx2</parameter>
    • Specify the port to communicate cluster messages as follows: <parameter name="localMemberPort">4100</parameter>

      Info

      This port number is not affected by the port offset value specified in the  <EI_HOME>/wso2/broker/conf/carbon. xml file. If this port number is already assigned to another server, the clustering framework automatically increments this port number. However, if there are two servers running on the same machine, ensure that a unique port is set for each server.

    • Specify the well-known members as follows: (The port value for the WKA node must be the same value as it's localMemberPort (in this case it is 4100).

      Info

      You can also use IP address ranges for the hostname (e.g.,   192.168.1.2-10). However, you can define a range only for the last portion of the IP address. Smaller the range, the faster the time it takes to discover members since each node has to scan a lesser number of potential members.

  7. Add the following thrift-related configurations in the <EI_HOME>/wso2/broker/conf/broker.xml file.

    Tip

    This file is the root configuration file of brokering. Do the changes you do to this file in all the broker profile nodes. Configure the thriftServerHost value to point to the IP address of the message broker profile node.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <coordination>
        <nodeID>default</nodeID>
        <thriftServerHost>192.168.0.103</thriftServerHost>
        <thriftServerPort>7611</thriftServerPort>
    	<thriftSOTimeout>0</thriftSOTimeout>
    </coordination>

    ConfigurationDescription
    coordination

    This configuration is related to brokering thrift communications.

    nodeIDIn a clustered deployment, an ID is assigned to each brokering node via the cluster node identifier. This element can be used to override the cluster node identifier for this brokering node. If the value for this element is left as default, the default node ID is generated using the IP and a universally unique identifier (UUID). The node ID of each member in a cluster must be unique.
    thriftServerHost

    This is a sub-element of the <coordination> tag. WSO2 EI uses Apache Thrift for communications relating to message delivery. Therefore, an Apache Thrift server is started in each brokering node in a clustered deployment. This element should point to the IP address of the Apache Thrift server. This should point to the IP address of the brokering node that hosts the thrift server. The default value for this is localhost. For example, if you are configuring a brokering node hosted in 192.168.0.102 as the thrift server, this value should be 192.168.0.102.

    thriftServerPort

    This is another sub-element of the <coordination> tag. This should point to the port of the thrift server in the message broker profile. The default port is 7611. It is recommended to use this port for all broker nodes in your cluster

    thriftSOTimeout This is used to handle half-open TCP connections between the broker nodes in a cluster. In such situations, the socket may need to have a timeout value to invalidate the connection (in milliseconds). A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.
