Installing features
- In the Feature Management page, click Available Features tab. Then, select a repository from the drop-down menu.
The following options can be selected.
Show only the latest versions
Some repositories contain multiple versions of features. If you are only interested in the latest versions, click the Show only the latest versions option.
Group features by category
A feature category is a logical grouping of the features that constitute a particular WSO2 product. Categorizing logically related features makes it easier for users to search and install related features together. You can select the entire list of features of a particular product at once. Under these product based feature categories, there are other feature categories based on the product features. If you un-check this option when finding features, you will see an uncategorized, flat feature list from which individual features can be selected separately. For example, the features required to install WSO2 Data Services Server is grouped under the Data Service Server feature category as shown below.
Once the repository and options are selected, click the Find Features button.
Info To find a particular feature, you can use the search box. Search only returns available, uninstalled features. It excludes the ones that are already installed.
From the list of features that appear, select the ones you want to add and click Install.
The Install Details page appears. Verify the provided information and click Next.
Read and accept the terms of license agreement.
The installation process starts. It may take a few minutes to download the necessary components.
Once the installation process is complete, click Finish and restart the server for the changes to take effect.
Go to the Installed Features tab to browse through the list of installed features.
Turning your product to a back-end/front-end server
- WSO2 products support back-end, front-end separation where you can manage multiple back-end servers using a single front-end server. You can convert a given product either to a back-end server or to a front-end server by removing the irrelevant features.
For example, if you want to get only a back-end server, you have to uninstall all the front-end features. To do that, select Front-end from the drop down menu as follows:
This lists all the front-end features that are currently installed in the system. - Select the features you want to remove and click Uninstall.
