Deploying Unica Audience Central on JBoss

You can deploy Unica products on JBoss application server. Use the following guidelines when you deploy Unica Audience Central on JBoss:

Procedure

Verify that your version of JBoss meets the requirements that are described in the Recommended Software Environments and Minimum System Requirements guide, including any necessary fix packs or upgrades.
HCL Marketing Software products customizes the JVM used by JBoss. You might need to create a JBoss instance that is dedicated to HCL Marketing Software products, if you encounter JVM-related errors.
If you are deploying in a production environment, set the JVM memory heap size parameters to at least 1024 by adding the following line to the standalone.conf file in the JBOSS_EAP_HOME/bin:
```
JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MetaspaceSize=96M - XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=256m "
```
These are the suggested minimum values. Analyze your sizing requirements to determine correct values for your needs. Depending upon system load -Xmx and MaxMetaspaceSize value should be adjusted.
Note: A 64-bit application server and JVM are usually required for values greater than 2048.

Modify the JAVA_OPTIONS parameter to add the following value in setenv.bat/sh:

set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -DUNICA_PLATFORM_CACHE_ENABLED=true 
-Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8 -DAUDIENCE_HOME=<UNICA_HOME>\<Audience_Home>"

Navigate to the JBoss Enterprise Application Management Console, for example http://<Jboss_Host_IP>:<Port>/management.
Deploy AudienceCentral.war on JBoss.
You can also deploy AudienceCentral.war using jboss-cli.bat/sh. Run the following command:
```
jboss-cli.bat/sh
```
and connect to the JBoss instance using the following command:
```
connect <Jboss_Host_IP>:<JBOSS management Port>
deploy <UNICA_HOME>/AudienceCentral/AudienceCentral.war
```
After making the changes, restart the JBoss application server.
