What to do next
Initiate an update process to scale or modify configuration of the Clustered Dukes Bank 3.0.0 or 2.1.0
application version. See Initiate an Update Process to Scale Sample Applications and Initiate an Update
Process to Modify Configurations in Sample Applications.
Deploy jPetStore Application
jPetStore 1.0.0 is a single-tier sample Web store application that deploys the jPetStore App WAR file on
vFabric tc Server using SQLFire as a database that you can deploy to your test environment.
To deploy the blueprint for the jPetStore application, you must download the VMware vFabric SQLFire
1.0.0 installer (vFabric_SQLFire_10_Installer.jar) file and point to that file using the SQLFire
service property SQLFire10_Installer.
Use the predefined sample application only in a test environment.
Prerequisites
n
Register the uploaded CentOS 6.3 32-bit template for jPetStore 1.0.0 to a cloud provider. See Using
the Sample Templates and Register the vCloud Director Cloud Provider and Template.
n
Map the cloud template to the CentOS63 32bit disk logical template jPetStore 1.0.0. See Add a
Logical Template to the Library.
n
Log in to Application Services as an application publisher and deployer.
n
If your system requires a proxy to access the Internet, verify that your proxy connections are properly
configured. See Configure Application Services to Use a Proxy for External URLs.
n
Understand the basic concepts of creating a deployment profile and deploying an application. See
Chapter 16 Deploying Applications.
Procedure
1 Download the vFabric SQLFire 1.0.0 installer package (vFabric_SQLFire_10_Installer.jar) from
the VMware Downloads page (https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads) to your own httpd
