Automation

Overview​

Purpose​

The purpose of this guide is to reduce the time it takes to carry out a Watson Code Assistant install by leveraging helper automation scripts we have built in house. These scripts are developed in a decoupled manner allowing the end user to leverage any script that may be relevant to their needs. For example, you may be in a situation where some of the pre-reqs have already been installed such as MSSQL Server or Java etc.

The helper functions automate the following:

  • Access Management
  • Installation of IBM AD Analyze Client (ADDI) and Watson X Code Assistant for Z.
  • Installation of Microsoft SQL Server 2019 (RTM) - 15.0.2000.5 (X64)
  • Installation and configuration of Java 11
  • DB2 Configuration
  • Configuration && Creation of TLS/Certs for Refactor Assistant Host and ADDI Host
  • Verifies available RAM, storage and CPU cores.
  • Installs Podman, OpenSSL

Install Components and Scripts​

This install will require a Windows and RHEL host respectively for the ADDI install and the Refactor Assistant components. For each host there are scripts to check for the required hardware and check / install the necessary software.
