Summary

Retrieve an individual resource, set of resources, or full cluster configuration; generate a configuration from scenarios.

Parameters
config A zip file or xml|json configuration which filters resource configurations returned by the function.
config-options Configuration options control how the configuration is created. This function supports the following configuration options:
name
The configuration profile name, for example "myClusterTestConfig".
desc
The configuration description, for example "Test configuration for my cluster".
embedTokens
Embed replacement tokens (ex. %%sometoken%%) in configuration. The allowed values are true or false. The default value is false for xml|json format and true for zip format.
includeProperties
Include resource properties in the configuration. By default, all resource properties are provided. If set false - only resource name and identifier are provided. The allowed values are true or false. The default value is true.
format
The response format; the value supplied in the $format parameter of the function overrides this value. The allowed values are xml | json | zip. The default value is json.
scenario
The scenario to generate configuration from; the value supplied in the $scenario parameter of the function overrides this value. The allowed values are: "ha-local".
installer
The type of the installer script to include (with a configuration in zip format). Currently the only supported value is "ml-gradle".
resourceType
The resource type - for selecting/filtering resources by type. The allowed values are: "forest", "database", "server", "group", "user", "role".
resourceId
The list of resources' identifiers to select specific resources. The value is string array, for example: ["resource-id1", "resource-id2", ...].
resourceName
The regular expression to select specific resources by their names, for example "ha-*".
default-params Scenario-specific default values for parameters to be embedded into the configuration. See Usage Notes for details.
format The response format. The allowed values are xml | json | zip. The default value is json.
scenario The scenario to generate the configuration from. The allowed values are: "ha-local".

Usage Notes

This function retrieves selected resource(s) configuration or generates a configuration from scenarios. Configuration options define how the configuration is generated.

The default namespace for configuration packages is http://marklogic.com/manage/config.

XML root element:
<configuration xmlns="http://marklogic.com/manage/config">
      

The available core scenarios are summarized below. The details on each scenario follow.

HA Local Failover

Local disk failover provides High Availability (HA) by replicating forest data to other hosts. When any particular host goes down, forests' replicas will mount on the other hosts.

The parameters for HA Local Failover scenario are:

replicaSameZoneAsMaster
Create forests on hosts in the same zone. The allowed values are true or false. The default value is true.
masterDatabase
Create if does not exist, add replicas (if none exist). The value is string, for example "myHADatabase".
triggersDatabase
Create if does not exist, add replicas (if none exist). The value is string, for example "myHATriggers".
schemasDatabase
Create if does not exist, add replicas (if none exist). The value is string, for example "myHASchemas".
securityDatabase
When defined, will attempt to add replicas to xdmp:security-database() (if none exist) if create-security-database-replicas is set to true.
addReplicaToExistingForests
When set to false - no attempt is made to add replicas; when set to true - replicas will be added to the forest, with total summing up to number-of-replicas-per-forest. The allowed values are true or false. The default value is false.
createSecurityDatabaseReplicas
When set to true, will create replicas for security database. Note that this is particularly dangerous when uninstalling a package. The default value is false.
numberOfMasterForests
Calculated number of master forests. The value is positive integer.
numberOfAncillaryForests
Number of master forests for ancillary databases (e.g. triggers and schemas databases). The value is positive integer.
numberOfReplicasPerMasterForest
Calculated number of replicas per master forest. The value is positive integer.
numberOfReplicasPerAncillaryForest
Calculated number of replicas per ancillary forest. The value is positive integer.
numberOfMasterForestsPerHost
When set overrides number-of-forests-per-host, arbitrarily setting absolute number of master forests per host. The value is positive integer.
numberOfForestsPerHost
Calculated based on number of available hosts, equally balance forests across hosts. The value is positive integer.
masterDataDirectory
Data directory used by master forests. The value is string, for example "/tmp" (e.g. returned by xdmp:data-directory()) function call).
masterFastDataDirectory
Fast directory used by master forests. The value is string, for example "/tmp".
masterLargeDataDirectory
Large directory used by master forests. The value is string, for example "/tmp".
masterReplicaDataDirectory
Data directory used by master forest replicas. The value is string, for example "/tmp".
masterReplicaFastDataDirectory
Fast directory used by master forest replicas. The value is string, for example "/tmp".
masterReplicaLargeDataDirectory
Large directory used by master forest replicas. The value is string, for example "/tmp".

Example

// Generate configuration of the entire cluster.
'use strict';
const cma = require('/MarkLogic/cma.sjs');
cma.generateConfig();
    

Example

// Generate configuration, selecting all forests with resourceType configuration option.
'use strict';
const cma = require('/MarkLogic/cma.sjs');
cma.generateConfig({},{"resourceType":"forest"});
    

Example

// Generate configuration JSON of ha-local scenario.
'use strict';
const cma = require('/MarkLogic/cma.sjs');
cma.generateConfig({},{},{},"json","ha-local");
    

Example

// Generate configuration XML of ha-local scenario where replicas will be added to the existing forests.
'use strict';
const cma = require('/MarkLogic/cma.sjs');
cma.generateConfig(null,null,{"numberOfForestsPerHost":3},"xml","ha-local");
