Configuring Harmony
After installation, set up the database configuration for computers running Harmony.
| 1. | Setting Up the Database Server |
| 2. | Creating the Toon Boom Harmony File System |
Setting Up the Database Server
The Dbserver controls all interactions with the contents of the Toon Boom Harmony database. It processes all requests to open, read or update files, keeping track of locked files so they cannot be edited by anyone.
When installing Harmony on the server for the first time, the Harmony database folder is created automatically. Verify that the folder was created correctly. Look for the USA_DB folder in the root folder /USA_DB. If you do not see the folder, then create it using the create_usa_db script:
/usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12/lnx86_64/bin/create_usa_db /USA_DB
Next, create and edit the Dbserver.conf file to set up the Dbserver. Then run a script to start it.
How to set up the Dbserver
- Using a text editor, create the
Dbserver.conffile in/USA_DB/.
- Type the following in the
Dbserver.conffile:
Assuming the machine name of the Dbserver is harmonyserver, the lines in Dbserver.conf would look like this:
hostname harmonyserver
port 5678
debug_port 5680
Dbserver.conf in /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12/resources/samples. You can copy and paste it from there and change it accordingly.- Save and close the
Dbserver.conffile.
- Change the permissions on the
Dbserver.conffile to 644.
chmod 644 Dbserver.conf
- Start the Dbserver service.
/sbin/service USAnimation_dbserver start
A message appears in the shell indicating that the script was successful. A log file is generated in /tmp/tbdbserver.log.
- Verify the log file to ensure there are no errors written to the log.
Creating the Toon Boom Harmony File System
After you set up and start the license and Dbserver, you are ready to create the file system for the Toon Boom Harmony database.
How to create the Toon Boom Harmony file system
- Change directories to the root:
cd /
- Create the following directory:
mkdir usadata000
- Change the permission of the following folders to 777:
/usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12
/USA_DB
/usadata000
chmod -R 777 /usr/local/ToonBoomAnimation/harmony[edition]_12 /USA_DB /usadata000
You are now ready to test your installation on the server/standalone machine.
