Creating the environment

Before you can deploy i2 Analyze in a containerized environment, the local environment must be created. The local environment requires the prerequisites to be in the correct locations, and copies some artifacts and tools from the i2 Analyze toolkit.

You can create the local environment by running the create-environment script.

The following descriptions explain what the create-environment script does in more detail.

Extracts the i2 Analyze minimal toolkit

The script extracts the toolkit tar.gz located in the pre-reqs directory into the the pre-reqs/i2Analyze directory.

Populate image clients

The create-environment script creates populate client images with the contents of the i2-tools & scripts folder of the toolkit.

ETL toolkit

The create-environment script creates the ETL toolkit that is built into the etl toolkit image. The etl toolkit is created in images/etl_client/etltoolkit.

Example connector application

The create-environment script creates the example connector that is built into the connector image. More information about the example connector can be found here. The connector application is created in images/example_connector/app.

Liberty application

The create-environment script creates the i2 Analyze liberty application that is built into the Liberty base image. The application consists of files that do not change based on the configuration. After the application is created, you do not need to modify it. The application is created in images/liberty_ubi_base/application.
