Install and Configure PoolParty GraphViews

To deploy GraphViews, ensure you meet the following prerequisites:

• Java 21 or higher must be installed on both the build machine and the server.

• A PoolParty server must be running and accessible from the server where GraphViews will be hosted.

• A dedicated PoolParty user for GraphViews must exist. This user must meet the following criteria:

  1. The user must have an API admin role.

  2. The user must be assigned to at least one PoolParty group with at least one project assigned to this group.

GraphViews can be configured by creating a graphviews.properties file. The application checks for this file in the following locations:

• The same directory as the .jar file.

• A subdirectory named config within the same directory as the .jar file.

• A directory or file specified by the spring.config.additional-location startup option.

The following properties must be configured in your graphviews.properties file:

• pp.username: The username of the API admin user.

• pp.password: The password for the API admin user.

• pp.url: The URL of the PoolParty server. Use http://localhost:8081 if GraphViews is on the same server as PoolParty.

You can also configure optional properties to customize the application's behavior:

• graphviews.languages.allowed: A comma-separated list specifying allowed languages (for example: en, de).

• logging.level.root: Sets the logging level (default is INFO).

• logging.file: Specifies the path for log file output (logs are written to the console by default).

• server.port: The port number for GraphViews (defaults to 8080).
