Installing Government Clause Automation (GCA) consists of five main steps:
Before starting the installation process, review the System Requirements to make sure all minimum requirements are met.
Note: Instructions below are tailored for MariaDB or Oracle databases. For use with other databases, the SQL scripts used in Step 3 will need to be modified.
To install GCA, you'll need to download the software package that contains the following files you'll use in the remaining set up steps.
To download the software package:
ClauseAutomationv2.7.0.zip
to access the software installation files.For the GCA application to work, you must deploy the following plug-ins.
Appian Solutions
Content Tools
Regular Expression Functions
Rich Text Editor
The steps for deploying plug-ins are different for an Appian Cloud or self-managed environment. Be sure to note which set of deployment steps you need for your environment.
To deploy the plug-ins for an Appian Cloud environment:
Appian Solutions
.Content Tools
Regular Expression Functions
Rich Text Editor
To deploy the plug-ins for a self-managed environment:
In order to create the structure for the database tables, views, and other objects that are a part of the GCA application, you will need to run a DDL script in your database.
To create the database objects:
In your database, run the 01.ClauseAutomationv2.7.0.sql
DDL file that was downloaded in Step 1.
Note: This DDL file is optimized for MariaDB or Oracle databases. If you are using a different type of database, the DDL file may need to be modified.
The final step needed is to install the GCA application by importing the application files into the target environment.
To import the application:
ClauseAutomationv2.7.0.zip
file that was downloaded in Step 1.ClauseAutomationv2.7.0.properties
file that was downloaded in Step 1.If you want to overwrite the current default start page for your GCA solution, you need to import the Admin Console. This is an optional step that is only applicable for specific versions of GCA or a related hotfix. Before performing these steps, be sure they apply to the GCA version installed in your environment.
For instructions on how to do this, see Appian Administration Console.
Note: If the business database is not called Appian
, a warning will occur when importing the data stores. To fix this, after the import is complete, open each data store object and update the Data Source dropdown list.
