Initialize the Bootstrap Layer

On your assembly-host, while logged in as escenic:

  1. cd to the /opt/escenic/assemblytool folder:

    $ cd /opt/escenic/assemblytool
  2. Enter the following command:

    $ ant -q ear

    This command (which takes a few minutes to complete) creates the bootstrap layer. The bootstrap layer is a set of configuration files that "configure the configuration process". Once you have run the above command, you will find the bootstrap layer located in /opt/escenic/assemblytool/conf. This bootstrap layer is set up to look for three configuration layers. The first two layers (default and addon) are part of the delivered system, and do not concern you. The third layer is called common, and the bootstrap layer is set up to look for it in /etc/escenic/engine/common. You will therefore need to create a common configuration layer there, as described in Create the Common Configuration Layer.
