# oci-automation-anywhere
This is a Terraform module that deploys [Automation Anywhere](https://www.automationanywhere.com) on [Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)](https://cloud.oracle.com/en_US/cloud-infrastructure). It is developed jointly by Oracle and Automation Anywhere. While the Quick Start is great for extremely technical users, the Marketplace can also be useful as it provides a GUI deployment of Automation Anywhere. That listing is contains the same Terraform as the Quick Start and is available [here](https://cloudmarketplace.oracle.com/marketplace/en_US/listing/73714334).
## Prerequisites
First off you'll need to do some pre deploy setup. That's all detailed [here](https://github.com/oracle/oci-quickstart-prerequisites).
## Clone the Module
You'll first want a local copy of this repo by running:
```
git clone https://github.com/oracle-quickstart/oci-automation-anywhere.git
cd oci-automation-anywhere/
ls
```
That should give you this:
We now need to initialize the directory with the module in it. This makes the module aware of the OCI provider. You can do this by running:
```
terraform init
```
This gives the following output:
## Deploy
First we want to run `terraform plan`. This runs through the terraform and lists
out the resources to be created based on the values in `variables.tf`. If the
variable doesn't have a default you'll be promted for a value.
The only value without a value is `var.sql_pw` which is used for the default `SA`
user on the instance of SQL Server Developer created by default. This password
must meet the following or the post-deploy configuration will fail:
- 8 characters min
- Contains 3 of lower case, uppercase, number, symbol
If that's good, we can go ahead and apply the deploy:
```
terraform apply
```
You'll need to enter `yes` when prompted. The apply should take several minutes
to run, and the final setup will happen asynchronously after this returns.
Once complete, you'll see something like this:
After a few minutes you'll be able to navigate to the `a2019_https_url` output of
the terraform. Once you accept the self-signed certificate, you'll be presented
with a configuration screen like this:
Enter these values:
- Repository path: _/opt/automationanywhere/server_files_
- Control Room Access URL: the same _https://..._ URL you navigated using `a2019_https_url`
Continue following the setup prompts. Note, setting the _Credential Vault_ to
_Express mode_ and using DB authentication are the simplest options and don't
require other pre-existing resources. Once complete you should see:
## Note on SQL Options
This terraform allows for 3 SQL DB option strings in `var.db_type`:
- `"SQL Server Developer"` (default)
- `"Existing SQL Server"`
- `"New Paid SQL Server"`
The last option will deploy **a paid instance of SQL Server which incurs a license
charge**. You also need to be whitelisted to allow this option, dicussed [here](https://cloudmarketplace.oracle.com/marketplace/en_US/listing/60923152).
## Destroy the Deployment
When you no longer need the deployment, you can run this command to destroy it:
```
terraform destroy
```
You'll need to enter `yes` when prompted. Once complete, you'll see something like this:
All resources created by this deployment have now been destroyed.
