Abstract
Apache Fineract CN is an application framework for digital financial services, a system to support nationwide and cross-national financial transactions and help to level and speed the creation of an inclusive, interconnected digital economy for every nation in the world.
Prerequisites
Runtime
Install Java 8 as described at https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/install_overview.html.
MariaDB
Install MariaDB as described at https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/binary-packages/.
After installation you need to create the meta database:
mysql -u root -pmysql
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS system_console;
Cassandra
Install Apache Cassandra as described at https://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/GettingStarted.
After installation you need to create the meta keyspace:
cqlsh
CREATE KEYSPACE IF NOT EXISTS system_console
WITH REPLICATION = {
'class' : 'SimpleStrategy',
'replication_factor' : 3
};
Multi-tenancy
Multi-tenancy is reached by providing separate data storage on a per tenant basis.
For every tenant a new database instance, and a new keyspace is created internally. A tenant aware component provides transparent access to these resources.
