Can i get config for all adapters at one place ? For example, i need store connection strings, httpserver addresses that needed across my mobilefirst server.
Mobilefirst version 8.0.
Thank you for advance!
In MobileFirst Foundation 8.0 you have the following options:
If using JavaScript adapters:
Edit the connectivity settings from the MobileFirst Console,
Or create a config file and use Maven commands (or the MobileFirst CLI in an upcoming CLI update), or other tools, to push the file to each adapter that requires that same set of connection settings.
Using this method there is no downtime to the server.
See the "Pull and Push Configurations" topic here: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/adapters/javascript-adapters/
Customized adapter properties can be shared using the adapter configuration file found in the Configuration files tab.
To do so, use the pull and push commands described below. For the properties to be shared, you need to change the default values given to the properties.
Replace the DmfpfConfigFile placeholder with the actual value, for example: config.json. Then, run the command from the root folder of the adapter Maven project:
To pull the configurations file - mvn adapter:configpull -DmfpfConfigFile=<path to a file that will store the configuration>.
To push the configurations file - mvn adapter:configpush -DmfpfConfigFile=<path to the file that stores the configuration>.
If using Java adapters,
You can add JNDI properties to the server.xml of your application server, and using the configurationAPI (getServerJNDIProperty) you can read those properties in each of your adapters. However note that by using server.xml this will incur a downtime whenever you will want to update your list of connection properties.

I have a device running TwinCAT/BSD.
Following section 5 the manual for TwinCAT/BSD I have successfully managed to install the TF6250 package. After updating the firewall rules I have confirmed that I am able connect and issue modbus tcp requests successfully using the Default Configuration from section 4.3 of the TF6250 manual.
My project requires mapping that is different from the default (i.e to the %Q registers rather than %M). Normally (when not not using TwinCAT/BSD) I would be able to edit my mapping via the Modbus TCP Configurator, but there does not appear to be an equivalent tool contained in the package for TwinCAT/BSD.
I have tried copying the mapping files that I would have created in the configurator into the Server directory with no luck. Are you able to tell me how my mapping can be updated in the TwinCAT/BSD environment?
If relevant:
TwinCAT Build: 3.1.4024.19
TC/BSD: 12.2.9.1,2
TF6250-Modbus-TCP: 2.0.1.0_1
pkg repo: https://tcbsd.beckhoff.com/TCBSD/12/stable/packages
I spoke with Beckhoff support who told that TF6250 expects the xml file with the configuration here: /usr/local/etc/TwinCAT/Functions/TF6250-Modbus-TCP/TcModbusSrv.xml
I tested this and it appears to work so all you need to do;
Create the mapping file as per normal (e.g using the windows tool) and copy the file there.
Reboot the device to load the configuration from the file.
I created a simple project using ATG 10.2 .I want to know how to deploy it in weblogic. Please provide detailed procedure with screenshots,if possible.
To provide a 'detailed' procedure is beyond the scope of what StackOverflow is trying to provide. That said, if you have an understanding of the Weblogic Management Console you should be able to follow these steps to setup your initial deployment:
Create a Server
1.1 Specify a server name (eg. commerce) and the port number this server will run on (eg. 8180). Select it as a 'Stand-alone server'.
1.2 Once created go to Configuration > Server Start for the newly created server and modify the 'Arguments' block and include the following setings (assuming you are running windows, for Unix update your own paths)
-Datg.dynamo.data-dir=c:\ATG-Data -Datg.dynamo.server.name=commerce -d64 -XX:ParallelGCThreads=8 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 -Xms1152m -Xmx2048m -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:MaxNewSize=256m -XX:PermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
1.3 Save your Server
Create DataSources
2.1 In the Console click on 'Services > Data Sources'
2.2 Create 'New' datasources for each of your connections. As a minimum you will need connections for ATGSwitchingDS_A, ATGSwitchingDS_B (Assuming you are doing switching datasources) and ATGProductionDS. These names should match your JNDI names in your property files. Remember to specify the 'commerce' server as the target for each of the datasources.
Create Deployment
3.1 Assuming you've already built your EAR (eg. ATGProduction.ear) and it is available in c:\deployments you need to create a deployment in Weblogic. You need to create the deployment in the console and specify the target as 'commerce'. Once done you need to also 'start serving requests' on the deployment.
Start Server
You should now be able to see your server running on port 8180 with the log files being written to c:\ATG-Data\servers\commerce\logs.
If after this things aren't running, post specific questions about your issues and someone here might be able to help you.
My company is working on an application developed with MobileFirst v6.3. I'm looking at creating a server configuration that will allow the server to bypass our standard security test.
This is the type of entry I'm looking to make in my worklight.properties file:
#############
# Worklight Security Test
#############
mt.adapter.security=custom-security-test
And this is how I'm trying to place the value in the adapter's procedure:
<procedure name="getTechUserAdapter" securityTest="${mt.adapter.security}"/>
When I build and deploy it, I get this error:
<error mbeanName="com.worklight.common.server.jmx.api:qualifier=worklight,type=ProjectManagement" node="worklight///10.16.109.75" date="2016-06-02T19:58:02.889Z" phase="PREPARE" code="FAILURE" details="Procedure 'getTechUserAdapter' in adapter 'TechUserServiceAdapter' requires security test '${mt.adapter.security}' which is not defined in authenticationConfig.xml.">
Worklight is trying to translate it the security test as a string, and not the value that was placed in the worklight.properties file. Does anyone know how to make it use the variable value?
The security test definition does not support custom properties like what you're trying to do... it looks at the authenticationConfig.xml file.
Instead you may need to keep multiple configurations and swap between them before you build the adapter.
I have a web service. Its domain and port can be changed. So I want to read port and domain from file or db. When this information change, I update them in db or file.
Adapter XML:
<domain>${adp.hostname}</domain>
<port>${adp.port}</port>
worklight.properties:
adp.hostname=localhost
adp.port=10080
This is working fine. But I'd like to take adp.hostname and adp.port from file or db.
Something to remember about adapters is that you cannot change in real-time any of the properties set in the adapter XML once it is deployed.
Once the adapter is deployed, it is transformed into an object and is stored in memory. At this time, then, you can no longer interact with its "setup".
The only thing you can do, is to decide what will be the value of these properties before your deploy the adapter. For example, a different set of properties for QA/TEST/UAT/PROD environments...
To setup external properties, starting Worklight 6.0 and above, you can read this documentation topic: Configuring an IBM Worklight project in production by using JNDI environment entries
Specifically for Tomcat in its server.xml:
<Context docBase="app_context_path" path="/app_context_path">
<Environment name="publicWorkLightPort" override="false"
type="java.lang.String" value="9080"/>
</Context>
You change app_context_path to your project's context (project name)
You add environment child elements for each property you need
Important to remember: these properties must also exist in worklight.properties; those will be the default properties, and if using the above example they will be over-written and the environment properties will be used instead.
In the example above you can see that it will replace the default property publicWorkLightPort.
I have successfully gotten the module 41 sample running with eclipse and the local server. Attempting to deploy on my liberty server returns the error.
Failed to deploy application 'PushApplication-all.wlapp'. : application descriptor uses a security test:PushApplication-strong-mobile-securityTest. However, authentication config xml does not contain a security test element with that name.
I am on Worklight 5.0.5 with a successful app running on the server and now trying to add push notifications. I have checked the war file and it does contain the authentication-config.xml with the specified test.
I saw a smilier post a few momths ago but am unable to find whether it got answered
thanks in advance.
From the sound of it, you are trying to deploy your .wlapp to a server that is already running an instance of Worklight, but this instance does not have the required securityTest settings in authenticationConfig.xml
This leads me to believe that you did not replace the .war file you already had deployed in the Liberty-profile application server with the .war file from your Push Notifications project, which contains the up-to-date authenticationConfig.xml
