Is it possible to create new repositories on jazz server? - repository

Is it possible to create new repositories(other than the default /ccm/, /qm/, /rm) on jazz server so that it can be connected using rtc (repository connection).

As mentioned in Configuring the Jazz Team Server and the first application after the upgrade, those /ccm/, /qm/, /rm are "applications", not "repositories".
You can register a new application (in addition of the applications running on a common Jazz Team Server: Requirements Management (RM), Change and Configuration Management (CCM), Quality Management (QM), and Design Management (DM))
An example would be the Rational Git Adapter, with its url:
https://fully qualified hostname:port/gitAdapter.

How to configure two IBM MobileFirst Platform v7.1 server to one IBM http web server?

Please help me in configuring two IBM MObilefirst Platform 7.1 ap server to one IBM HTTP Web server. As per the IBM Documents I should follow Server Farm configurations.
Need guidance in doing the same.
Scenario 1
Resources: Two App Servers with IBM MobileFirst Platform v7.1 installed and plugin-cfg geneated using jConsole. Each app server is having separate DB for each. One web server with IBM HTTP installed.
Scenario 2Resources: Two App Servers with IBM MobileFirst Platform v7.1 installed and plugin-cfg geneated using jConsole. Both the app server is having common DB. One web server with IBM HTTP installed.
I need both the app servers to be up at the same time in the above given scenarios. Please let me know in scenario one should I install any separate plugin for setting up server farm configuration.
note:In Scenario 2 currently only one App server can be made up at a time
Use JConsole to generate the plugin-cfg.xml from your individual Liberty servers. You can either merge the plugin-cfg.xml files manually or use Job Manager to generate a merged plugin from both the Liberty servers.
More details here:
Setting up HTTP Server in a WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile farm
Manually merge the files by using a text editor.
Use the job manager to submit a Generate merged plugin configuration for Liberty servers job.

MobileFirst SQL Adapters requestTimeoutInSeconds

I have WL6.0 project that contains SQL adapter. The adapter has procedure with requestTimeoutInSeconds="240" and I am trying to migrate that project to WL7.1.
As per Adapter timeout and concurrency article on IBM Knowledge Center, I have to use JNDI config instead.
The requestTimeoutInSeconds attribute of and
elements is ignored. Use JNDI configuration instead.
Can any one provide an example how to implement that?
I am working on MobileFirst Studio 7.1 and I imported the project with no errors.
Note that you are developing in MobileFirst Studio, which utilizes the Liberty application server as its underlying server.
Locally such changes are not required, since you're working locally...
This will become important once you start on moving to testing and production environments.
This means that you will need to update the server.xml of your WebSpher full profile/Liberty profile - not the server.xml of the server in MobileFist Studio.
You you can find documentation for this in the Liberty docs, here: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/was_beta_liberty/com.ibm.websphere.wlp.nd.multiplatform.doc/ae/twlp_dep_configuring_ds.html
Note that the setup you need to do differs based on your database type: MySQL, Oracle, DB2, ... You can find examples for each database type in the link above.

Can we use server configuration tool for MFP Foundation on IBM Container(Bluemix)?

Server Configuration Tool needs Database Settings(host,port,username,password,dbname) and AppServer Settings(installation directory,username,password) information. The tool also need to access database directly.
The MFPF docs doesn't provide such kind of information. Is there anyway to user server configuration tool for MFPF on ibm container?
It is not possible to use the Server configuration tool for IBM Containers deployment. The only current way is to use the scripts as provided and instructed, here: https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/documentation/getting-started-7-1/bluemix/run-foundation-on-bluemix/

SQL Server Data Tools on Azure VM

I created a VM using the gallery image, and got SQL server 2014 Standard template and got reporting services working correctly. My questions here are all about the Azure VM image, which I'm sure the community is using as well (no SSRS in Azure other than using a VM)
ReportBuilder however will not start from a remote client (401 unauthorized), and I'm sure I have to open another port or something to get it working but I can't seem to find the right article....
I'm also told that SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) is installed on the server, in order to create reports via Visual Studio. However, I can't seem to find the right link on the server (damn this new Server 2014 interface! hard to loose the muscle memory of the previous os) What is the start up procedure for SSDT on the VM?
I've also tried using the Browser directly on the VM, but without JavaScript enabled, that wont' work as well. How do I drop (temp) all the constraints it's under?
In essence, how do you create a report on the Azure VM?
If you can access the report server from a browser in a remote client, for example, yourazurevm.cloudapp.net/reportserver, then you have already configured firewall correctly. Otherwise, refer to this article (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-provision-sql-server/#SSMS) to configure Azure SQL VM.
To create reports using ReportBuilder, install the standalone version of the ReportBuilder 3.0 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6116. After you launch the ReportBuilder, you can configure it to connect to your Azure SQL report server in the lower left corner.
To create reports using Visual Studio and SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), install SSDT-BI (not just SSDT) in the client where Visual Studio is installed. Then create a Report Server Project by going to File->New->Project->Installed->Templates->Business Intelligence->Reporting Services. Open the properties of the project, and set the Target Server URL to your Azure SQL report server.

How to deploy an MVC 4 application to a Windows Web Server based dedicated hosting?

I want to deploy an MVC 4 web application to a Windows Web Server 2008 based dedicated hosting. I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 Express as my back-end database. What steps will I need to take regarding the following:
Installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on the web server and deploying my database.
Managing SQL Express database remotely using SSMS.
Configuring database path in my EF5 generated model
Deploying my application
Managing changes to my application.
Can someone provide me a detailed answer/some good links?
Installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on the web server and deploying my database.
This depends on your provider. Most providers, if not all, allow you to install your own licensed SQL Server. If you will be using an Express edition then it is, and should be, 100% allowable by your provider. The only step you need here is to go to download page of SQL Server 2008 R2 and download the appropriate file you need. The files you need on that page are the ones with "ADV" in its name. Choose x64 if you will install a 64-bit OS or choose x86 if you will install a 32-bit OS.
Managing SQL Express database remotely using SSMS.
This depends on the firewall set by your provider. But basically this is how you will allow remote access to your SQL Server:
For Windows 2008 R2
Login to your dedicated server using Remote Desktop. If you don't know how to do this, it's best that you consult with your provider.
Go to Start > All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 > Configuration Tools -> SQL Server Configuration Manager
On the window that open in step #2, expand SQL Server Configuration Manager (Local) -> SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for SQLExpress
On the right pane, right-click TCP/IP and select Properties.
Select the IP Addresses tab and then scroll to the IP All section.
Set/change the TCP Port value to/from 1433 to 14333 (or any other port) and then click OK.
Right-click TCP/IP again and Enable it
Restart your SQL Server by going to Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Services -> SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) -> Restart. The Restart is on the left pane.
Configuring database path in my EF5 generated model
Unfortunately, I cannot answer this one as I believe you are using the EF designer in creating your model. I never worked with EF that way, but only by code-first. I have to skip this part and let you Google this.
Deploying my application
There is already a good documentation written here so I will not dupliate it here. Basically what you need to do is enable FTP on your dedicated server. Then once that is setup you can go on with bin-deploying your application.
Managing changes to my application.
I assume what you are asking here is that if you have changes to your application, how would you re-deploy it. A bin-deployment will not hurt. Deploying only the files in which you have changes is a good approach. Knowing which files changed can vary depending on the tools you use. In addition, if you don't have any fancy setup that will tell your users you are deploying changes to your site, you might want to take a look at this post. It tells you to put a App_Offline.htm file in your root web directory. That should still work with MVC, after all MVC is still ASP.Net.
