Using Jenkins as a service on Cloudbees - cloudbees

I am new to Cloudbees and have been trying to find out how I can run an existing Jboss Portal Server based application which we run in our locally hosted CI in Cloudbees infrastructure.
Our stack has the following components
JDK 1.6 JBoss
Portal Server (EPP 4.3)
Oracle Express Edition (XE)
Would appreciate any help from the community to ensure that I dont discard the option of running Jenkins in the cloud on the Cloudbees platform without proper research.

You will have to setup your build job to install and start the adequate runtime
JDK 6 is available as part of CloudBees runtimes, you can then use /private repository to store EPP 4.3 as a zip and expand to /tmp during a pre-build step
Same principle applies to your database, but I'm not sure you can install Oracle XE without user interaction and without being root. I remember doing this myself some years ago on ubuntu and was not as trivial as just unzipping a binary distro.
Is your code tied to this DB ? Or are you using some DB abstraction layer that you could use to test using another DB runtime (mysql / postgres) ?

Upgrading Directus on a server using Docker Compose and managing database compatibility

I recently set up Directus on my server using the Docker Compose method described in the Docker Guide.
I have also installed a security plugin to check for potential issues with my images. Currently, the Postgis [13-master] and redis:6 versions have been reported as having some security concerns. Would you recommend staying on this version or upgrading to a different one? If upgrading is necessary, what steps can I take to ensure compatibility with the new database version?

WAS 6 to WAS 8.5 migration

I need to migrate my application to WAS 6.1 to WAS 8.5.5. I would need list of things to be taken care before migration and what are all the major changes involved.
I googled and sufficient informations I couldnt get. Can some one please help me on this ?
One thing to do is to setup an eclipse with IBM WebSphere Application Server Migration Toolkit and then import your application source code (you may even analyse your binaries with Migration Toolkit for Application Binaries) in the workspace.
You then run Software Analyzer and select the Websphere Migration rules.

Need help to select correct install file and options for BA\PDI

We want to upgrade our Pentaho suite from 4.1 to 5.0 version. Currently we use Analyzer for ad hoc reporting (which is installed on linux box) and Kettle (which is on windows).Plus this time we want to install repository also so that our kettle jobs are shared centrally.
With this requirement I believe I need to install both BA and DI components, since Analyzer comes under BA. But I can see that BA and DI have separate repository.
Can someone help me explaining which install files I should run and what options should I pick ?. I have 3 files pdi-ee-5.0.2-dist.zip, pdi-ee-client-5.0.1-dist.zip and pdi-ee-server-5.0.2-dist.zip
I would also appreciate if someone can provide me with correct link or video to help me with the install\configuration.Right now I am referring to http://infocenter.pentaho.com/help/index.jsp
You don't have to install anything, you just have to unzip the files and have to run appropriate batch file on windows and .sh file in linux.
For pentaho Data integration you have to run "spoon.bat" on windows and "spoon.sh" on linux
For pentaho BA Server you have to run you have to reach down to biserver-ce foler (i am using community addition) for you it may be like biserver-ee and under that you have to run "start-pentaho.bat" in windows and "start-pentaho.sh" in linux.

Command version executed successfully.

Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,

Regarding the Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1 Upgrade Guide you did it right.
There are some hints in this guide for the migration of deployed applications:
Application archives (EAR files) and component archives (JAR, WAR, and
RAR files) that are deployed in the source server do not require any
modification to run on Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1. Components that
may have incompatibilities are deployed on GlassFish Server 3.1 with
the compatibility property set to v2 and will run without change on
GlassFish Server 3.1. You may, however, want to consider modifying the
applications to conform to Java EE 6 requirements.
...
Applications and components that are deployed in the source server are
deployed on the target server during the upgrade. Applications that do
not deploy successfully on the target server must be deployed manually
on the target server by the user.
If a domain contains information about a deployed application and the
installed application components do not agree with the configuration
information, the configuration is migrated unchanged, without any
attempt to reconfigure the incorrect configurations.
You should read through the guide carefully and check your deployed applications for any errors / exceptions during server startup or manual redeployment.
Some time ago I made an update as described in the update guide from 3.0 to 3.1.1 and cannot remember any bigger problems.

jBPM web designer - install and usage

Has anyone got the new jBPM 4.3 web designer installed and working? I am trying to but http://localhost:8080/jbpmeditor/, http://localhost:8080/jbpm/editor/; http://localhost:8080/p/explorer all return invalid URL
I have run ant install.signavio.into.tomcat. I am on tomcat 6.0, jBPM4.3, MySQL 5.1. I am able to login to the jbpm-console.
http://localhost:8080/jbpmeditor/p/explorer
If you plan to use the standalone jbpm-designer application (current version is 2.4.0), the URL of the application instance is:
http://localhost:8080/designer/editor?profile=jbpm
Looks like guvnor is a mandatory dependency (it is available from Maven Central) and needs to be deployed in the same Application Server at:
http://localhost:8080/drools-guvnor
