Add a new app type to the WSO2 App Cloud

This blog explain how you can add a new app type to the WSO2 App cloud.

Step 1: Get a clone of WSO2 app cloud code base
git clone https://github.com/wso2/app-cloud

 Step 2: Create the docker files for the runtime
Please refer our existing docker files when creating new docker files for particular runtime.
https://github.com/wso2/app-cloud/tree/master/modules/resources/dockerfiles

 Following blog post gives you some details about structure of the docker files
http://amalkas.blogspot.com/2016/09/add-new-runtime-to-existing-app-type-in.html

 Step 3: Required database changes
When adding new app type you need add some database records, following diagram gives you an idea of database schema.

 AC_CLOUD defines the cloud types
AC_APP_TYPE defines app types
AC_RUNTIME defines runtimes
AC_CONTAINER_SPECIFICATIONS defines container specs
AC_TRANSPORT defines the ports we expose for end users
-- insert app type
-- insert app type, cloud mapping
-- insert runtime
-- insert app type, runtime mapping
-- insert container spec if required
-- insert runtime, container spec mapping
-- insert transport if required
-- insert runtime, transport mapping
Step 4: Specify app-type meta data in app-types-properties.json file
This json file we used to load the app type details to the App Cloud UI.
Step 5: Add a sample
We need to add a sample to implement deploy sample option.

Commit your sample archive here:

Specify the sample location here with the property <app_type>_sample_artifact_url

 Step 7: Implement endpoints section loading to the app home page
Please refer the followign blog post to see how we have developed the "Endpoints" section per app type.

Tips on using environment variables in WSO2 Integration Cloud

Environment variables allow you to change an application's internal configuration without changing its source code. Let’s say you want to deploy the same application in development, testing  and production environments. Then database related configs and some other internal configurations may change from one environment to another. If we can define these configurations as an environment variables we can easily set those without changing the source code of that application. When you deploy your application in WSO2 Integration Cloud, it lets you define environment variables via the UI. Whenever you change the values of environment variables, you just need to redeploy the application for the changes to take effect. Predefined environment variables Key Concepts - Environment Variables   provides you some predefined set of environment variables which will be useful when deploying applications in WSO2 Integration Cloud. Sample on how to use environment variables ...

WSO2 ESB communication with WSO2 ESB Analytics

This blog post is about how & what ports involved when connecting from WSO2 ESB to WSO2 ESB Analytics. How to configure: This document explains how to configure it https://docs.wso2.com/display/ESB500/Prerequisites+to+Publish+Statistics Let's say we have WSO2 ESB  and WSO2 ESB Analytics packs we want to run in same physical machine, then we have to offset one instance.  But we don't want to do that since WSO2 ESB Analytics by default come with the offset. So WSO2ESB will run on 9443 port, WSO2 ESB Analytics will run on 9444 port WSO2 ESB publish data to the WSO2 ESB Analytics via thrift. By default thrift port is 7611 and corresponding ssl thrift port is 7711 (7611+100), check the data-bridge-config.xml file which is in analytics server config directory .  Since we are shipping analytics products with offset 1 then thrift ports are 7612 and ssl port is 7712. Here, ssl port (7712) is used for initial authentication purposes of data publisher ...
