i am trying to use latest 2.10.0 snapshot version with spring boot 3 and i could not get the option to edit the application properties to change my data source url
please see my dashboard screenshot:
enter image description here
I have added my jar from local machine.
I need to get the edit option for application properties as well
Just to clarify, you are trying to register a custom Spring Boot 3 application with Spring Cloud Dataflow but are unable to edit any application properties. Is that correct?
Please be sure you did the same steps as described in app registration.
Are you able to edit the app properties for the built-in applications?
The options to update properties is available when you deploy a stream or task.
The configuration options available depend on the platform you are using.

I'm using SCDF and i was wondering if there was any way to configure default properties for one application?
I got a task application registered in SCDF and this application gets some JDBC properties to access business database :
app.foo.export.datasource.url=jdbc:db2://blablabla
app.foo.export.datasource.username=testuser
app.foo.export.datasource.password=**************
app.foo.export.datasource.driverClassName=com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver
Do i really need to put this prop in a property file like this : (it's bit weird to define them during the launch)
task launch fooTask --propertiesFile aaa.properties
Also, we cannot use the rest API, credentials would appear in the url.
Or is there another way/place to define default business props for an application ? These props will be only used by this task.
The purpose is to have one place where OPS team can configure url and credentials without playing with the launch command.
Thank you.
Yeah, SCDF feels a bit weird in the configuration area.
As you wrote, you can register an application and create tasks, but all the configuration is passed at the first launch of the task. Speaking other way round, you can't fully install/configure a task without running it.
As soon as a task has run once, you can relaunch it without any configuration and it uses the configuration from before. The whole config is saved in the SCDF database.
However, if you try to overwrite an existing configuration property with a new value, SCDF seems to ignore the new value and continue to use the old one. No idea if this is intended by design or a bug or if we are doing something wrong.
Because we run SCDF tasks on Kubernetes and we are used to configure all infrastructure in YAML files, the best option we found was to write our own Operator for SCDF.
This operator works against the REST interface of SCDF and also compensates the weird configuration issues mentioned above.
For example the overwrite issue is solved by first deleting the configuration and recreate it with the new values.
With this operator we have reached what you are looking for: all our SCDF configuration is in a git repository and all changes are done through merge requests. Thanks to CI/CD, on the next launch, the new configuration is used.
However, a Kubernetes operator should be part of the product. Without it, SCDF on Kubernetes feels quite "alien".
I've used the process documented here https://github.com/Autodesk-Forge/forge-bim360.project.setup.tool to automate creating a new project HUB. We ask our users to fill a form on Service Now for each new project. My question is: Has anyone had any success linking the Service Now API to Forge? So that the variables that are filled by the end user on the Service Now form are used by Forge to create a new project HUB. Thanks.
I am not familiar with Service Now, but I've created integration with internal system.
Integration depends on what you need.
1.You can create a plugin for Service Now(If it is supports adding plugins) ,and create an app to fill into info that you need to create new project in Bim360(project name,users,etc.)
2.If you need to create a new project based on your info in Service Now,you should take Service Now Api, read all info that you need and then pass it to Autodesk Forge Api to create new project.
I already have a website running and want to install JIRA Server on it. So how do I add a sub directory to my main website, example www.mywebsite.com is my actual website so want www.mywebsite.com/Jira how do I achieve this?
I had downloaded the windows JIRA Installer and ran it locally connecting to the database hosted on my server and it worked using localhost(http://localhost:8080/secure/Dashboard.jspa) however now I want to access it through the web link i.e base URL.
I am new to this so any help would be really appreciated.
Well I understand you do have a domain and you want to run your JIRA with context path /jira un that domain. If that's the case, you may need to consider running your JIRA behind proxy. Take a look at Atlassian documentation since it contains all the information that you need for this:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/kb/proxying-atlassian-server-applications-with-apache-http-server-mod_proxy_http-806032611.html
We use Jenkins and Active Directory plugin for authentication.
For some reason, I need to add a specific account in Jenkins but not in Active Directory.
Is it possible to use both Active Directory and internal user ?
If it's impossible, I think I can modify the plugin to add an account in it.
I know it's not a good idea, but we need this function.
I think it's in ActiveDirectoryAuthenticationProvider.java's retrieveUser() function.
If you have Jenkins deployed to an app server and the app server supports your use case, you can use the "Delegate to servlet container" option in the Security Realm.
You might be able to utilize the Script Security Realm Plugin
How does ASP.NET MVC, if at all, deal with or provide ways to create your application using multiple environments? For example:
Development environment (local machine, probably run via the built-in web server and talking to a local database)
Testing (runs against a preloaded databse with example data, although this part could be skipped and mocks could be used)
Production database on a real server with real data
Ruby on Rails has the concept of environments and "automagically" can deduce if you're in development or production, so you can specify your connection information (connection string) in a config file and the framework dynamically pulls the appropriate one. Is there a similar way of doing things with .NET MVC? If not then how are professional developers using .NET MVC handling different environments?
The only way I can think of is to manually add an "environment" global method (or use an enum, or something like that, maybe this is a use for something like the State pattern?) and store the different connection strings in the web.config file, and then create a base class which all data access classes derive from which provides a way to obtain the connection string for the current environment; this would then have to be set to production when the time comes to put the application live.
Is there another way? Most of the .NET MVC videos and articles I've seen don't even bother with separate environments but only use a development database and don't indicate how you do it in production.
I'd say this is really a question of your company's internal processes. Since every company is a little bit different it's hard to have a "right" generic way to support dev/test/alpha/production and/or other environments.
One way: Create a setup program that supplies the correct connection string based on the environment chosen during the setup process.
Another way: System Admin edits web.config file to supply correct connection string during install.
Yet ANother Way: Connection strings are stored in the system registry.
Even Another Odd Way: You have all your connection strings for all environments in web.config, then a setting in appSettings the tells you which one to use.
Depending on the client, I've done all of these. There are more but these are the more popular.
(One client wanted to store the connecting string in the data base itself. Really.)
You can use alias for your database. You just point these aliases to different servers in the different environments. Stored in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client\Connect if i remember right. Then you use the alias in the connectionstring.
In response to Jason's response:
We use Enterprise Library Environments to configure the different environment paramters and via msbuild invoke the Merge Configuration Tool that generates the different configs for each environment. The deploy process picks the right config file depending on which environment to install.
I was able to solve a similar situation following these steps:
In your Visual Studio, access Build > Configuration Manager
Click in "new"
Choose a name for your configuration, and then copy settings from an existing config. After the configuration creation, it will be available for you to target as build configuration
Create a Web.{env-name-you-chose}.config in your application folder, along with the original Web.config file.
Open your .csproj file with Visual Studio or any text editor
Search for a section that looks like the following and add the highlighted lines, with the config file name you gave previously:
Open your Visual Studio, reload projects if it's required, and now you are able to choose your configuration via CLI or manual publish using Visual Studio.
There is a Publishing Wizard (in Visual Studio) wich let's you change parts of web.config for release build automaticaly. Wich happens to be the feature you are asking about. No magic thou.
What we have done is during our automated build process (Hudson), we alter values in web.config depending on which environment the build is for. Unfortunately there isn't a magical way to do this.
For deployment, which I assume that is what the op was asking about, one creates multiple configurations and in the publish, picks a different configuration. These are called transforms and they operate on the web.config. One would have at least three publish profiles, one for dev, test and prod. One can change more than just the connection string in this way. One can turn on custom errors, turn off debugging and change values of configuration variables. I highly recommend it.
I have a similar question. I have a log table reader. I want it to read log tables in the development, test and production databases. The major difficulty lies in my user account doesn't have permission to look at test and production. It's some silly security thing. The user that I'm impersonating in the application does have permission. I'm struggling trying to tell MVC to build the test and production models using the impersonated user.
