Configure Administrators by Environment variable in Axon.ivy 8

vinh_ — Wed, 17 Jun 2020 00:17:03 -0400

Hi Ivy Team,

I would like to configure Administrators by using Environment variable, I can configure systemdb:url by using IVY_SYSTEMDB_URL. But the structure Administrators config is different:

YAML:

Administrators:
  admin:
    Password: "${hash:mySecret}"
    Email: info@localhost.com

Can I create Environment variables like following:

IVY_ADMINISTRATORS_ADMIN=<value??>
IVY_ADMINISTRATORS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=<password>
IVY_ADMINISTRATORS_ADMIN_EMAIL=info@localhost.com

I use Environment variable because I'm running Axon.ivy Engine within Containerized environment, and Environment variable is the suitable way to store configuration.

I could see the Global Variables, Security System face the same issue.

Thank for your support.

Hello, is it possible to package an app.yaml file with the deployment zip in order to configure the application from code in a non-docker deployment?

Docker, dropins, AuthenticationValve

John Moser — Fri, 31 May 2019 10:29:36 -0400

Hi Ivy Team

I am building a Docker image based on axonivy/axonivy-engine:7.2.1. In our project we have a few JARs which should go into the dropins folder but during Ivy startup I get the following error :

14:13:05.368 ERROR [org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester] [localhost-startStop-1]    Begin event threw exception
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.axonivy.auth.valve.AuthenticationValve cannot be found by ch.ivyteam.tomcat_8.5.34.201810151000 ...

4:13:05.380 ERROR [...apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig] [localhost-startStop-1]    Parse error in context.xml for [/ivy]

So far I did the following:

1) Dockerfile:

COPY --chown=ivy:ivy axonivy7-engine-folder-setup/dropins/* /usr/lib/axonivy-engine-7x/dropins/

2) Check if files exist after Ivy startup:

ivy@22ae6389e9e5:/usr/lib/axonivy-engine-7x/dropins$ ls -ltr
total 956
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ivy ivy   2028 Mar  8  2018 README.html
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ivy ivy 962431 Jul 19  2018 com.axonivy.auth.valve.AuthenticationValve_1.0.0.201807190929.jar
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ivy ivy   1622 Aug  1  2018 workflow.klara_patchNoBusinessCaseQuery_1.0.0.201807311434.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 ivy ivy   8078 Nov  5  2018 webserver.rest.extension.patch_1.0.0.201805241153.jar

3) Check if JARs are listed using ss in console, but all the JARs in dropins are not listed:

Axon.ivy Engine is running and ready to serve. [19778ms] Type 'shutdown' and confirm with ENTER to stop the running engine instance ss "Framework is launched."

3   ACTIVE      org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.3.0.v20180502-1828

As far as I understood, one should copy the JARs into the dropins folder and it should work

Docker, Global Properties, Placeholder, app.yaml

John Moser — Mon, 20 May 2019 11:20:27 -0400

Hi Ivy Team

Assuming I have a global prop such as :

myGlobalProp: http://myIP:1234/whatever

myIP is different for Dev, Test and Prod. Is there a way to "inject" myIP at startup of the Docker image ?

Or generally:

If I want to build an image which should be deployed in Dev, Test and Prod, is there a way to parameterize all the config files used for the Ivy Engine (yaml, xml, etc.) ?

Thanks & Regards John

How do I specify the maximum number of connections to the IvySystemDatabase?

SupportIvyTeam — Fri, 06 Jul 2018 09:27:05 -0400

I would like to increase the size of the database connection pool to the system database. I couldn't find a system property that does that so far.

Can I change the connection pool size and if yes, how?

Migration Ivy Server to another Machine

Stelt0 — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 08:29:28 -0500

Hello, Ivy Team,

We are planning to move one existing installation of Axon.Ivy Server to another machine. What are the pitfalls in such scenarios?

We will copy-paste the whole installation folder to the new server (the file system paths will be the same)
We will attach the AxonIvySystemDatabse to the new server (p.s. we will also migrating to different db server)
We need to change the license file
We need to update the configuration to point to the new db server
Probably we need to update the server name in the Admin UI

All should be straightforward, right ? Are we missing something ?

Best Regards, Yordan

Source Control for Axon.Ivy project

Stelt0 — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 02:20:58 -0400

Hello Ivy Team,

Do you have any advise what is the proper way to setup SVN and Git in order to manage the code ?

I see that the files in \src_dataClasses and \classes folders are deleted (including the .gitignore inside) Also the files inside .settings folder should not be watched for changes, but they need to be part of the initial commit (they contains passwords for the email server in clear text !)

Best Regards, Yordan

Engine stettings store

Stelt0 — Mon, 24 Apr 2017 08:08:34 -0400

Hello, Ivy Team!

I`m looking for a way to restore the default server setting of the Engine manually.

I have found the table that stores the default values: SELECT * FROM public.iwa_systemproperty

can you tell me where I can find the applied configurations ? are they in another table or in a file ?

p.s. I need to restore the manually, because I accidentally changed some of the address settings and the AdminUI is not longer accessible for me.

Best Regards, Yordan

How to avoid the Error Http Status Code 409?

Jailson Brito — Tue, 07 Feb 2017 18:32:50 -0500

Scenario:

user1 authenticates and starts a task;
Then, user1 closes the browser window with the task open;
Finally, authenticates again and try to do the task.

Then, it throw the Error: "Error Http Status Code 409", ConflictRequestException: "You cannot work on the task '305 - User 1 - Task 1 - ' with the identifier '41' because the user 'user1' is currently working on it.".

The simulation doesn't start before the error, so I am wondering if it could be just a configuration on Axon Ivy. My Question is How to avoid the Error Http Status Code 409?

Any help is appreciated.

Notes:

In my user application, the tasks are showing using the approach explained in findWorkTasks() never returns tasks in TaskState.RESUMED state;
Since it's not reliable in all browsers, I am avoiding to handle the window closing: Detecting when the user closes the window or tab of the browser in a Html Dialog;
It seems that the Portal handles the action differently for RESUMED and SUSPENDED tasks, that's my plan B;
Engine Version 6.0.5;

start ControlCenter.sh in headless mode

RemiMorin — Wed, 01 Feb 2017 17:17:36 -0500

I try to start the ControlCenter in headless mode, but I hit this error: java.awt.HeadlessException: No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.

There is no XServer on this machine so the error does make sens. Documentation mention we can start it in command line mode: http://developer.axonivy.com/doc/latest/EngineGuideHtml/misc.html#misc-toolreference-servercontrolcenter

But I can't manage to make it work. I've try various switch and various syntax (-headless, -h) and try to display an help file somehow (-?,?... )

I've try to figure it out by looking at ControlCenter.sh content, control.conf and launcher.sh. Didn't find anything relevant. This is on our version of engine 6.0.5. I've try to run the 6.3 version as well (present on this server) and I got the same exception.

Ivy datasources: bottle neck

namnguyenwow — Mon, 01 Aug 2016 12:08:45 -0400

Hello Ivy team,

By the default, an ivy datasource has max connection is "5". Now we are facing with an issue that our application run very slowly. If we change the max connection from "5" to "50", the performance is really better, we can see the big different result after changing.

The question is what is the suitable number of max connection? And can you share a little bit how you handle the connection pool in Ivy?

Best regards, Nam Nguyen

Use of Connection Pool

Michael — Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:17:17 -0500

Is it possible to use the connection pool from ivy in a Java class?

I currently reading the database configuration with : Ivy.wfCase().getApplication().findExternalDatabaseConfiguration("myDB")

and open the configuration with: ch.ivyteam.db.jdbc.DatabaseUtil.openConnection(dbConf) ch.ivyteam.db.jdbc.DatabaseUtil.DatabaseUtil.closeConnection(conn);

With this approach it doesn't use the pooled connections like in an ivy database step.

How to configure (INFO) logging upon entering Axon Ivy subprocesses ?

knd — Tue, 05 May 2015 11:59:54 -0400

Currently, the Axon Ivy server only logs the database transactions and web service activities without explicitly using ivy.log.info() within the code.

For the purpose of debugging, what we want to achieve is the same INFO logging at each subprocess's entry regardless of whether or not the flows contain database transactions and web services. Two pending questions are:

How do we configure Axon Ivy server so that the logging happens automatically at entering the subprocesses with those subprocesses' information?
For performance purpose, we might not want to log all the subprocesses but only a few selected ones. Is there whitelist configuration coming along?

Thank you in advance.

how do I set alternative gateway to interrogate the database ?

andachirita — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 11:05:23 -0400

Hi ,

in my project I've set the following conditions in the alternative gateway :

in.Login.givenpassword.matches(in.Login.parola.parola) !in.Login.givenpassword.matches(in.Login.parola.parola)

So it the password from the database is correct , it goes further , if password interrogated in the database is not correct the process goes to the alternative gateway to login again .

The problem is that it does not matter what I type in the password field as process goes on the same path : !in.Login.givenpassword.matches(in.Login.parola.parola)

What am I doing wrong ?

Regards, Anda

Create System-DB on DB-Server without EngineConfigurationUI

SupportIvyTeam — Tue, 17 Feb 2015 14:08:17 -0500

With the AxonIvyEngineConfigurationUI I can create a MS-SQL DB on my developer workstation. In production I do not have enough rights to create a System-DB on the SQL Server. So our operations team must create the empty System-DB without Java on the DB-Server. Is there a dump that can be used to for this task?

How to config send email daily?

khanh11166 — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 05:36:18 -0400

Hi all,

I read on the server Guide and implement like this, but it's not working. Current config now is work with send Email when create new task. This is my step:

This just work only one time when I restart Ivyserver. Thanks in advance for any idea support me about this problem!!!

How to increase java heap space

Marco Birchler — Fri, 16 May 2014 11:48:26 -0400

I get the following exception when I try to upload a file (33MB) with a webservice in ivy 4.3.21:

Is there a simple way to increase the java heap space or is there any other solution available to upload bigger files? A file with 24MB can be uploaded without any problem. The webservice would support MTOM and excepts the file data as an javax.activation.DataHandler object.

Too much connect to Ivy Server via IIS

namanhem — Thu, 08 May 2014 12:36:07 -0400

Hello everyone

Is there any way to config IIS Server and Ivy Server open more than 300 connections?

I have an application run on Ivy Server, and i can connect to application from Internet via IIS server. My problem: if there are more than 300 connection to Ivy Server, the IIS Server is crashed, then i can not connect to Ivy Server too -:)

I configured worker.XpertIvyServer.max_packet_size and WebServer.AJP.PacketSize but IIS Server alway crash if there are too much connection

Do you have any solution to make IIS not crash?

I use Window Server 2012 and Ivy Server 5.0.5

Thank so much,

Markus Rührmair — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:18:12 -0500

In our current configuration we use IIS as front-end to ivy. E.g IIS shows a 404 when requesting a non-existing or already finished task.

Any hints for a configuration that is more user friendly? Is there a way to use the ivy error messages at that point ?

Thanks an best regards

How to develop/debug classes that are integrated in the faces-config.xml?

Nikel Weis — Thu, 28 Nov 2013 10:48:28 -0500

What is the best way/practice to develop and debug classes which need to be referenced in the faces-config.xml? I've this problem with custom validators and a custom phase listener that should be implemented.

My current approach is to close the Designer and start it again for every debug or development step, which makes development of custom validators and PhaseListeners a pain. Is there a better way to have access to debugging & development facilities?

How to integrate custom PhaseListener in faces-config.xml?

Nikel Weis — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 16:31:49 -0500

I want to implement a custom PhaseListener in my faces-config.xml like it is suggested at stack overflow. So this is my faces-config.xml:

<lifecycle>
        <phase-listener>org.apache.myfaces.extensions.validator.core.startup.ExtValStartupListener</phase-listener>
        <phase-listener>org.apache.myfaces.extensions.validator.beanval.startup.JSF2AwareBeanValidationStartupListener</phase-listener>
        <phase-listener>org.apache.myfaces.extensions.validator.beanval.startup.BeanValidationStartupListener</phase-listener>
        <phase-listener>de.azt.MyPhaseListener</phase-listener>
</lifecycle>

And this is MyPhaseListener-Dummy:

public class MyPhaseListener implements PhaseListener {

    @Override
    public PhaseId getPhaseId() {
        return PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE;
    }

    @Override
    public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent event) {
        // Do your job here which should run right before the RENDER_RESPONSE.
    }

    @Override
    public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent event) {
        // Do your job here which should run right after the RENDER_RESPONSE.
    }

}

But this approach leads the application server to crash:

HTTP Status 500 - serialFactory

type Exception report

message serialFactory

description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: serialFactory
    javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:229)

    ch.ivyteam.ivy.dialog.execution.jsf.controller.rest.IvyRestServiceFilter.doFilter(IvyRestServiceFilter.java:54)
    ch.ivyteam.ivy.dialog.execution.jsf.controller.IvyFacesInstanceFilter.filterAsSystem(IvyFacesInstanceFilter.java:104)
    ch.ivyteam.ivy.dialog.execution.jsf.controller.IvyFacesInstanceFilter.access$0(IvyFacesInstanceFilter.java:79)
    ch.ivyteam.ivy.dialog.execution.jsf.controller.IvyFacesInstanceFilter$1.call(IvyFacesInstanceFilter.java:55)
    ch.ivyteam.ivy.dialog.execution.jsf.controller.IvyFacesInstanceFilter$1.call(IvyFacesInstanceFilter.java:1)
    ch.ivyteam.ivy.security.internal.SecurityManager.executeAsSystem(SecurityManager.java:1425)

So how is it possible to implement a custom PhaseListener?

UTF-8 Encoding Ivy Server

tauser — Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:41:11 -0500

IvyServer 4.3.18 What should we set or take into account, if want server to work completly in UTF-8 (Also Emails. 1. from email element. 2. also new task mail)
