    Connecting to Slack from an App Connect Designer instance in a containerized environment (local connector)

    Connecting to Slack from an App Connect Designer instance in a containerized environment (local connector)
    If you are using an App Connect Designer instance within an installation of IBM Cloud Pak for Integration or IBM App Connect Enterprise certified container, and have enabled locally available connectors, you can choose to use a local connector to connect to your Slack account.

    I followed the instructions in https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/saas?topic=slack-connecting-from-containerized-environment-local-connector#connect_container__get_access_token but I cannot connect. I have attached the log error.

    Hello Amit,

    Could you please confirm the environment that you are running? Is this App Connect Enterprise Certified Containers, Cloud Pak for Integration or App Connect Enterprise running in containerised environment with custom images?

    Some of the paths within the error log you attach (i.e. /home/ace12user/ace-12.0.11.0/tools/tkelectronapp/resources/) imply that you are using the Toolkit authoring experience opposed to Designer - could you confirm?

    Could you confirm what you are attempting to do at the time you are seeing those errors?

    Hi Martin,

    Thanks for getting back to me. I am not running Cloud Pak for Integration or App Connect Enterprise running in containerised environment with custom images. I am running an IBM App Connect Enterprise installation in 'developer' mode on Ubuntu.

    Here is some information.

    $ lsb_release -a
    LSB Version: core-11.1.0ubuntu4-noarch:security-11.1.0ubuntu4-noarch
    Distributor ID: Ubuntu
    Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
    Release: 22.04
    Codename: jammy
    I am connecting a GitHub discovery node to a Slack node. I used this video https://youtu.be/ow-DZpUqizY?si=xeYiFfMWGJL94P3F to help me.

    Hello,

    Could you confirm what you are doing specifically at the time that you see the issue you have reported?

    • Have you added the Slack Request Node to the canvas in Toolkit?
    • Have you clicked on "Launch connector discovery" and provided details of a valid Policy Project and Vault?
    • Have you clicked "Launch discovery" and has a second window appeared to allow you to perform discovery for the Slack Request Node?
      • This second window is the Electron process, I believe from the logs you have got to this step?

    The error logs indicate some timeouts, but it is not clear what you are doing at the time - what information are you entering, have you clicked a particular button... What stage are you at in the process and what is the behaviour that you are experiencing specifically?
