  • 1.  App Connect - CP4I vs App Connect - Containers CD

    Posted Tue October 05, 2021 12:52 PM
    Hello,

    App Connect for container world is distributed in two forms : as a capability in CP4I and certified container (containers_cd). 

    What is the difference between these two ? The reason why I ask the question is, I could see some differences mainly in the ACE dashboard between the instances one in IBM cloud & other running in IBM IKS cluster.. e.g.

    1. Unavailability of activity logs
    2. Unable to stop the integration server
    3. The ingress service routes for the API end points are not updated in the dashboard 
    4. No possibility to remote debugging flow from toolkit

    Any one noticed these ?

    Hi Sujeeth

    The ACE Dashboard in CP4I caters to all the IntegrationServers that you have deployed in the namespace.
    On the other hand, When you are running an ACEcc image in a container ,  it effectively means you are running an individual IS and you  then connect to the WebUI interface  of the IS ( it is not same as Dashboard).  Therefore, there is a difference in options (like activitylog, start/stop IS etc..)  that you would see between the two.
    In CP4I , you can still connect to Individual IS' WebUI  by creating a route to port 7600 and be able to see those options you mentioned above.

    Regards.

    Hello Amar,

    Thanks for feedback. From the recent release of App Connect operator, it is possible to deploy ACE dashboard instance, & like you mentioned, it allows to deploy several bar files, which are eventually individual integration servers. This seems to be similar to ace dashboard in CP4I. Then, following your feedback, what is the purpose of ace dashboard instance provided in App connect operator.
