We had published a blog in developerWorks that discusses an approach to build a DevOps pipeline for IBM App Connect Enterprise on Cloud Pak for Integration. This blog is in continuation to that and discusses how you can extend the same approach to build and deploy IBM App Connect Designer flows on CP4I.
In most common scenarios, you might need to deploy related App Connect Designer flows and App Connect Enterprise flows on the same integration server. In this blog, we will demonstrate one such scenario.
Here we assume that you have already configured the build server for deploying ACE flows as described in the above blog. If not done yet, you may first follow the steps mentioned in the above blog.
We have published a command line utility to convert App Connect designer yaml files to ACE BAR files. This blog makes use of this utility.
https://github.com/ot4i/bar-build
For this demonstration, we will create two additional folders inside the App Connect project:
- Properties folder: This folder will contain properties files for different environments, e.g. DEV.properties and QA.properties. These properties files would contain the environment specific parameter values to be used in the mqsiapplybaroverride command to override environment specific properties.
- Build folder: This folder will contain the Jenkins pipeline script for the App Connect project. So the build script for the App Connect project is also checked-in to source control.
For this demonstration, I have created one App Connect designer project and one ACE toolkit project which are checked-in at the location below:
AppConnect designer project: https://github.com/awasthan/Designer_Slack_Alert_API
AppConnect toolkit project: https://github.com/awasthan/Test.App
Let us examine the ‘jenkinsfile’ script for the App Connect designer project.
When you deploy the exported BAR file for an API flow in your cluster, you can indicate whether you want to use cloud-managed connectors to run API operations on the applications that are referenced in the flow. To use cloud-managed connectors, access to an App Connect on IBM Cloud instance is required.
In this example, I have used a Slack connector, which is a cloud managed connector. Follow the Knowledge Center link below to understand the required configurations for the cloud managed connector:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSTTDS_11.0.0/com.ibm.ace.icp.doc/run-designerflow-in-acesoftware/overridebarconfig.html
Let us examine one properties file that is used to override the BAR files for an environment.
You can run the mqsireadbar command to get the list of properties in the BAR file, which can be overridden.
Now let us create the Jenkins build job for this Designer_Slack_Alert_API project.
Create a Jenkins pipeline project with the name ‘Designer_Slack_Alert_API’.
Specify to read the pipeline script from SCM and enter the GitHub project location, credential to access GitHub and the path of the jenkinsfile in the project.
Click on Save.
Now build the project so that it uploads the BAR files on repository and tags the code. The build-output below shows a successful build of Designer_Slack_Alert_API project.

Now let us look at the Nexus repository to see if BAR files for this version (version 19 here) have been uploaded. The snapshot below shows the zip file containing the version 19 BAR files.
Now let us look at Github if the Designer_Slack_Alert_API source code has been tagged with version 19. The snippet below shows the tag.
We will deploy this ACE designer project with the ACE toolkit ‘Test.App’ project that we created for the demo in the blog mentioned below. Refer to the article below to look at the ‘Test.App’ example project.
An approach to build DevOps pipeline for ACE on Cloud Pak for Integration
Now configure the deployment jobs for each environment. You may have a single parameterized job to deploy to different CP4I environments; however due to security and compliance reasons, you would probably have different deployment jobs for respective environments.
Before the Integration Server starts, the container is checked for the folder /home/aceuser/initial-config.
Refer to https://github.com/ot4i/ace-docker to understand how to supply the required configuration information for Integration Server.
Since we are going to deploy an ACE designer project and an ACE toolkit project on one integration server, we need to make sure integration server configurations are done for both projects as appropriate.
We can have a deployment project containing configuration information, Dockerfile and Jenkinsfile as depicted in the diagram below.
I have a sample deployment job that contains these two files and a Configurations folder.
The sample deployment job is checked-in to Github:
https://github.com/awasthan/Deploy_Slack_API_CP4I.git
- Dockerfile: This file will have instructions to build the image baked with BAR files
- Jenkinsfile: This file will have the pipeline script to deploy to the CP4I environment, and create the Horizontal Pod autoscalar policy etc…
- Configurations: To do other configurations on IntegrationServer, you must pre-install the configuration secret containing the required configurations. A generic template for configuration parameters and a script to generate secrets can be downloaded from the platform navigator while doing manual deployment.
In this sample project, I have done integration server configuration to connect to the cloud managed connector (for Slack connector used in designer flow) and have also configured the Integration server to connect to an IBM EventStreams instance.
Let us look at the setdbparms.txt file inside ‘Configurations’ folder.
The first two lines are for setting-up the truststore password and securityIdentity to be used by the ACE flow; while the third line is to setup security identity for the designer flow to connect to the Cloud managed connector. Follow the below link to create IBM Cloud API key:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSTTDS_11.0.0/com.ibm.ace.icp.doc/run-designerflow-in-acesoftware/creatingapikey.html
Let us examine the Dockerfile.
Let us examine the parts of jenkinsfile. This pipeline has been parameterized to accept some parameters dynamically. It does following tasks:
- Checks-out the deployment project
- Pulls the specified versions (ACE_APP1_VERSION and ACE_APP2_VERSION) of BAR files from Nexus repository for ACE_APP1 and ACE_APP2.
- Logs-in to the OCP registry of a specified CP4I instance
- Builds the docker image using the Dockerfile and DEV BAR files and pushes to the OCP registry
- Executes the generateSecrets.sh script to create secret using the configuration files inside ‘Configurations’ folder
- Performs helm deployment. Notice the name of ACE image (image.aceonly) in helm install command. Since we are using ace only image, so value of ‘imageType’ has been specified as ‘ace’. If you are using ACE with MQ client or ACE with MQ server, the value of ‘imageType’ would be ‘acemqclient’ and ‘acemqserver’ respectively. Make sure to specify the image parameter based on imageType. Also notice that ‘designerFlowsOperationMode=all’ enables for local and cloud managed connectors.
- If it is a new helm release being installed, horizontal autoscalar policy (hpa) is being created
- If it is an upgrade to existing helm release, it only upgrades the helm release and horizontal autoscalar policy is left unchanged
- Performs the clean-up

Now let us look at the Jenkins pipeline Job for this.
Parameters have been defined for all the placeholders in above jenkinsfile.
Pipeline script has been configured to pull from Github.
Similarly you can configure deployment job for QA environment and so on.
Now let us deploy an IntegrationServer that contains version 18 of ‘Designer_Slack_Alert_API’ and version 20 for ‘Test.App’. Also note that, the base image of ACE being pulled in docker file is version 11.0.0.8.
Click on ‘Build with Parameters’ for the deployment job and supply the values for parameters.
Click on Build.
Below is the snippet of build logs.
