  • 1.  How to store the jar files on App Connect iPaaS platform

    Posted 9 days ago

    Hello,

    I am exploring options on how to store the jar files on App Connect iPaaS platform as we currently store the jar files under shared classes as described below.

    Could you please let me know how this can be achieved on App Connect iPaaS platform

    Today

    JARs sit in a local directory

    Imperfectly suggesting they are in "/var/mqsi/config/{broker-name}/shared-classes". 

    In other words, they sit at the broker level.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Sainath

    Hello,

    You can package the JAR files within the BAR file that you are deploying: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/12.0?topic=file-adding-resources-bar

    NB. There is a 50MB limit on the size of BAR files that can be uploaded to the managed service: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/saas?topic=integrations-supported-resources-in-imported-bar-files

    Hi Martin Ross,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I do have an follow up question - 

    what if the jars themselves are > 50 MB?

    Thanks and Regards,

    Sainath

    If there really is a requirement to support JAR files >50MB then this would need to be raised as an enhancement request at: https://integration-development.ideas.ibm.com/

    What is the use case here - how big is the JAR file that you are looking to leverage?

    What is the use case here - We have a custom framework which we implement in our company that needs jar files > 50MB. Approximately the jar file size is 78 MB.

    I was hoping if there is a way to create a zip file of all the jars and create a "Generic files" Configuration and upload the Zip File to the Generic files Configuration  and use the start up scripts in server.conf.yaml

    From the documentation (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/containers_cd?topic=runtimes-generic-files-type):

    The maximum recommended size of a .zip file for a configuration is approximately 660 KB

    There is a request for the same at the following link - if this is something you would like then please add a vote: https://integration-development.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/APPC-I-857

    With regards to the 78MB JAR file - do you require all of the contents of the JAR file, is there potential to split this into multiple files or remove files that are not used?
