In following along with https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/cloud-object-storage/iam/service-credentials.html#service-credentials I have tried multiple times to create my HMAC creadentials for usage in my application, however the credentials created do not contain cos_hmac_keys.
This should be simple enough, I added
{"HMAC":true}
to the inline JSON config for my credential creation, but still am having no luck. Any insight here would be great.
I had a same issue and here's my suggestion.
I'm wondering if your object-storage instance is newly-created or created long time ago.If it's old, then why don't you try to create a new one , as, in my case, I failed in my old instance and successfully created in my newly-created instance.( Each has a little bit different UI/Looks/IConslike this

So I have a crud applicatio here this is the link
https://crud-application-x.herokuapp.com/getstudents
my boss was telling me this
Add one record that I can see when I visit the url.
what does it mean by adding a record on a crud app. Does it mean adding new data
I think the issue here is not related to a misunderstanding, but that you're both looking at different things. You're probably testing it at your development environment only and everything works as expected. Your boss, on the other hand, is using the app through the URL you've provided and is unable to create a new student.
The issue here is that you are not using the right address to access your API in production, so the student is never created, take a look:
The address http://localhost:3200/... will only work on your development environment. Once axios can't reach the server, adding a new student throws an Error: Network Error.
In order to fix this, you'll have to start using the right URL for each environment. The easiest way to do so, in my opinion, is through environment variables.
How to set up an environment variable
As it looks like you're using create-react-app, this resource will help you set them up as needed. As a simple example, you can create the following two files at your app root directory:
.env.development
REACT_APP_API_PATH=http://localhost:3200
.env.production
REACT_APP_API_PATH=https://crud-application-x.herokuapp.com
Now you can easily use the right URL for each environment:
axios.post(`${process.env.REACT_APP_API_PATH}/students/addStudent`)
I'm trying to create a "Bridge" from Message Hub to S3 Object Storage, copying information from the credentials that I created but I always get an error that says "Please trying refreshing the page, or logging back into Bluemix."
I have already created an access policy for these credentials and the Bucket I want to use as destination.
Also tried with private and public end-points.
I wasn't able to found documentation that explains how to accomplish this. Nothing seems to work.
Thanks!
Apologies, this is an internal error caused by the S3 Object Storage bridges capability being made available in the UI but not in the backend.
An update to the Message Hub service will be made this week to correct this.
My GAE app publishes some APIs in GCP and uses the following structure:
# Replace the following lines with client IDs obtained from the APIs
# Console or Cloud Console.
WEB_CLIENT_ID = '????????????.apps.googleusercontent.com'
ALLOWED_CLIENT_IDS = [WEB_CLIENT_ID, endpoints.API_EXPLORER_CLIENT_ID]
SCOPES = [endpoints.EMAIL_SCOPE]
#endpoints.api(name=API_NAME,
version=API_VERSION,
description='An API to manage languages',
allowed_client_ids=ALLOWED_CLIENT_IDS,
scopes=SCOPES)
My doubt is if someone picks this source code from my machine or GitHub project. He or she can access the APIs using the discovered web client id.
What’s the best practice in this case?
I acknowledge that the client can expose the ID and someone have access to it. But I believe that is another matter.
There are many ways you can do this. One way is to always check in a default value for the client ID, so that when people check out your code, they have to modify it to deploy it. You can also move the client ID to its own module and not check it in at all, and make the expectation that they create their own module with their own client ID. This avoids having a modified state for a checked in file all of the time.
The client ID itself is not sufficient information to generate a valid token. The cryptography involved will prevent such a person from accessing your API.
I would like to accesss the sitecore DB and items from console application like
Sitecore.Data.Database db = Sitecore.Context.Database
or
Sitecore.Data.Database db = Sitecore.Data.Database.GetDatabase("master")
how do I configure and setup my console application to access the DB as above?
Thanks Everyone for the suggestion, I am really interested in config changes, I used webservice, but it has very limited methods. For example, if I would like create an Item with the template and insert the item with prepopulated value, there is no such option. The reason I am looking for the console apporach is I would like to import the contents from XML or excel sheet and push those to the sitecore tree, eventually use the scheduled task to run the console app periodically. I do not want to copy the entire web.config and app_config. If anyone has already done this, could you please post your steps and necessary config changes?
You have two options I think:
1) Import the Sitecore bits of a website's web.config into your console application's app.config, so that the Sitecore API "just works"
I'm sure I read a blog post about this, but I can't find the reference right now. (I will have another look) But I think the simple but long winded approach is to copy all of the <sitecore/> element and all the separate files it references. I'm fairly sure you can whittle this down to a subset of the config required for data access with a bit of thinking.
2) Don't use the Sitecore API directly, connect to a web service that exposes access to it remotely.
There are a few of these that already exist. Sitecore itself exposes one, Sitecore Rocks has one, and Hedgehog TDS has one too. And you can always write your own (since any web service running inside the Sitecore ASP.Net app can make database calls and report values back and forth - just remember to consider security if this web service might end up exposed externally for any reason)
John West links to some relevant stuff here:
http://www.sitecore.net/Learn/Blogs/Technical-Blogs/John-West-Sitecore-Blog/Posts/2013/09/Getting-Data-Out-of-the-Sitecore-ASPNET-CMS.aspx
-- Edited to add --
I've not found the blog post I remember. But I came across this SO thread:
Accessing Sitecore API from a CLI tool
which refers to this blog post:
http://www.experimentsincode.com/?p=232
which I think gives the info you'll need for option 1.
(And it reminds me that, of course, when you copy the config stuff you have to copy the Sitecore binaries into your app's folder as well)
I would just like to expand on #JermDavis' post and note that Sitecore isn't a big fan of being accessed when not in a web application. However, if you still want to do this, you will need to make sure that you have all of the necessary configuration settings from the web.config and App_Config of your site in your console application's app.config file.
Moreover, you will never be able to call Sitecore.Context in a console application, as the Sitecore Context sits on top of the HttpContext which means that it must be an application and have a valid request for you to use it. What you are looking for is something more along the lines of Sitecore.Configuration.Factory.GetDatabase("master").
Good luck and happy coding :)
This sounds like a job for the Sitecore Item Web API. I use the Sitecore Item Web API whenever I need to access Sitecore data from the master database outside the context of the Content Management server or outside of the context of the Sitecore application. The Web API definitely does not allow you to do everything that the standard Sitecore API does but it can act as a good base and I now extend upon the Web API instead of writing my own custom web services whenever possible.
Thanks to JemDavis's advise.
After I copied the configuration and made changes to config section to get rid of conflicts. I copied almost all of Sitrecore, analytics and lucene dlls, it worked great.
Only thing you have to remember is, copy the app_config folder to the same location where your dlls are.
Thanks again JemDavis....
I'm still new to Liferay and using Liferay 6.2
what i'm doing:
I am trying to add a document manually into my database using insert statement.
I inserted into dlfileentry, dlfileversion and AssertEntry.
Also, i created a folder with the valid name and file.
The issue:
upon entering the Documents and Media portlet, i can see the document name there but when i click on checkout, it will prompt a error saying that Documents and Media is temporarily unavailable. however i am still able to download the valid document.
Am i doing something wrong? Personally, i feel that i am missing one more table for the database but i'm not sure .
Thanks!
Yes, you're doing something wrong: You should never write to Liferay's database with SQL, as there might be more data required than what's directly visible to you. Obviously, you're running into exactly such an issue.
Liferay has an API which you can use locally, from within the same application server, or remotely as JSON or SOAP service. You should exclusively use this for write access to the database.
Alternatively, you might consider WebDAV access to your document repository as the way to add more documents to the document library.
