I'm using System Platform and deploying InTouch application.And I try to make distributed application. There is a server with InTouch Apps and a computer work station, that has to display InTouch Apps. How could I configure distributed application in System Platform?
Assuming existing installation
Create Instance of WinPlatform (Usually under /System in template Toolbox). Assign IP
Create Instance of ViewEngine (again in template Toolbox) Assign to newly created WinPlatfrom)
Create Instance of existing Intouch Application or create new instance of $InTouchViewApp.
Deploy WinPlatform, ViewEngine and Intouch Application.
Test Deployed application on target Platform.
Cheers!

we have two symfony 4 application (web app & rest api) running on two different docker container on the same "real" server (for now).
The files (like picture or documents) are stored in the web app public directory for the moment but we want to share this files to the rest api as well.
What is the best way to share them ?
Store them on the docker parent server ? Build a new web server for this files and access them by sftp ?
We want to have all access (by the two app) on the new file system, like make directory, put files, delete files and directories.
As I understand you're using 1 docker container for web app + 1 container for rest api. To store files (images, documents ...) on web app public directory is not a good solution.
If you decide to have more replicas (more containers) of web app you'll have trouble.
One solution will be to have a service where to store all you're application files and use it by all your app containers.
You can you Minio Server for Docker to create this service and in your symfony application use that minio server service for all your application instances. See here an example >> How to use AWS SDK for PHP with Minio Server
Consider to use a distributed file system such as GlusterFS, that should fit your needs.
All container can have the shared volume write and read from it. And also it works great on swarm.
I lead a web/mobile project and I still need to know the tools we will be using for development.
We have a 6 months access to IBM Bluemix, and its security check tools, CloudFoundry, and others may appear really useful.
However, we don't want to rely on a solution that would trap our project without any possibility of migration if needed.
I looked up on the internet how to export a project from Bluemix as a docker, with elements created from IBM. I didn't find anything relevant (I might be bad at googling, but all I can find is "how to export to Bluemix/how to work locally").
Does Bluemix allow to export the entire project onto another hoster, does it depend on the services we used in the project ?
Thank you in advance.
If you package your application in a container you can run it on any provider that supports Docker. That could be another cloud, in a local datacenter or on your own laptop.
If you are planning to use Bluemix services as part of that application then you will have two options if moving your application off Bluemix.
Keep using the services in Bluemix but connect to them remotely from wherever you're now hosting your appliaction. This will require internet connectivity and you'll have to hard code the service credentials in to your application (not good practice).
Migrate the services as well as the application. This will only be possible for the non-unique services IBM offer e.g. Redis, Mongo, Elasticsearch etc.. You'll need to refactor your application to accept the new provider of these services.
If your service/app is dockerized, and is being hosted as a container on Bluemix.
You can pull the container image of your service/app in your own docker enabled cloud or local environment. Following steps can be followed for the same:
install bluemix-container cli package https://www.ng.bluemix.net/docs/containers/container_cli_ov.html
do cf ic login using your bluemix credentials
check for your images using cf ic images command
pull the image in your environment using docker pull <image-registry-url>
run the container with required parameters using docker run
Hope it helps. Thanks.
We are planning on building an application that will be used within our corporate network and we can also extend this application through internet facing to our contractors.
Can a WPF sandbox application (not XBAP) be deployed externally (for example on Windows Azure) while we can still be able to access it internally through the corporate network?
Or If we deploy this internally, is can we be able to give direct access to contractors outside the domain?
I am new to WPF and have looked through WPF deployment documentations but can't find anything on this. Thanks for your help in advance!
I have developed a large scale WPF business application and deployed it using ClickOnce. Although all of the users access it on the local intranet and we don't have any users external to the office, I can confirm that I have used the application whilst at home.
The only thing that you have to worry about is whether all users have permission to access:
the deployment server for installation and updates
all intranet files and folders that the application uses
all database tables, views, stored procedures, etc.
However, if you're not sure, just try it out... it only takes seconds to publish applications using ClickOnce.
I am developing an mobile application which can be run on mobile devices (with OS like Android, iOS, WP7...). This application will get data from online database then store them to local database in device and I can do CRUD with data. There are three ideas:
I'll create a webservice to handle with database on host and use some cross-platform framework to building an app then connect to webservice in order to get and put data to server. Issues:
Which technology should I use to create webservice? (RESTful/SOAP...?)
Which type of return data for easy to handle? (XML/JSON...?)
How to sync between local database and database on host?
I'll make an application for loading an external URL and build a website (with all of features that I need to work with database). Issues:
iOS, Android, WP7... accept for loading external URL in applications?
How to sync data like my first idea?
Should I use single page application technology?
I'll make an application using cross-platform framework and it will work with local database. I just handle syncing between local database and host database. Issue: which is the best database and best framework to do this?
Thank you
How to sync between local database and database on host?
For synchronization, you can take a look at the open source project, OpenMobster's Sync service. You can do all types of sync operations
two-way
one-way client
one-way device
bootup.
Besides that, all modifications are automatically tracked and synced with the Cloud. You can have your app offline when network connection is down. It will track any changes and automatically in the background synchronize it with the cloud when the connection returns. Also, when new data is created in the Cloud, it is automatically synchronized with the local database using Push notifications.
Currently only native development is supported on Android and iOS. However, the next release which is 2.2-M8 (end of March) will support end-to-end integration with PhoneGap on Android and 2.2-M9 (end of April) will add iOS.
Support for PhoneGap will give you the flexibility to build the app using web technologies like HTML5, and JavaScript along with Sync for your local data using OpenMobster.
If you want to go pure native, then you still can use the Sync service and synchronize your local database with your remote database.
Let me know if you have more questions about the framework
Here is a link to the open source project: http://openmobster.googlecode.com
Good Luck!!!
Some suggestions:
If you're planning that your mobile application exchanges data with a server, i strongly suggest you to use RESTful Services. The XML overload associated with SOAP services might get your phone and your network into trouble
The return data can be either JSON or XML. For example, in Blackberry applications i prefer XML because the support included in the SDK.
There are three kinds of mobile applications: Web applications (build with HTML/Javascript and accessed throw a Browser), Native applications (installed in the device and coded in Java/Objective-C or another language) and Hybrid applications (installed in the device but coded in HTML/Javascript and can access some features of the OS). Your URL-Loading type sounds like an Hybrid approach (not quite sure about that), so you can use PhoneGap to build that type of applications.
Hybrid and Web applications uses the capabilities of the phone browser to manage HTML/JavaScript. Now the devices come with very powefull WebKIt-based Browsers, so the single page pattern would work with no problem. Although, it's kind of a wear approach to mobile application design.
I don't see the need of a local database in your app, you can simply handle all the data in the server and access it through RESTful Services on the phone.

Nice!!!
Which technology should I use to create webservice? (RESTful/SOAP...?)
I Will go For REST services.
REST has advantages when:
You have a set of resources that you want to manipulate.
You want to support navigation between resources.
You need scalability.
SOAP has advantages when:
You want to publish a web service description (using WSDL).
WSDL 2 can describe RESTful web service as well. WADL is an alternative to WSDL for RESTful web services.
You want to use security etc. that relies on the use of SOAP headers or some similar mechanism in which data is added and removed from a request.
You want better tooling support.
You want tested platform interoperability.
Which type of return data for easy to handle? (XML/JSON...?)
I personally go for XML
Its not a criteria of which is easy to handle.Its about performance in Mobile applications.
JSON is generally smaller than a XML document and there for faster to work with.JSON can be parsed more efficiently because it can be parsed as JavaScript, which the built-in eval() function will do for you.
How to sync between local database and database on host?
Create a service which contains a timer and runs in background.Call the REST service at intervals to get the latest values. But Since this is a polling kind of thing,then it is not efficient and has less performance. Other Approach will be use of PUSH notifications.As soon as there is any change at the server side, send a push notification to the client(mobile) and hence perform the local database operations.
iOS, Android, WP7... accept for loading external URL in applications?
I didn't understand this point.What you want actually?
Should I use single page application technology?
Single page technology is very good.But it will depend on your business.If it is possible then use it.Else create different HTML pages.
I'll make an application using cross-platform framework and it will work with local database. I just handle syncing between local database and host database. Issue: which is the best database and best framework to do this?
Choosing of the database will depend upon choosing of the cross platform mobile framework.Phonegap is exactly what you need. And the database will be sqlite. Phonegap provide API's for storage,so you can easily access the database of the different mobile platform.
I have a simple WCF service project and a Silverlight project that queries the database through this service.
Is it possible to set the address (actually only the port number since I deploy on localhost) of the service, fixed?
Because everytime I rebuild the web service, it changes the address and I need to update also the ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file from Silverlight in order to update the reference.
You want to configure an ASP.NET project to consistently run on the same port within Visual Studio Development Server?
Right click on your ASP.NET project and select Properties
Choose the Web tab in the properties window (should be the third option)
Under the Servers section (the second section), you'll have a radio button check for Use Visual Studio Development Server, and then by default a subselection labelled Auto-assign Port. Simply change this subselection to Specific port, and then choose a port number.
Now your project will always run under the specified port on the Development Server, e.g. http://localhost:12345/MyService.svc and http://localhost:12345/Default.aspx.
