In the bluemix microservice architecture page, the list of supported components does not feature

1. API Connect and
2. Service Proxy
   
   options even though they both are essential for creating and managing microservices.

In doc https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/docs/blob/master/openwhisk/openwhisk_catalog.md

The sentence:

The content of the generated events depends on the value of the value of the includeDocs parameter when creating the trigger. If set to true, each trigger event that is fired includes the modified Cloudant document.

contains depends on the value of the value of the includeDocs it should be depends on the value of the includeDoc

The Slack example for OpenWhisk requires the leading hash in the channel name for it to work properly, however the included example is missing it.

https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/docs/blob/master/openwhisk/openwhisk_catalog.md

Incorrect: wsk package bind /whisk.system/slack mySlack --param url 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/...' --param username 'Bob' --param channel 'MySlackChannel'

Correct: wsk package bind /whisk.system/slack mySlack --param url 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/...' --param username 'Bob' --param channel '#MySlackChannel'

In the Node.js doc for applications, and in a lot of other places, can we be more specific about the nature of the function arguments? I.e., what are

• deviceType
• deviceId
• eventType
• format
• payload - Device event payload
• topic - Original topic

As a developer, I'd be interested to learn from the documentation about

• restrictions on type of the argument (string, number, json, object, ...)
• expected format (regex, structure, ...)
• what's the maximum/minimum length/value, if any
  etc.

I found this while reading this external BM doc page:

https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/openwhisk/openwhisk_actions.html

I believe that maps to this page in this repo:

https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/docs/blob/master/openwhisk/openwhisk_actions.md

In that page search for this text: "The References detail the Node.js packages that you can use in your actions". The word reference is a link and it's broken. The broken link is to:

https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/docs/blob/master/openwhisk/reference.md#runtime-environment

But I think it needs to be to this page:

https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/openwhisk/openwhisk_reference.html#openwhisk_ref_javascript

It needs to be to the "Node.js runtime environments", but I'm not sure that has an anchor.

This topic - https://hub.jazz.net/docs/deploy_ext/#globalize needs to be reviewed and updated because the implementation of IBM GLobalization PIpeline into DevOps Services has been changed due to the GA of the IBM Globalization Pipeline service.

1. The development contact to review the steps is Jacob Garcowski
2. There is a new video which should be linked to. The current video is out of date.

See the new video at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u95i1b0ur7d0j9y/DevOps%20Pipeline.mp4?dl=0

In step 5 of the Cordova Getting Started document when informing the user how to setup the iOS platform the document states to run the application through Xcode (which is correct, otherwise you overwrite your bridging-header).

However, in step 7 the document confuses the user by telling them to run the mobile application using cordova build ios and cordova run ios which is incorrect and results in compile errors.

Please update the document to clarify to the user to only build and run iOS code through Xcode for the HelloWorld sample.

Hi,

on https://presenceinsights.ng.bluemix.net/piui/tryitout there is a link to 2=> Install, "setup" which is dead

The Deployment Docs link on https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/PostgreSQLByCompose/index.html leads to a 404.

https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/cli/plugins/auto-scaling/index.html

Recommendations:

• consistently use bx or bluemix. Recommend bx.
• Instructions re: pointing to repo and downloading autoscale plugin needs to be updated. Latest copies of the command have bluemix repo already configured. Just need to update example:

root@50d3dd648b47:/go/tools/Bluemix_CLI# bx plugin install auto-scaling -r Bluemix
Looking up 'auto-scaling' from repository 'Bluemix'...
Attempting to download the binary file...

Installing plugin...
OK
Plug-in 'auto-scaling 0.2.2' was successfully installed into /root/.bluemix/plugins/auto-scaling.

In openwhisk/openwhisk_catalog.md

The following example:

wsk trigger create myCloudantTrigger --feed /myNamespace/myCloudant/changes --param dbname testdb --param includeDocs true

Otherwise, if `includeDocs` is false, the events include the following parameters:

The parameter name is includeDoc not includeDocs

looking at the object store docs and on the page I see "Using the Object Storage user interface” and then I see "Using the Swift CLI to access Object Storage” but in the left nav they are reversed, so when scrolling there is a weird “jump” in the nav that it skips the entry for "Using the Swift CLI to access Object Storage” and then goes back to the UI menu item

https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/ObjectStorage/index.html#creating-object-storage-instance

I tested successfully that Bluemix cf manifest version is supporting hosts and domains parameter like described in cf documentation
https://docs.run.pivotal.io/devguide/deploy-apps/manifest.html#hosts

Figure 1 on https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/PostgreSQLByCompose/index.html is not displayed by Safari and Firefox.

The content in the Securing Apps page is outdated in some respects. It still lists the region IP addresses for the DNS routing when we now have hostnames for the routers, so a CNAME is more appropriate. I would make sure all info on Tony's blog post (at the minimum) is included in this doc.

admin/index.md shows a sample JSON document with metadata a custom service broker could return. It does not have information which fields are possible, which are mandatory or optional and about their purpose. This should be added

On the page for Creating and connecting a Node-RED device simulator step 1.e., there is a reference to http://simulatedDevice.mybluemix.net from where you could download a Node-RED flow - however the link is broken.

I'm not sure if this is the correct repository, but entering a space character in the search bar on https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/ and pressing Return searches for "undefined".

I don't see anywhere in the OpenWhisk doc about the Alarm package what timezone will be used to interpret cron strings involving hours and longer time scales. For instance:

0 1 * * * * means fire the trigger at 1 AM every day. But 1 AM in what timezone? Is it UTC?

My OS X with zsh (installed from brew), doesn't have a /etc/zshenv, only /etc/zshrc.

As with cf org-users, bx iam org-users also returns blank lines.

I have access to this information for the org in question (I can see it in the Bluemix dashboard), so this seems strange, as I'd expect a dedicated Bluemix CLI to send back the correct information.

The same problem is encountered for space-users.

cf version 6.15.0+fa1bfe2-2016-01-13
bx version 0.3.0-4b6b71d-2016-02-19T09:07:14+00:00

NodeJS Action runtime was updated with:

• socket.io-client
• ws

Need to wait to be deployed to production to update the docs.

In https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/docs/blob/master/openwhisk/openwhisk_catalog.md

Add some examples on how to use the cron trigger

Here are some examples of the frequency indicated by the string:

• * * * * * *: every second.
• 0 * * * * *: top of every minute.
• * 0 * * * *: top of every hour.
• 0 0 9 8 * *: at 9:00:00AM (UTC) on the eighth day of every month

And correct example, it should be '*/20not/20`

  wsk trigger create periodic --feed /whisk.system/alarms/alarm --param cron '/20 * * * * *' --param trigger_payload '{"name":"Odin","place":"Asgard"}'

I have try for bluemix for several days.
Very impressive of the platform.
I like your docker container hosting.
And i want to upgrade account to paid.

But your billing system broken. i submit my credit card information. but the system not success let me upgrade.

I post help ticket in your support system. but day by day goes. not support reply.

Nobody care?
What the bad cloud platform !!!
IBM bluemix, just like a joke.

Following API connect document for basic API creation, the only option available for the type of application that launches with publish command is node.js

In this section the link to 'Configure CLI' is broken - the link is https://www.ng.bluemix.net/openwhisk/cli but clicking on it I get the following message:

404 Not Found: Requested route ('www.ng.bluemix.net') does not exist.

https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/docs/blob/master/services/vpn/vpn_onpremises.md
The VPN config for strongSwan is not clear about how to use the Bluemix Gateway IP address in the configuration /etc/ipsec.all.conf. The Cisco and Viata config examples reference this IP but not the strongSwan example. Make a search for the example IP
IBM VPN gateway IP address: *134.168.8.164 *
How should the onPrem system reach the BMX VPN without specifying the Gateway IP?

I'm not sure if this is the correct repository, but the various Helvetica font files referenced by docs.css don't seem to exist.

Logging into Bluemix - go to your dashbard - on the top right click on Develop

and it gives you a "404: Resource not found":

I have to upload semi-large data files (20-30GB). In object storage v1, i was able to find a way to do a curl that would upload a compressed file, then decompress it once it finished uploading.

What can i do in object storage v3 that would allow me to do the same thing? I dont want to have to upload a 20+ GB file.

On the docs https://new-console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/openwhisk/openwhisk_mobile_sdk.html

It mentions to setup credentials like:

let credentialsConfiguration = WhiskCredentials(accessKey: "myKey", accessToken: "myToken")
let whisk = Whisk(credentials: credentialsConfiguration!)

Where in the Console Dashboard for OpenWhisk can I find the values for Key and Token?

Should be scale your data...

In doc https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/docs/blob/master/openwhisk/openwhisk_catalog.md

The example of inoking myCloudant/write it uses the flag --result
The ouput only contains the json object

  ok: invoked /myNamespace/myCoudant/write with id 62bf696b38464fd1bcaff216a68b8287
  response:
  {
    "id": "heisenberg",
    "ok": true,
    "rev": "1-9a94fb93abc88d8863781a248f63c8c3"
  }

It should be :

  ok: invoked /myNamespace/myCoudant/write with id 62bf696b38464fd1bcaff216a68b8287
  {
    "id": "heisenberg",

  }

Not yet deployed, but it's already implemented in https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk/blob/master/catalog/weather/forecast.js

This issue to track if the new action get's deployed to bluemix, then the docs needs to updated to reflect the change.

New docs look like this:

Using the Weather package

The /whisk.system/weather package offers a convenient way to call the IBM Weather Insights API.

The package includes the following action.

While not required, it's suggested that you create a package binding with the apiKey value. This way you don't need to specify the key every time you invoke the actions in the package.

Getting a weather forecast for a location

The /whisk.system/weather/forecast action returns a weather forecast for a location by calling an API from The Weather Company. The parameters are as follows:

• apiKey: An API key for The Weather Company that is entitled to invoke the forecast API.
• latitude: The latitude coordinate of the location.
• longitude: The longitude coordinate of the location.
• timeperiod: Time period for the forecast. Valid options are '10day' - (default) Returns a daily 10-day forecast , '24hour' - Returns an hourly 2-day forecast, , 'current' - Returns the current weather conditions, 'timeseries' - Returns both the current observations and up to 24 hours of past observations, from the current date and time.

On the following link:
https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/ObjectStorage/index.html

Under COMPATIBLE RUNTIMES, the link for SDK for Node.js is broken and should probably go the following location:

https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/runtimes/nodejs/index.html#nodejs_runtime

Steps to reiterate the issue.

1. Click on Service Discovery option in the Integrate tab of bluemix.
2. Create the service discovery service.
3. Follow the documentation inside the tab" Register a microservice".
   This documentation only includes steps to a container instance and does not provide information on how to register a CF application.

Going to Documentation links, I see no headers on the pull-down menus in the right column.
Getting Started: https://new-console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/blockchain/index.html
and all other frames using the same structure.

https://media.github.ibm.com/user/12622/files/908c3622-5f07-11e6-84c2-f17838d49c02

However, since I know they are there, if I click the little arrows that exist for each chapter/page header, then the submenus do open up and I can click the links.

In contrast, using Firefox for Ubuntu canonical, version 47.0, it looks and behaves correctly (I can see and click the link "Getting Started" on the first line and open submenus, and also "About BlockChain" on the second line, etc.)

Jason Kirke says Chrome works ok on Windows. (His Chrome version is 52.) We should fix this on Linux Chrome, or on the older versions of Chrome, (depending on the actual root cause), or else state somewhere what the minimum supported version numbers are.

@sefuhrer : One of our testers came across this

When developing a Docker action for OpenWhisk, I hit a OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files error. It would be good to document what the ulimits are on Docker containers to help scope development.

On step 5 of the following link we should add the buildpack
https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/dashDB/index-gentopic1.html#managing_instance

For example, it should be the following:
cf push -b https://github.com/zendtech/zend-server-php-buildpack-bluemix
or the db2phpbuildpack

cf push -b https://github.com/ibmdb/db2heroku-buildpack-php

Related to update from apache/openwhisk#637

Documentation for subscribing to device commands seems to be missing entirely from the documentation. I did a search in the entire docs and found nothing.

in new-console.ng.bluemix.net the "Deploy your app to {{site.data.keyword.Bluemix_notm}}. For more information about cf push command, see Uploading your application." is broken. When clicking on the link the https://new-console.ng.bluemix.net/apps/upload_app.html does not resolve.
