cognos-dashboard-demo's Introduction

Getting Started with CDE on IBM Cloud

This repo shows a Angular 5.0.0 + Node.js app that demos the IBM Cloud CDE service.

Architecture

Prerequisites

Deployment

In order to deploy to IBM Cloud, you'll need an IBM Cloud account. There are then 2 options to deploy.

Option 1:

Automatically deploy the app using the following deploy to IBM Cloud button.

Option 2:

To run locally and deploy manually from the command line, follow the instructions below.

Repo setup

Getting started:

$ git clone
$ npm install

Running

Before running locally, please make sure to:

Create a new CDE instance and service credentials in IBM Cloud
Ensure that vcap-local.json contains the CDE credentials
Ensure you update the dde_base_url in config-{env}.js and point it to the correct DDE instance.

$ npm run build

Manual Deployment Steps

Use the bx cli to deploy into IBM Cloud:

Create a new Node.JS Cloud Foundry application in IBM Cloud (https://console.bluemix.net/)
Update manifest.yml and environment / config values
Build locally using npm run build or npm run build-prod
Navigate to the app folder
Issue command to set api endpoint: bx api <API-endpoint> (US South https://api.ng.bluemix.net)
Issue command to login: bx login
Follow the prompts to enter IBM Cloud credentials, select account, and target Cloud Foundry org/space
Issue command to push: bx cf push

Angular setup (front-end only)

Build

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build.

Development server

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Would it be possible to provide a sample vcap-local.json for CDE credentials?

RE: Ensure that vcap-local.json contains the CDE credentials
Would it be possible to provide a sample vcap-local.json for CDE credentials?
We notice a vcap-local.sample file that contains a cloudant auth ?

Unknown Initialize API framework Error

Getting the following error on the "Initialize API framework" step after successfully creating a session.

The session info is logged in the console after the "Create a session" step but nothing logged when I run the "Initialize API framework" step. Thought it had something to do with the DDE base url being https://eu-gb.dynamic-dashboard-embedded.cloud.ibm.com instead of https://dde-us-south.analytics.ibm.com for my Congnos Dashboard Embedded service. However, after setting the DDE_BASE_URL environment variable I was still getting the same error.

I'm also seeing the same error message in the official demo https://ibm-cognos-dashboard-demo.ng.bluemix.net/
