The sample folder contains Docker files that build a sample image containing sample applications and Integration Server configuration. This requires you to mount the sample initial-config folder as well.

First build the ACE & MQ image.

In the sample folder:

docker build -t acemqapp --file Dockerfile.acemq .

First build the ACE only image.

In the sample folder:

docker build -t aceapp --file Dockerfile.aceonly .

To run a container based on the ACE & MQ image and these settings:

• queue manager name QMGR
• listener for MQ on port 1414
• ACE server name ACESERVER
• listener for ACE web ui on port 7600
• listener for ACE HTTP on port 7600
• ACE truststore password truststorepwd
• ACE keystore password keystorepwd

And mounting sample/initial-config with the sample configuration into /home/aceuser/initial-config.

Note: Always mount any initial config to be processed on start up to /home/aceuser/initial-config.

docker run --name acemqapp -p 7600:7600 -p 7800:7800 -p 7843:7843 -p 1414:1414 --env LICENSE=accept --env MQ_QMGR_NAME=QMGR --env ACE_SERVER_NAME=ACESERVER --mount type=bind,src=/{path to repo}/sample/initial-config,dst=/home/aceuser/initial-config --env ACE_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD=truststorepwd --env ACE_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=keystorepwd acemqapp:latest

To run a container based on the ACE only image and these settings:

• ACE server name ACESERVER
• listener for ACE web ui on port 7600
• listener for ACE HTTP on port 7600
• ACE truststore password truststorepwd
• ACE keystore password keystorepwd

And mounting sample/initial-config with the sample configuration into /home/aceuser/initial-config.

Note: Always mount any initial config to be processed on start up to /home/aceuser/initial-config.

docker run --name aceapp -p 7600:7600 -p 7800:7800 -p 7843:7843 --env LICENSE=accept --env ACE_SERVER_NAME=ACESERVER --mount type=bind,src=/{path to repo}/sample/initial-config,dst=/home/aceuser/initial-config --env ACE_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD=truststorepwd --env ACE_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=keystorepwd aceapp:latest

• bars_aceonly contains BAR files for sample applications that don't need MQ. These will be copied into the image (at build time) to /home/aceuser/bars and compiled. The Integration Server will pick up and deploy this files on start up. These set of BAR files will be copied when building an image with ACE only or ACE & MQ.
• bars_mq contains BAR files for sample applications that need MQ. These will be copied into the image (at build time) to /home/aceuser/bars and compiled. The Integration Server will pick up and deploy this files on start up. These set of BAR files will be copied when building an image ACE & MQ.
• dashboards contains json defined sample grafana and kibana dashboards. This image has a prometheus exporter, which makes information available to prometheus for statistics data. The grafana dashboard gives a sample visualization of this data. The kibana dashboard is based on the json output from an Integration Server (v11.0.0.2). LOG_FORMAT env variable has to be set to json.
• initial-config is a directory that can be mounted by the container. This contains sample configuration files that the container will process on start up.
• mqsc contains a .mqsc file that sets up queues used by the applications. This is copied into the image (at build time) to /etc/mqm so that the queue manager processes it on start up.
• PIs contain Project Interchange files with the source for the applications that will be loaded from bars_aceonly and bars_mq.
• Dockerfile.aceonly the Dockerfile that builds "FROM" the ace-only image and builds an application image.
• Dockerfile.acemq the Dockerfile that builds "FROM" the ace-mq image and builds an application image.

All of the applications either just echo back a timestamp, or call another flow that echoes a timestamp:

• HTTPSEcho - Presents an echo service over a HTTPS endpoint on port 7843. This uses self-signed certificates (from initial-config/keystore). You can call this by going to https://localhost:7843/Echo (though you will get an exception about the certificate), or running curl -k https://localhost:7843/Echo. This demonstrates how to deploy a flow that presents a HTTPS endpoint, and how to apply a policy and custom server.conf.yaml overrides.

• CallHTTPSEcho - Wraps a call to HTTPSEcho and presents a service over HTTP that is convenient to call. This uses out self-signed CA certificate (from initial-config/truststore) to ensure the call to the HTTPS server is trusted. You can call this by going to http://localhost:7800/CallHTTPSEcho, or running curl http://localhost:7800/CallHTTPSEcho. This demonstrates how to deploy flow that calls a HTTPS endpoint with specific trust certificates.

• MQEcho - Presents an echo service over MQ, using the input queue ECHOIN and output queue ECHOOUT. You can't call this flow directly as another flow is reading from it's output queue.

• CallMQEcho - Wraps a call to MQEcho and presents a service over HTTP that is convenient to call. You can call this by going to http://localhost:7800/CallMQEcho, or running curl http://localhost:7800/CallMQEcho. This demonstrates how to use MQ for your own flows internally.

• MQMultiEcho - Is a duplicate of MQEcho (so another flow can call it exclusively), but using the input queue MULTIECHOIN and output queue MULTIECHOOUT. This is effectively mocking an MQ application for CallMQMultiEcho. You can't call this flow directly as another flow is reading from it's output queue.

• CallMQMultiEcho - Presents an MQ endpoint that calls MQMultiEcho multiple times and aggregates the responses into a single message, using the input queue MULTIIN and output queue MULTIOUT. Note that this mocks delays in the MQ application so you may have to wait for the response. This demonstrates how to use message nodes that store state, and how to access the queues that drive those flows.

  Call this from inside the container:

  • Put a message using echo "x" | /opt/mqm/samp/bin/amqsput MULTIIN QMGR.
  • Get the response using /opt/mqm/samp/bin/amqsget MULTIOUT QMGR.

  Call this from outside the container:

  • Put a message using MQSAMP_USER_ID=aceuser MQSERVER=ACE.SVRCONN/TCP/localhost(1414) /opt/mqm/samp/bin/amqsputc MULTIIN, enter the password passw0rd, then enter anything for the message text and hit CTRL+D.
  • Get the response using MQSAMP_USER_ID=aceuser MQSERVER=ACE.SVRCONN/TCP/localhost(1414) /opt/mqm/samp/bin/amqsgetc MULTIOUT QMGR, and enter the password passw0rd.
