Predix DAC Bootstrap - Utility Script

Are you interested in using Decisyon App Composer (DAC) for Predix and looking for a one-step configuration approach? Run this script to setup all you need to start using DAC.

The script creates instances on Predix for the following services: UAA, Timeseries, Asset and DAC and it configures them to provide a ready-to-use environment for DAC on Predix (necessary authorities, scopes, create a UAA user, create UAA client_id, UAA groups etc.)

For sure, it is a quick and dirty script but it should work. I know, it is not perfect. My intention was not to create a perfect piece but a usable one.

What is DAC?

The Decisyon App Composer (DAC) was created to rapidly construct prototypes and production applications that leverage Predix and other native microservices to inject real-time intelligence into business operations.

Build app pages in minutes using DAC's intuitive visual editor, eliminating long, laborious, and error-prone software development, test, and release cycles.

DAC Prerequisites

Make sure to install the required prerequisites to use DAC Design Time VM:

Java Virtual Machine
Oracle VirtualBox
Vagrant
Decisyon App Composer Starter Kit to guide you through the design and deployment of your App Composer application to the Predix cloud.

Prerequisites

Make sure to have the required prerequisites in place:

A working internet connection :-)
An account on Predix.io
Git
Cloud Foundry CLI
Ammonite that lets you use the Scala language for scripting purposes.

How to use it?

This script has been developed and tested against Scala 2.12.1 Java 1.8.0_73 on Linux (Ubuntu) and Mac OSX 10.x.

Below the steps for Linux and Mac users:

Configure networks and proxies
Execute the following steps to clone the repos and run the script

$ git clone https://github.com/indaco/predix-dacdemo-setup
$ cd predix-dacdemo-setup
$ amm main.sc

Windows users can use the DAC VM to execute the script. Below the steps:

Use the Decisyon App Composer Starter Kit to download and run the DAC Design Time VM
Configure networks and proxies
Open a terminal window on the VM
Execute the following steps to clone the repos and run the script

$ git clone https://github.com/indaco/predix-dacdemo-setup
$ cd predix-dacdemo-setup
$ amm main.sc

Notes

src/variables.sc file contains the default settings for the script (e.g. predix service plan, service names, instance names, client_id, user details etc.). Adapt them to your preferences.

Results

The scripts generates a JSON file with details about the services created. It can be used for further reference. It is exactly the output for cf env appName command.

And Now?

Refer to the Use the Decisyon App Composer Starter Kit for a complete tutorial on how to compose and deploy an application developed with DAC on Predix.

Closed Issues

Pushing the sample_app to Predix could freeze the script at "starting app"
