Installation

Global installation may require additional privileges.

Usage

This guide assumes global installation. If you installed locally, replace e2ebridge with node path/to/app.js (or, on linux path/to/app.js).

To list services:

$ e2ebridge services [[-n|--nodejs]|[-j|--java]] [Bridge connection]

To view / set service preferences:

• If no pref * * arguments are given, the current service preferences are displayed

  $ e2ebridge preferences ${ServiceName} [[-n|--nodejs]|[-j|--java]] [pref ${PreferenceName} ${PreferenceValue}]... [Bridge connection]

To list available model notes for xUML service:

$ e2ebridge modelnotes ${ServiceName} [Bridge connection]

To view chosen model notes for xUML service:

$ e2ebridge modelnotes ${ServiceName} ${NotesFileName} [Bridge connection]

To view / set service settings:

• If no set * * arguments are given, the current service settings are displayed

  $ e2ebridge settings ${ServiceName} [-n|--nodejs] [set ${SettingName} ${SettingValue}]... [Bridge connection]

To start or remove a xUML, Node.js (-n) or Java (-j) service:

$ e2ebridge start|remove ${ServiceName} [[-n|--nodejs]|[-j|--java]] [Bridge connection]

To stop or kill a xUML, Node.js (-n) or Java (-j) service:

$ e2ebridge stop|kill ${ServiceName} [[-n|--nodejs]|[-j|--java]] [Bridge connection] [Stop options]

To upload a resource:

$ e2ebridge resources --upload ${FilePath} [Bridge connection]

To list user groups or get single group:

$ e2ebridge groups [${id}] [Bridge connection]

To remove user group:

$ e2ebridge groups ${id} (-d|--delete) [Bridge connection]

To create or modify user group:

$ e2ebridge groups ${id} [-m|--modify] [--name ${GroupName}] [--role ${AssignedRole}] [Bridge connection]

To list users or get single user:

$ e2ebridge users [${id}] [Bridge connection]

To remove user:

$ e2ebridge users ${id} (-d|--delete) [Bridge connection]

To create user:

$ e2ebridge users ${id} --name ${UserName} [--active [true|false]] --group ${GroupName} --user-password ${UserPassword} [Bridge connection]

To modify user:

$ e2ebridge users ${id} (-m|--modify) [--name ${UserName}] [--active [true|false]] [--group ${GroupName}] [--user-password ${UserPassword}] [Bridge connection]

To pack a Node.js service:

• A .e2eignore file can be used to ignore some files when packing.
• Path to directory is mandatory.
• If path to repository is omitted a "<package.name>-<package.version>.zip" file is created in the current working directory. If package information is missing an error will be thrown.
• During pack no file should be modified otherwise error "Didn't get expected byte count" can happen. To prevent packing the current package or older packages place them outside the source folder or put package names into .e2eignore.

  $ e2ebridge pack ${path/to/directory} [${path/to/repository}]

To deploy a service:

• If path to repository is a directory it will be packed and published. Only useful for Node.js services.
• If path to repository is omitted the current directory is used. Only useful for Node.js services.

  $ e2ebridge deploy [${path/to/repository}|${path/to/directory}] [Bridge connection] [-o [deployment option]]...

To deliver services to Bridge instances

$ e2ebridge deliver --domain ${DomainName} [--node ${NodeName}]... [--solution ${SolutionName}]... [--service ${ServiceName}]... [--break-on-error] [--dry-run]

See documentation of deliver command for more information and examples.

To get usage help:

$ e2ebridge --help

Bridge connection:

• -s|--scheme http[s]|--protocol http[s] The scheme/protocol to be used. Defaults to https.
• -h|--host <FQDN bridge host> The host, that runs the bridge. Defaults to localhost.
• -p|--port <bridge port> The port of the bridge. Defaults to 8080.
• -u|--user <bridge user> User that has the right to perform operation on bridge. Required. If not given, you'll be prompted for it.
• -P|--password <password for bridge user> Password for the user. Required. If not given, you'll prompted for it, what is recommended as giving your password in command line will expose it in your shell's history. Password is masked during prompt.

Deployment options:

• startup: Launch service after deployment.
• overwrite: Overwrite existing service if one already exists.
• overwritePrefs: Overwrite settings and preferences too.
• npmInstall: Run 'npm install --ignore-scripts' (applies to Node.js services only)
• runScripts: Run 'npm install' (applies to Node.js services only)
• instanceName=<instance name>: Choose a different instance name (applies to Node.js services only)
• stopTimeout=<seconds>: Allow at least that many seconds before assuming that stop command failed (available as of Bridge API 2.9.0)
• allowKill: If stopping the service before deployment fails, try to kill it (available as of Bridge API 2.9.0)

Stop options

• stopTimeout=<seconds>: Allow at least that many seconds before assuming that stop command failed (available as of Bridge API 2.9.0)

Other Switches:

• -n|--nodejs Assume that the service is a Node.js service. This is ignored for "deploy" and illegal for "kill".
• -N The same as -n. Kept for backwards compatibility only.
• -j|--java Assume that the service is a Java service.
• -g|--git Use "git archive" for building the repository. This is ignored for all commands but "pack".

Service Preferences:

Currently the Bridge supports the following preferences:

• All services:

  • automaticStartup : boolean
  • automaticRestart : boolean
  • owner : string [readonly]

• xUML services:

  • bridgeServerLogLevel : string [None, Fatal, Error, Warning, Info, Debug]
  • transactionLogLevel : string [None, Custom, Service, IOExternal, IOInternal]
  • transactionLogRotInterval : [HOURLY, DAILY]

• Node.js and Java services:

  • minimumUptimeInSeconds : integer
  • uiUrl: string
  • uiTabTitle : string

• Java services:

  • remoteDebugPort : integer

Migrating from version 1

• Support for nodes has been dropped. Therefore the -n parameter now signals a Node.js service. The -N continues to work though.

• The deployment options is no more a comma-separated list. To pass multiple options, use multiple -o parameters. Also the names of the options got changed. Changes are summarized in the below table:

  Old name	New name
  settings	overwritePrefs
  npm_install	npmInstall
  npm_install_run_scripts	runScripts
  instance_name	instanceName

• The --shrinkwrap option has been dropped. Npm 5 or newer should be used as it automatically creates package-lock.json which provides the same functionality. This file will always be packed if present.

Usage Examples

• List all Node-js services

  $ e2ebridge services --nodejs -u admin -P admin

  Output:

  ┌──────────────────┬────────┬─────────┐
  │     Service      │  Type  │ Status  │
  ├──────────────────┼────────┼─────────┤
  │ e2e-dashboard-ui │ NodeJs │ Stopped │
  │ helloworld       │ NodeJs │ Running │
  └──────────────────┴────────┴─────────┘

• Deploy PurchaseOrderExample to localhost

  $ e2ebridge deploy /tmp/PurchaseOrderExample.rep -u admin -P admin

• Deploy PurchaseOrderExample to some development server. Overwrite existing instance and startup service afterwards. Additionally do not expose your password in command line (you'll be prompted for it)

  $ e2ebridge deploy /tmp/PurchaseOrderExample.rep -u admin -h devserver.my.org -o startup -o overwrite

• Start PurchaseOrderExample on some development server.

  $ e2ebridge start PurchaseOrderExample -u admin -h devserver.my.org

• Start myNodeServie on some development server (a Node.js service).

  $ e2ebridge start myNodeService -u admin -h devserver.my.org -n

• Set automatic startup of PurchaseOrderExample on some development server.

  $ e2ebridge preferences PurchaseOrderExample pref automaticStartup true -u admin -h devserver.my.org

  Output:

  ┌───────────────────────────┬───────┐
  │         Property          │ Value │
  ├───────────────────────────┼───────┤
  │ bridgeServerLogLevel      │ Info  │
  │ transactionLogLevel       │ None  │
  │ transactionLogRotInterval │ DAILY │
  │ automaticStartup          │ true  │
  │ automaticRestart          │ false │
  │ owner                     │ admin │
  └───────────────────────────┴───────┘
  

• Set Setting "global_Settings::Folder Name to move mails in that are skipped" of PurchaseOrderExample on some development server.

  $ e2ebridge settings PurchaseOrderExample set "global_Settings::Folder Name to move mails in that are skipped" "SKIPPED" -u admin -h devserver.my.org

  Output: A tabular list of all settings. The changed setting is printed in bold.

• Set MyNodeService's settings from local file:

  $ e2ebridge settings MyNodeService --upload ~/settings/MyNodeService.json -n -u admin

  Output: JSON object representing the service's new settings.
