Controlling Containerized xUML Services (Docker)

You can run xUML services in a Docker container instead of running it in the integration component (Bridge). The administration offers a deployment wizard for this (refer to Working With the Deployment Wizard for details) and you can also deploy Designer services directly as container. xUML services that run in a Docker container have extended container details to manage this type of service.

Using the Container Details

You can open a details page for each container. To do so, click on the service name in the list:

Click on a name in the service list to open its details page. The details page shows you the title of the service and some quick actions:

Icon	Description
	Indicates the current state of the service.
	Starts the service.
	Stops the service.
	Restarts the service.

It also contains different collapsable sections:

• Information

• Details

• Documentation

• Logs

• History Log

• Persistent State

• Configuration

Information

The Information section contains the main information about the container:

• Name

• Source is Docker for Docker containers

• Type

• Created/Updated

• Version

Details

On top of the Details section, you can find the option Delete Service (refer to Deleting a Service below for further information). The boxes General, Build and Deployment contain read-only information:

The General details contain common information about the compiled .rep file:

The Build details contain information about the Docker image:

The Deployment details contain information about the deployment:

Below the three sections that contain read-only information, you can find the two tabs Endpoints and Libraries (see below for details):

Endpoints

In tab Endpoints you can find the necessary information regarding the API endpoints of this service:

Column	Description	Possible Values
Name	Name of the registered endpoint.	Any string.
Type	Type of the registered endpoint.	control rest shadow soap ui
URL	Click the URL to copy the secured endpoint to the clipboard. Click the arrow to display the URL of the internal endpoint. Click the URL to copy it to the clipboard.	Any URL.
Test	Use option Open to switch to the interface that allows you to test the application/API. The test interface is available on running services only. The PAS platform features an xUML Runtime API for each service. You can use the interface to obtain information on the states of the service's state machines in general, and to trigger state transitions. Refer to xUML Runtime API Reference for a comprehensive list of all available requests.	-
Interface/Descriptor	Use option Download to download the description (OpenAPI/WSDL) of the service interface. Use option Copy to clipboard to copy the private descriptor URL.	-
API	Use option Import to import the API to Scheer PAS API Management. A wizard will support you in creating the API in API Management. Refer to Creating an API in the API Management Guide for details.	-

Use the filter field to search for a specific endpoint. The content of the filter field is applied to the columns Name and Type:

Click Extended filter to display the extended filter options:

• Type

• Reset Filter

If a filter is applied, the extended filter image changes:

Use option Reset Filter in the main filter window to reset all selected filters. In the filter option window, you can also reset the selection:

Libraries

In tab Libraries you can find a list of all libraries that are used in this service:

Use the filter field to search for a specific library. The content of the filter field is applied to the column Name only:

Deleting a Service

If you want to delete a containerized xUML service, click Delete Service on top of the Details section:

Please note, that the deletion of a service has several consequences:

• The service container (deployment) will be removed from the current system.

• The registered routes are purged.

• Persisted data stored in this service will be removed.

Option Delete is only enabled if you insert the correct service name:

Documentation

Open the Documentation section to display the documentation of the xUML service:

Use the list Select Document to choose the documentation you want to see. The list contains:

• The documentation of the xUML service itself (if it is a service that has been created in the Designer, you will see the content of field Description from the service details page).

• The documentation of the libraries that are used in the service.

Logs

In section Logs you can change the log level. Refer to Changing the Log Level of a Containerized xUML Service for detailed information. The link in section Logs gives you direct access to the Log Analyzer, where you can inspect the logs. Refer to Showing Logs of a Containerized xUML Service (Docker) and Analyzing Platform Logs for further information.

History Log

In the History Log section you can inspect the service history. Refer to Showing Logs of a Containerized xUML Service (Docker) for detailed information.

Persistent State

In section Persistent State you can manage persistent state objects. Refer to Persistent States of Containerized xUML Services for detailed information.

Configuration

In the Configuration section you can change the configuration file of the Docker container. Refer to Adapting the Configuration of Containerized xUML Services for detailed information.
