Hi,
I'm looking to move over to an automated deployment method for our openidm
configuration and associated scripts, ui elements etc. The aim is to have
deployment to our cluster be triggered automatically by our Jenkins server
after changes are pushed to git.
It seems that openidm's configuration essentially consists of two types of
object: "configuration objects" that are stored in the shared database
repository; and "file-based objects" (such as the contents of the tools,
script and ui directories). Whilst configuration objects are automatically
shared across all servers in a cluster, the file-based objects are not and
need to be manually updated on each server.
I intend to use the openidm cli's configimport sub-command to upload
configuration changes to the repository. To ensure the file-based objects
are in sync across the cluster, I will store these on a shared network
drive that is mounted on each server. I will write a script that checks out
the latest version of our config from our vcs, calls configimport for the
configuration objects and, if that is successful, updates the file-based
objects on the shared drive.
I'm not sure what action I need to take to make openidm notice changes to
the file-based objects once these are updated. My intention is to disable
automatic configuration updates on each server (as per
https://backstage.forgerock.com/#!/docs/openidm/4/integrators-guide/chap-configuration#disabling-auto-config-updates).
However, the docs state, "Note if automatic polling is enabled, changes to
scripts that are called from a JSON configuration file are taken into
account immediately." What needs to be done to have changes taken into
account when automatic polling is disabled?
I'd appreciate any general comments about this approach.
Thanks,
Max Spicer
