App Dev Cloud with Financial Services Generic Loan Demo

This demo is to install a financial services generic loan application in the Cloud based on leveraging the OpenShift Container Platform (OCP). It delivers a fully functioning Generic Loan example containerized on OCP.

This demo is a financial simulation for getting a long and features BPM with human task integration, rule integration and an example use of a signal.

Install FSI Generic Loan on OpenShift

1. (OPTIONAL) First ensure you have an OpenShift container based installation, such as one of the following installed first:

   • OCP Install Demo

   • Red Hat Container Development Kit (CDK) using Minishift

   • or your own OpenShift installation.

2. Download and unzip this demo.

3. Download JBoss EAP & JBoss BPM Suite, add to installs directory (see installs/README).

4. Run 'init.sh' or 'init.bat' file. 'init.bat' must be run with Administrative privileges:

   # The installation needs to be pointed to a running version
   # of OpenShift, so pass an IP address such as:
   #
   $ ./init.sh 192.168.99.100  # example for OCP.

Log in to JBoss BPM Suite to start exploring a generic loan application (the address will be generated by the init script):

• OCP example: http://rhcs-genericloan-demo-appdev-in-cloud.192.168.99.100.nip.io/business-central ( u:erics / p:bpmsuite1! )

Notes

Should your local network DNS not handle the resolution of the above address, giving you page not found errors, you can apply the following to your local hosts file:

$ sudo vi /etc/hosts

# add host for OCP demo resulution
192.168.99.100   rhcs-genericloan-demo-appdev-in-cloud.192.168.99.100.nip.io 

---

If for any reason the installation breaks or you want a new installation, just remove the project entry in the OpenShift console and re-run the installation.

---

The demo covers the following aspects:

• Business process definition
• Guided Rule definition
• Rules definition (DLR format)
• Forms definition (for both process, to collect the input parameters, and user task)
• Data models (using Date Modeler)
• Helper jar to pre-load with five process instances in various states.

The following values can be used (in process form) for testing:

• Applicant: Your Name
• Age: 21
• Income: 2000
• Amount: 10010 (auto rejected if value under 10k)
• Period (in months): 24

Any user tasks have automated task reassignment back into the group should a task not complete within a minute. Note that the entire demo is running default in memory, restart server, lose your process instances, data, monitoring history.

---

To clone a repository in the running container, the following actions would need to occur from a developer's machine.

1. Execute port forwarding through the OpenShift CLI. This will open a tunnel between the developer's machine and the pod through the OpenShift API pod proxy. The command window will block while the session is open:

   # Read-only access to repo on port 9418.
   #
   $ oc port-forward $(oc get pod -l=deploymentconfig=rhcs-genericloan-demo --template='{{ range .items }} {{ .metadata.name }} {{ end
   

}}') 9418:9418

Read-write access to repo on port 8001.

$ oc port-forward $(oc get pod -l=deploymentconfig=rhcs-genericloan-demo --template='{{ range .items }} {{ .metadata.name }} {{ end }}') 8001:8001

2. Clone the repository. In another window, clone the remote repository after logging in to Business Central, creating a repository
  and identifying the repository URL in the Admin Perspective (this example is a BackOffice repository):

Read-only access to repo on port 9418.

$ git clone git://localhost:9418/Loans

Read-write access to repo on port 8001.

$ git clone git://localhost:8001/Loans
