Using DataPower Gateway as the gateway service

1. Starting all services

$ docker-compose up -d

The command will take a while to start all services.

Confirm that the IBM API Connect services are running by entering the following command,

$ docker-compose ps

You should see a response similar to the following.

   Name                   Command               State               Ports
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
apim            /tini -- /startup.sh             Up
datapower       /start.sh                        Up       443/tcp
esmaster        /docker-entrypoint.sh /bin ...   Up       9200/tcp, 9300/tcp
ibmlogstash     /bin/sh -c /startup.sh           Up
ibmportal       /root/tini -- /root/start_ ...   Up
make-ssh-keys   /bin/sh -c /genkey.sh            Exit 0
microservice    /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/app.sh ...   Up       8080/tcp
nginx           /bin/sh -c /run.sh               Up       0.0.0.0:443->443/tcp, 80/tcp

Service make-ssh-keys has completed and exited.

To enable access to all the services, edit your local /etc/hosts file to map the IP address of your Docker host to the IBM API Connect host names,

<docker-host-ip> apim datapower gwadmin ibmportal microservice

For example, you can access the Web UI of DataPower Gateway by entering https://gwadmin/ in a browser.

Known issues

  1. DataPower may lose connection to analytics-lb after docker container restarts

In some cases, when DataPower container or Docker engine restarts, DataPower may lose connection to analytics-lb. If you see the following error from DataPower log,

datapower | 20161202T183348.225Z [APIMgmt_848CDBBB62][0x80e00126][mpgw][error] mpgw(webapi-internal): tid(2097) gtid(2097): Valid backside connection could not be established: Failed to establish a backside connection, url: https://analytics-lb/x2020/v1/events/logevent

Open https://apim/cmc/#/cloud/servers, check the status of datapower server in the DataPower Services pane. If server idg is marked INACTIVE, wait 5 minutes, if it is still INACTIVE, click the Server Actions icon Server Actions and select Delete Server. Then add the idg server back following the instructions in step 2.
