Overview

This Data Service Broker (DSB) provides a way to connect to, take copies and create new instances of a p-mysql data service running on Pivotal Cloud Foundry.

Pre-requisites

Most of the pre-reqs are around configuring your dev machine.

• CF cli installed.
• PCFDEV installed and running if planning to run tests locally.

How to build

• cd to your workspace.
• Clone the repository.
• Checkout a local branch if desired.
• If using local tools run mvn clean install to build the microservice.

How to run

• After the build completes, a file mysql-dsb-deployer-[version].jar is generated under mysqldsb/deployer/target. This file needs to be pushed to PCF

• Before pushing the deployer jar, the manifest file (manifest.yml) in the topmost folder needs to be modified based on the platform where the file is going to be pushed to.

• The manifest file looks like the following,

     applications:
     - name: pmysql_dsb --> The name of the DSB
       env:
       "CF_ORG": "pcfdev-org" --> The Org where the DSB should be pushed
       "CF_SPACE": "pcfdev-space" --> The space where the DSB should be pushed
       "CF_TARGET": "api.local.pcfdev.io" --> The API endpoint of the PCF where the DSB is pushed
       "CF_ADMIN_USERNAME": "user" --> username of user with access to spaces where the data services need to be instantiated
       "CF_ADMIN_PASSWORD": "pass" --> password of user with access to spaces where the data services need to be instantiated
     

The default manifest is populated with PCFDEV credentials.
