Logistics Wizard Toolchain

This toolchain deploys the Logistics Wizard sample application. Logistics Wizard is a supply chain management web application composed of several micro-services. Refer to the Logistics Wizard home page for more information.

The toolchain is preconfigured to provide:

Create the toolchain

  1. Ensure you have a GitHub account.
  2. Ensure you have an IBM Cloud account.
  3. Ensure you have 2GB of free memory and space for 4 additional services in your IBM Cloud organization.
  4. It is recommended to create a new space named logistics-wizard in your organization. This helps grouping the apps and services together in the console.

  5. To create the toolchain, click this button:

    Deploy To IBM Cloud

Configure the toolchain

After clicking the deployment button, the toolchain's configuration page is shown.

  1. Provide a name Toolchain name. This name is used as the prefix for the deployed applications. The name must be unique within your organization.
  2. Under Tool Integrations select the GitHub tab.
  3. Choose to either Clone or Fork the Logistics Wizard's GitHub repositories.
  4. Optionally change the GitHub Repository Names that will be created in your GitHub account.
  5. Select the Delivery Pipeline tab.
  6. Ensure the App Name for each microservice is unique.
  7. Select the Cloud Foundry Region, Organization and Space where you want to deploy the application.
  8. Paste your IBM Cloud Platform API key into the corresponding textbox. If you do not have an existing API key, create on using the ibmcloud iam api-key-create <name> command. Record the API key in a safe place; it will be shown only once after the command completes.
  9. The coveralls tokens remain empty. (These are used for IBM development.)
  10. Click the Create button.

Use the toolchain

Once the toolchain is created, several delivery pipelines corresponding to the microservices will also be created. Upon creation, the pipelines will automatically begin.

  1. Select each Delivery Pipeline to ensure no failures have occurred.
  2. Once all pipelines have successfully completed, visit the walkthrough for a tour of Logistics Wizard.

:warning: If any Deploy or Test stages fail because you are already using the Lite plan for Cloudant databases, edit the stage properties and change the environment variable CLOUDANT_SERVICE_PLAN from Lite to Standard.
