Unable to run loadSampleData.sh script on hybrid systems

Edit online

An error is returned when running the loadSampleData.sh script on a hybrid environment on an SSL ObjectServer. On hybrid systems in general, the replaying of historic events to an SSL enabled ObjectServer is not supported . Attempts to do so result in a write: broken pipe error.

Problem

An error is returned when running the loadSampleData.sh script on a hybrid environment on an SSL ObjectServer.

Cause

The ea-events-tooling used to load sample data into a system does not support SSL.

Resolution

Run the example command that you find after running oc get noihybrid, to get a template called loadsampleData.yaml
Note: You need to have at least one port exposed on the object server that does not use SSL.

Make the following changes to load the sample data into the remote object server:

Remove the volumes block, where $RELEASE_NAME, is the name of your release:

      volumes:
      - name: ca
        secret:
          secretName: $RELEASE_NAME-omni-certificate-secret
          items:
          - key: ROOTCA
            path: rootca

Remove the following ca volume mount section from the container specifications at the installdemoeventsfortraining:
```
        volumeMounts:
        - name: ca
          mountPath: /ca
          readOnly: true
```

Remove the following parameters at the container installdemoeventsfortraining. $RELEASE_NAME corresponds to your release name.

        - name: NOIOMNIBUS_OS_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
              name: $RELEASE_NAME-omni-certificate-secret
              key: PASSWORD
              optional: false

        - name: NOIOMNIBUS_OS_TRUSTSTORE_PATH
          value: "/ca/omnibusTrustStore"
        - name: NOIOMNIBUS_OS_SSL_PROTOCOL
          value: "TLSv1.2"

Modify the object server port number from:

      - name: $RELEASE_NAME_OBJSERV_AGG_PRIMARY_SERVICE_PORT
          value: "secure port number"

To a non SSL port number, for example, 9100:

        - name: $RELEASE_NAME_OBJSERV_AGG_PRIMARY_SERVICE_PORT
          value: "9100"

You can find the non SSL port number by referring to the omni.dat file in your remote system. Note that if there is no none-ssl port number configured you cannot use these utilities.
