Packs

General Notes:
  • IBM Sterling Transformation Extender for Red Hat OpenShift must be installed and configured as above, with appropriate permissions provided to any users that will be deploying and executing maps from a Pack.
  • The Selected Pack (Healthcare, Supply Chain, Financial Payments, SAP), Version, for IBM Sterling Transformation Extender for Red Hat OpenShift must be installed on a Windows machine with the existing Transformation Extender Design Studio installed.
  • As the container is UNIX based, any files transferred as input to a pack map that has Windows-based, line endings (for example, CR/LF) should be converted to UNIX base line endings (LF) before, or during file transfer. Similarly, any paths within maps that are part of the Pack, or that you implement with components of a path, need to use the UNIX expected slash (/) instead of backslash (\) in paths to data files in input or output cards.
  • All executable maps must be built for the Linux platform. Maps called directly should keep the .lnx extension used by ITX Design Studio map compile. Maps called from the RUN mapping function need to be named as indicated in the map rule where they are called (see the individual pack tips for details).
Docker Tips:
  • To restart the container:
    docker restart itx-rs
  • Out of space conditions can show unusual errors (for example, java errors and dumps). Try cleaning up the system using the following commands:
    • To clean up unused local volumes, run the command: docker volume prune
    • To clean up unused images, run the command: docker image prune
    • To clean up stopped containers, run the command: docker container prune
    • To clean up all unused containers, networks, images (both dangling and unused), and optionally images, run the command: docker system prune
