There are times where we want to display list of DC within one Namespace, and want to see what are the images involved within it. We can do that easily by using a simple OC command like below,
oc get dc -n <namespace> --no-headers -o template \
--template='{{range.items}}{{.metadata.namespace}}{{"/"}}{{.metadata.name}}{{" - "}}
{{(index .spec.template.spec.containers 0).image}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}'
Sometimes we got some pods stuck in our namespace and unable to be deleted within a specific timeframe so we need to delete them forcefully, but sometimes it becomes problematic when we have like hundreds of them. Well deleting all of them is actually quite easy, all i have to do is run below command.
oc delete pod -n youropenshiftprojectname --grace-period=0 --force --all
One feature on Red Hat Process Automation Manager (RHPAM) is the ability to provide an API endpoint which can be accessed from multiple applications. But when we call them directly from javascript within a browser, sometimes it would shows a CORS error.
Workaround is quite easy, either we add a CORS header on RHPAM API response or change call method from a browser call into server-to-server call. For this article i would go with the first approach, and that is adding a CORS header on API that RHPAM provides.
Luckily our RHPAM deployment is on top of Openshift, and by adding below key-value parameters to RHPAM kie-server’s Deployment Config is good enough to solve CORS issue.
- name: FILTERS
value: "AC_ALLOW_ORIGIN,AC_ALLOW_METHODS,AC_ALLOW_HEADERS,AC_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS,AC_MAX_AGE"
- name: AC_ALLOW_ORIGIN_FILTER_RESPONSE_HEADER_NAME
value: "Access-Control-Allow-Origin"
- name: AC_ALLOW_ORIGIN_FILTER_RESPONSE_HEADER_VALUE
value: "*"
- name: AC_ALLOW_METHODS_FILTER_RESPONSE_HEADER_NAME
value: "Access-Control-Allow-Methods"
- name: AC_ALLOW_METHODS_FILTER_RESPONSE_HEADER_VALUE
value: "POST,GET,OPTIONS,PUT"
- name: AC_ALLOW_HEADERS_FILTER_RESPONSE_HEADER_NAME
value: "Access-Control-Allow-Headers"
- name: AC_ALLOW_HEADERS_FILTER_RESPONSE_HEADER_VALUE
value: "*"
- name: AC_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS_FILTER_RESPONSE_HEADER_NAME
value: "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials"
- name: AC_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS_FILTER_RESPONSE_HEADER_VALUE
value: "true"
- name: AC_MAX_AGE_FILTER_RESPONSE_HEADER_NAME
value: "Access-Control-Max-Age"
- name: AC_MAX_AGE_FILTER_RESPONSE_HEADER_VALUE
value: "86400"
Just yesterday i got a very unique error,
Variable content was trimmed as it was too long (more than 255 characters)
I can see that this error happens due to RHPAM saves the content of each object on database, but have a 255 character as limitation. And for this case, my object content length is more than 255 characters.
Workaround for this is we need to alter database generated by RHPAM and for example below, im changing it from 255 into 5000 characters.
alter table VariableInstanceLog modify column value varchar(5000); alter table VariableInstanceLog modify column oldValue varchar(5000);
And need to put below parameter runtime,
-Dorg.jbpm.var.log.length=5000
For a RHPAM deployment on Openshift, we can embed below parameters on RHPAM DeploymentConfig,
- name: JAVA_OPTS_APPEND value: '-Dorg.jbpm.var.log.length=5000'
Restart RHPAM, and we can see now RHPAM can handle object with length up to 5000 characters.
There are times where i need to clean all unused, dangling docker images on my laptop. Previously im running below command,
docker image prune -a
But it seems like altho almost all images are gone, i can see still some images are still occupying my laptop’s disk. So i have to do something to delete them.
The workaround is quite easy, run PowerShell as Administrator and run below command,
docker rmi $(docker images --quiet --filter "dangling=true") -f
Executing that command will generates this log,
And i can see that my harddisk is now have more free spaces 🙂
