How to restrict downgrade of resources

2013-05-16T07:54:46Z

Hi,
I have created resources for provisioning of VM such as RAM, CPU, Hard disk and Bandwidth. Also I have added these resources in Service Plans as Resource Rates by defining price and max, min units. I am supporting upgrade of all resources but downgrade should happen for RAM and CPU only, rest Hard disk and Bandwidth should not be downgraded once upgraded. I tried with the resource script logic but still I am able to select lower values after upgrade.

My resource script is returning the data like this:

$disk = getenv(“SETTINGS_disk”);

print(’’.$disk.’’);

$bandwidth = getenv(“SETTINGS_bandwidth”);

print(’’.$bandwidth.’’);

But this is not affecting the downgrade. Also where do I check this resource script is executed or not?

How to do mass provisioning of VMs in one single click

2013-05-16T07:50:02Z

Hi,

There is one requirement on which I need clarification, can I make 5 VMs request at same time as in once I have subscribed for a plan and I click on Activate button in Virtual Machine service created by application:

- I tried making the service as non-singular but it is giving me “Add New” option in virtual machine service tab, which means I need to give manual request 5 times that I don’t want.

- Is there is any way so that I request 5 VMs in one shot.

- How do I show all 5 VMs in Parallel’s Client Area having separate action links and service statuses for it.

Both setting and getting a resource value

2013-02-06T10:18:21Z

We are changing a package from a resource system of additional resources that set a number on a remote API, to an incremental number of resources.

There is a resource that say sets the number of seats on a plan to a certain number, previously we needed to use seperate resources for each number as they didn’t increment.

Now the API has been updated so we can increment the numbers, and get the current setting back from the API.

I would like our package to be able to use the new resource type for the incremental counters, read the number from the remote API, but also then be able to order increases on those resources and report the increases back to the remote API.

Is this possible?

Uniq and case sensitivity

2012-05-22T10:42:50Z

In one of our APS applications, we have two services that have an email address field. They are defined as type=“email”, class=“email-on-application-domain”, and both have the same uuid. PA ensures uniqueness, but only in a case-sensitive manner. Obviously, when it comes to email addresses, case is irrelevant.

Is there a way to define a case-insensitive unique constraint? If not, are there any plans to create such a constraint type? I would have to imagine there would be many cases (no pun intended) where such a constraint would be needed.

Downgrades possible?

Is it ever possible to downgrade a package to an earlier version?

Changing provisioning attributes between versions of a package, and available resources on the plan

2013-02-06T10:15:53Z

We have a package we originally developed in PHP, but for various reasons are converting it to a .net based package with upgrades to the package.

We’d like to smoothly upgrade the existing php package users to the .net package users, and I’d like to know if this has been done/tested and how to get the provisioning attribute to change between versions of the package.

There’s also another major change in the package resource handling, where previously there were hundreds of separate resources to handle upgrades that didn’t step up in a incremental fashion to moving to a three resources that increment in standard increments.

Is it ever possible to downgrade an application to a previous version?

Please upgrade Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware to 9.x LTS

2013-01-12T14:17:19Z

Hello,

We are very pleased that Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware is offered as part of APS. Tiki has frequent releases and it’s very helpful that site admins can enjoy easy installs and upgrades.

Tiki’s frequent releases permit to take advantage of new possibilities (jQuery, HTML5, etc.) and many site admins enjoy having access to the latest and greatest. Here is a recap of innovations in last 4 years:
* 2009-05: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki3 LTS
* 2009-11: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki4
* 2010-06: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki5
* 2010-11: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki6 LTS
* 2011-06: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki7
* 2011-11: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki8
* 2012-05: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki9 LTS
* 2012-12: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki10

However, as Tiki has been for many years the Free and Open Source software Web Application with the most built-in features, there is a huge part of our user base that does not want/need new features, but only bug fixes and security fixes. This is why we have been offering Long Term Support (LTS) versions for some time, and we have recently decided to extend this LTS period. Please see details here:
* http://info.tiki.org/Version+Lifecycle
* http://tiki.org/FOSS+Web+Application+with+the+most+built-in+features

So, ideally APS would offer all supported versions of Tiki. Alternatively, to focus on LTS versions. The current 9.x LTS is supported until November 2015.

We feel Tiki’s model and well-defined lifecycle offers many benefits for a hosting company. Please see: http://tiki.org/Hosting+company
FYI, Tiki has been downloaded over 1 million times! http://info.tiki.org/article192-Tiki-Passes-1-Million-Downloads

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Best regards,

SSO SAML/Security Tokens

2012-05-02T12:17:53Z

We are trying to see if it is possible to forward SSO SAML/Security tokens to APS which in turn can forward that to the back end services. Is this possible using APS? If so, how?
