APS Discussion Forum Copyright (c) 2013 ExpressionEngine tag:apsstandard.org,2013:05:16 How to restrict downgrade of resources tag:apsstandard.org,2013:forums/viewthread/.26 2013-05-16T07:54:46Z RounakTiwari 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(’<resources ><resource id=“disk”><value>’.$disk.’</value></resource></resources>’);
         
$bandwidth = getenv(“SETTINGS_bandwidth”);

          print(’<resources ><resource id=“bandwidth”><value>’.$bandwidth.’</value></resource></resources>’);

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 tag:apsstandard.org,2013:forums/viewthread/.25 2013-05-16T07:50:02Z RounakTiwari 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 tag:apsstandard.org,2013:forums/viewthread/.24 2013-02-06T10:18:21Z Keif Gwinn 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 tag:apsstandard.org,2012:forums/viewthread/.3 2012-05-22T10:42:50Z Chris Stoddard 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.

]]> Changing provisioning attributes between versions of a package, and available resources on the plan tag:apsstandard.org,2013:forums/viewthread/.23 2013-02-06T10:15:53Z Keif Gwinn 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.

Question:  How does one go about getting the value selected by the user?
