Server Cache Management

Warning

Administrator role is required.

REST server stores portfolio objects, configuration, and snapshots in a memory cache. This memory cache is loaded as soon as the REST Server is started.

An URL allows to reload all domains in memory cache. This action may be required when a new snapshot has been added, and can be performed from a command line with a tool such as "curl":

Use Curl for automation:

C:> curl -u admin:cast -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:8080/rest/server/reload

For each domain, Lucene index files can be created to allow components or violations search.

Lucene index files are created at start time and reload time if these options are enabled:

application.properties

# Rebuild Lucene components index on start if outdated (true or false)
rebuildComponentsSearchIndexesOnStart=true
# Rebuild Lucene violations index on start if outdated (true or false)
rebuildViolationsSearchIndexesOnStart=false

HTTP Action

Media Type

URI Templates

Description

GET

application/json

server/reload{?parameters}

Sync clients with new domains.

Reload the domains configuration and refresh the server memory cache,
Example of use: A new application onboarding requires to create a new ED domain in the domains.properties file.

The client may receive an HTTP Status 503 "Service not available" if a server/refresh call is already in progress.

In case of intensive traffic, the service awaits for the end of current processing request to start.

This web service has the following effects

Reload the configuration of domains (domains.properties file)
Reload the server memory cache
Rebuild Lucene Indexes
Respond a “503 Service unavailable“ to any client during the reload
Invalidate the browser cache

GET

application/json

server/refresh{?parameters}

Sync clients with new snapshots.

Refresh the server memory cache when a new snapshot has been added.
Example of Usage: A new snapshot has been taken for an ED domain.
Example of Usage: AAD domains needs to be refreshed when a new application or a new snapshot has been added.

This processing is made in the background with no interruption for HD clients, and reduced interruption for ED clients.

This web service has the following effects

Reload the server memory cache
Rebuild Lucene Indexes
Respond a "503 Service unavailable to ED clients requesting Lucene index data, whereas this Lucene index is under construction for this specific domain.
Invalidate the browser cache

Note: If two concurrent requests are sent for 2 different domains, then these domains will be refreshed in parallel.

Note: onboarding of a new applications must be performed with the "server/reload" or the "server/domains-bindings" web service that will update the domains.properties configuration file and will trigger a "server/reload" service for these domains.

GET

application/json

server/reset

Sync clients after a snapshot reconsolidation, a license key change, or a change of the license.xml file (authorizations in case of restricted license).

The web service reloads the license.key file, the license.xml file and invalidates the browser cache.

Parameters

URI Parameter	Description	Values	Default value
domain	Specify a single domain to reload (for example to refresh a domain after a snapshot)	a string	$all

DBMS Warm-up Service

Warning

Administrator role is required.

This service fetches data (results, components, violations) for domains hosted in central bases, in order to pre load data in memory afer a DBMS cold restart.

It avoids to penalize first user fetching data.

This service loops on each domain hosted by a central base, and trigger some queries on components, violations and assessment results.

Use Curl for automation:

C:> curl -u admin:cast  http://localhost:8080/rest/server/warmup

Lucene Index

For each domain, a Lucene index is created to allow the search for components.

Another Lucene index can be created to allow the search for violations.

Domains Bindings

A Domain binding associates a domain name with a data source name and a schema name.

This resource is based on the use of domains.properties file.

URI Templates

HTTP Action	Media Type	URI Templates	Description
GET	application/json	server/domains-bindings	Get all domains bindings Warning Administrator role is required.
PUT	application/json	server/domains-bindings	Update the domains bindings, or create new domains bindings. A triplet (domain, data source, central) is replaced for an existing domain or an existing central, otherwise it is added. This web service triggers the "reload" service for the domains listed in the payload, in order to update the server memory cache and Lucene index files. This Web service overwrites the domains.properties file. Warning This service accepts the "Authorization" HTTP header to transmit user's credentials, so that a prior call to the login "service" is not required. Thus, we can start the Web Server with an empty list of domains, and bypass the "login" service that prevents connection when no domain is defined. In case of exception when writing this file, an HTTP Status "403 Forbidden" is returned. Check the permissions of this file. Warning Administrator role is required. Example: Assuming there are two existing domains AED1, AED2, add a new domain: [ { "name": "AED3", "dataSource": "DEV_CSS2", "schema": "appli1_central" } ] Assuming there are three existing domains AED1, AED2, AED3, change schemas for domains AED1, AED2: [ { "name": "AED1", "dataSource": "DEV_CSS2", "schema": "appliA_central" }, { "name": "AED2", "dataSource": "DEV_CSS2", "schema": "appliB_central" } ]
DELETE	application/json	server/domains-bindings	Update the database binding for a list of domains, or create some new domains with their own bindings. This web service does not need to trigger the "reload". This Web service overwrites the domains.properties file. Warning This service accepts the "Authorization" HTTP header to transmit user's credentials, so that a prior call to the login "service" is not required. Thus, we can start the Web Server with an empty list of domains, and bypass the "login" service that prevents connection when no domain is defined. In case of exception when writing this file, an HTTP Status "403 Forbidden" is returned. Check the permissions of this file. Warning Administrator role is required. Example: Assuming there are two existing domains AED1, AED2, remove domain AED2 [ { "name": "AED2" } ]
