Re: API and Channel Concepts

[Markus Geiss]

Hey all,

hope this finds you well. (;

In addition to creating separate APIs I'd like to bring up another topic
too.

Based on some security concerns, I question if you really want to allow
"unknown" 3rd parties to access the back office at all (even indirect).

I could see two different types of access:

   1. Applications built by the bank to create a better customer
   experience, this is a good candidate for "just" an API Gateway.
   2. Applications built by 3rd parties on top of banks offering, this
   would be a candidate for a separate and specialized data model

I do believe under category 2 you can put PSD2, Open Banking UK, and even
Mojaloop. These Services should not access the back office application at
all, but have a dedicated data store with a dedicated data model be
provided and served using an API gateway. With the built in event mechanism
of Fineract CN, it would be rather simple to create a service that ETLs the
data, even in near real-time into a dedicated data store and model.

Happy to discuss this further.

Cheers

Markus

Re: ORM Migration from Hibernate to OpenJPA

[Markus Geiss]

Hey Graham,

I can't jump in with the enhancement issue, but maybe it is worth to send a
message to the OpenJPA list.

In my opinion there is no need to replace the Hibernate validator because
it uses a different license then Hibernate ORM. It is dual licensed under
Apache v2.

Re: Fineract CN - Migration for Cassandra

[Markus Geiss]

Hey,

Apache Fineract CN provides a mechanism to also migrate data in a similar
way like Flyway.

Within the core component for Cassandra we have build some mechansim to
easily do this.

In the migration handler of accounting you can see how it is used to
migrate the journal entry data model.

Cheers

Markus

Re: DISCUSS: Architecture/Design for Enabling External Apps to securely access data on Apache Fineract CN

[Markus Geiss]

I'm not sure if offline first would higher complexity.

It will have a few benefits, e.g. the used data model on the client can't
be based on the wanted view model, the application will always be available
to the end user, an app developer can focus on the UI/UX, and a backend
developer can make the magic happen on the service side.

I do believe that trying to model an online app calling any type of backend
service directly is way more complex, you need to care about all the
special cases where connectivity is not given, either when starting the
app, or in between while you are working.

The nice things about PouchDB/CouchDB and the Sync gateway is, that this is
handled by those tools.

Just my two cents, if I need to create any type of mobile application I
would always design it to be offline first.

Cheers

Markus

Re: Moving Towards Apache Compliance for Fineract CN: Hibernate to OpenJPA Migration.

Hey Isaac,

the maridb core component is using Hibernate as the JPA provider, that's it.

Given Hibernate ORM is not compliant this needs to be adjusted.

Re: [ DISCUSS ] Apache Fineract CN Tentative Community Roadmap

[Markus Geiss]

+1 ... I like the idea to start with a reduced set of services ... another
way to look at it is ... all services are somewhat independent ... if we
release the first set and bring all core libs to compliance ... we can
decided piece by piece what to release and when.

Re: [Discussion] Fineract CN SMS & Email Notifications Project

[Markus Geiss]

Hey Ebenezer,

hope this finds you well. (;

looking at the two stack traces you've provided here is my take on it.

The error while storing configuration is caused by a field in the database
'sender_number' being declared as not null, but no data is provided. In the
create method of SMSConfiguration you are not handling the sender number at
all. I would recommend to either use a builder pattern or just use plain
getter/setter to create the instance.

With regards to receiving multiple (3) events, this is caused by the way
acitvemq is configured in your service. The default
for activemq.concurrency is 3-10, if you set this to 1-1 it will only
listen with 1 concurrent thread.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Markus

Re: Suggestions and Feedback on Payment Gateway Architecture Service

[Markus Geiss]

Hey Sanyam,

just had a glance on the repo.

I'd recommend not to use Hibernate directly in the code. Given you are
already
utilizing spring-data-jpa it would make the code easier to be used by using
JpaRepository from Spring and the specification feature to create queries
in code.

Cheers

Markus

Re: [Web App - Proposal]: Add a forgot password feature

[Markus Geiss]

I'm not sure about this feature. Given this is a back-office not a consumer
facing
application used at enterprises the admin usually is in charge of reseting
passwords.

Re: Help with Design, Approach and specifications for group lending/savings on Fineract CN.

[Markus Geiss]

Hello Ruphine,

you should keep in mind that the group service is supposed to only manage
groups and there related tasks, e.g. branch assignment, meetings, and
members. Members will be a collection of existing customers from customer.
Group service is really just for administrative purposes.

Loan and savings product should be build specifically for that use case. We
should not try to mingle/enhance existing individual products to be able to
handle groups.

For this you should ask for one specific use case, given that there a bunch
different ways to deal with group related product.

Cheers

Markus

Re: [Mifos-users] [Mifos-developer] Which reports would you like to generate from Android Field Officer App?

[Markus Geiss]

Hey all,

I second Jubha's opinion. If we build an app for a loan officer, the
functionality should be gathered around these requirements not adding
additional features just because another user group may use the app and
would like to see something else.

If the senior management is looking for special purpose reports we should
consider build an app or portal for this case.

Keep the app focused and simple for the audience it is built for.

Cheers

Markus

Re: Error communication to Eureka

[Markus Geiss]

Hey Courage,

can you set eureka.registration.enabled to false because identity is just a
client not a eureka server. Setting this to true will lead to identity
trying to register itself as a eureka server which will fail.

Cheers

Markus

Re: Error communication to Eureka

[Markus Geiss]

and can you add a / at the end of the eureka endpoint in the service
configuration for the client ... we and all samples use the / at the end of
the configured URL

http://172.16.238.2:8761/eureka/

Re: Error communication to Eureka

[Markus Geiss]

Can you try to access the configured URL of eureka with a browser to see if
it is up, running and reachable ...

this link should work

Re: Error communication to Eureka

[Markus Geiss]

Hey Courage,

can you share the settings in the application.yml file that points to
eureka.

Seems like there is a mismatch in the configuration, but to be sure it
woulde be good to see the see the config.

In addition I'm not 100% sure if TestEnvironment used by the demo server is
overriding this.

Cheers

Markus

Re: Status of Demo Server on Apache VM Infrastructure

One thing we maybe can do, given we are part of the Apache Family, is to
ask the Cassandra community for some suggestions.

Re: Extending component-test's test in the service module

[Markus Geiss]

Hey Isaac,

service is only allowed to import the API module.

Introducing such dependency as you mentioned would introduce a circular
dependency, and component-test is a separate module just consuming API and
service.

Cheers

Re: Fineract CN SMS & Email Notifications Idea

[Markus Geiss]

Hey Ebenezer,

hope this finds you well. (;

Every rest call that leads to a change in the database already creates an
event send via ActiveMQ.
This is all handle within CommandBus and we do use it to react on changes
within other services.

So all you would need to do is, creating a new microservice which will
listen to those events,
and implement the message handling and creation within this service.

For this you can simply use the JmsListener annotation provided by Spring.

I do not recommend to create your own DAOs because the system is internally
handling
the multi-tenancy issue. You should use provided API classes to access
foreign
microservices. A microservice will only read it's own data directly from
the DB,
reading data from another microservice directly will break the whole idea
of
separation of concerns.

Cheers

Markus

Hey Arthur,

feel free to send PRs for your adjustments, just make sure you have send in

Re: GSoC 2018: Fineract CN SMS & Email Notifications

[Markus Geiss]

Hey all,

if you run the demo-server locally it will start Eureka, ActiveMQ, MariaDB,
and Apache Cassandra
embedded, so no need to install it.

The whole setup is very resource hungry, given we run all datastores and
all micrsoervices at once.
You'd need at least 8GB RAM and a good CPU. If this is not the case on your
machine, you can try
to adjust the timeout used for the EventRecorder to fit the slower startup
behavior.You can find
the configuration at ServiceRunner.java in the demo-server

@EnableEventRecording(maxWait = 120_000) // (120 is the default)

Cheers

Re: Getting started on Fineract CN

[Markus Geiss]

Hey Phil,

given all repos got pushed as is, I guess one of the first tasks is to
rename
all packages and projects to fit into the Apache layout.

If you just want to get started now, you need to call

  ./gradelw publishToMavenLocal (assuming a *nix OS)

for every project. You should be able to adjust and run the
initial setup script found at the demo-server.

Cheers

Markus

Re: Current Development Status of Apache Fineract CN

[Markus Geiss]

Hey all,

I've learned that my last statement was a bit misleading, and community
members seemed to be blocked by this.

I do apologize, because it never was my intention to fend or block anybody
from contributing.

As of yesterday, all pending code was send as a PR to Fineract CN
repositories at the Apache Gitbox.

Cheers

Re: Current Development Status of Apache Fineract CN

[Markus Geiss]

we are currently retrofitted most of the product api's based on the first
feedback
we got in the field.

So yes, once we are done with this ... there will come some changes that
also
have impact on the API, given we never released a version to production.

Re: Need help setting up Dev Environment for Fineract CN

[Markus Geiss]

Hey all,

given that we are currently working on one last big thing,
I'd suggest to wait until these changes have passed our
internal QA.

If we proceed now, it will be very likely that a recreation of
then existing data stores is needed. The upcoming changes
are not backwards compatible. Given we never had a major
release, this is feasible.

Cheers

Markus

Re: [DISCUSS] Fineract CN issue tracking

[Markus Geiss]

Yes, it is also a no.

I do believe that we should use this from a user's point of view.
We can use other mechanisms, e.g. sub tasks, to define where changes need to
take place.

Hey Karthik,

just a FYI:

Apache Fineract is the official open source project governed by the Apache

Mifos X is a vendor specific distribution forked from Apache Fineract, and
is not supported by the Apache community.

Re: Fineract - MySQL to Oracle.

[Markus Geiss]

Hey Karthik,

as mentioned earlier in our conversation ... for now Apache Fineract 1.x
is using native SQL within the code so you'd need to replace all of this.

In addition all migrations scripts written in native SQL for MySQL utilizing
flyway to process them.

With the next generation, Apache Fineract CN, you would only need to
add new migration scripts for Oracle and change the underlying DB reference.

Cheers

Markus

Re: running Mifos I/O micro service

[Markus Geiss]

Hey Ramesh,

as mentioned during our call, you need to have MySQL, Cassandra, and Active
MQ setup before starting the services one by one.

Instead of running a config server you can also adjust the apllication.yaml
file in every service project pointing to the data stores. If you want to
setup a config server the Spring Config Server would be the easiest, but
for thia you need locally install git on that machine too and create a
structure that reflects the services with a applocation.yaml for each
service.

If you dont't want to setup a eureka server it would be possibel the edit
the ApiFactory calls and provide an URL in addition to the servicd name.

Hope this helps.
Cheers

Markus

Re: building a new service in Fineract-CN

[Markus Geiss]

(Sorry for the messed up format, sending it again:)

Hey,

mingeling two projects into one issue tracking system seems wrong to me.

If you look at projects like Jackrabbit also maintaining 2 projects they us
separate issue trackers too.

Given the code base is completely different and new I would not like to see
tickets popping up in the same system.

Cheers

Markus

ha ha ...sorry ... thought you were talking about the new stuff we are

Re: Unable to start activemq process on Ubuntu Server 14.04.5

[Markus Geiss]

ok ... sounds like you are not using a centralized configuration than ...
so if you start the services with java -jar simply  add the following
before -jar

-Dactivemq.brokerUrl=tcp://:61616

You need to add this to all services ...

Cheers

Markus

Re: Unable to start activemq process on Ubuntu Server 14.04.5

[Markus Geiss]

Hey Kumaranath,

can you share your application.yml so we can check the connection
parameters for ActiveMQ ...

By default it will try to connect to vm://localhost?broker.persistent=false
an embedded version.

Cheers

Re: fineract-CN running Tests?

[Markus Geiss]

so, we already offer the component-test with template project ...

In addition to the component-tests which only test that module and all
called services are mocked ... we also have integration tests (kudos to
Myrle) that will spin up multiple services and do a full test from end to
end ... we still need to enhance them and offer more integration tests, but
at least we have start.

Currently we are proposing to bring CN to Fineract, so right now there is
now attached Apache JIRA for it, but once it has passed the community all
tasks/issues will be tickets in JIRA.

Re: [DISCUSS] Begin the process for bringing in Mifos I/O as Apache Fineract CN

[Markus Geiss]

Hey all,

I believe that engaging business people into the discussion is a good thing.

Saying this, Kuelap decided to offer a demo site where you can look at the
application.

We will wipe all existing data with every new update, to keep the demo
small and clean.

Here you'll find it:

https://training.kuelap.io:8443/index.html

Tenant: playground
Username: demo
Password ven3t1@n

Cheers

Markus

Re: Seeking Mentors for Google Code-In 2017

[Markus Geiss]

Hey all,

I will not be able to Mentor this time.

But we should make sure that all people who want to mentor should at least
have signed a Apache iCLA, being an active committer for the project so we
prevent conditions like with GSoC. Right now we have a load of
contributions that can only be pulled by current committers and this leads
to doubling the effort of reviewing the already reviewed work.

Cheers

Markus

sadly my internet is not working ... looks like a line is broken ... and I
can't tell how long this will take.

As long as I don't have a decent internet connection it is nearly
impossible to do some work.

I'll keep you all posted on the progress.

Sorry & Cheers

Markus
