Can somebody please explain, how WSO deploy its products?
First i got familiar with WSO EI 6.6. I could create a proxy service or use the DSS to make API alternative to entity framework in .net core services.
Then I found out that the superior product to WSO2 EI is WSO2 APIM - api manager.
WSO2 APIM has WSO2 IS included, so it is basically the single point for authentication and service proxying and so on.. However I have not seen there any option to make the DSS ??
WSO EI 7.0 is completly different to WSO EI 6.6 as far as i understand. WSO EI 7 is the name for 3 other products balerina integrator, microservice and streaming integrator. None of these services has the /carbon framework and all of them are just some apis for some custom editor. If this is true, why do they call it WSO EI 7?? Does that mean that the configuration of proxy services or access to database through res api is obsole and should not be used for new project?
So basically there is no way to have DSS in latests products?? Do I must use WSO EI 6.6 in order to use the DSS?
I have scratched my head at the naming and grouping of these products previously as well. From what I could figure, every now and then the groups change. As you have noticed rightfully, EI was the latest one to change. It indeed split into 3 entities. It is however still usable with code from EI 6.6. The Micro Integrator can be downloaded separately and used with all the code and CAR files made with 6.6. I have run a couple of them and found no problems thus far. It is basically the latest version but without the Carbon framework and frontend. One MI instance also runs just 1 CAR file but does so really fast.
As for your DSS needs I have no experience with that side of WSO2. I googled however and found that DSS can be downloaded right here as a standalone product. I hope that solves your last question.
The APIM is not superior to EI either, but functions in a different way. Since the older products were all based on Carbon as you mentioned before means there was a certain bit of overlap. IS for example can also be downloaded separately.
If I was to guess I would say they WSO2 will be trying to make all their services into Microservice versions in the upcoming years. This is just speculation btw.
If you want to dive more into the reasoning behind WSO EI 7.0 and why it was decided to work like that I would suggest this talk by the WSO2 director.

When I Try to download WSO2 Process Server, It redirects me to API Manager.

Is the WSO2 Process Server deprecated?
WSO2 Business Process Server(BPS) is now deprecated and discontinued. But you can still use it. WSO2 BPS was merged to WSO2 Enterprise Integrator a couple of years back as a different runtime. So if you want to use BPS capabilities you can download WSO2 EI from here and start the Business Process Profile. You can read more about the BPS Profile here.
Yes, the product is not available now.
You can migrate to EI 6.6.0 if you are using WSO2 BPS 3.6.0 - https://docs.wso2.com/display/EI660/Upgrading+from+WSO2+Business+Process+Server
In the latest EI/MI versions do not come with the BPS solution.
It's best to migrate to Micro-integrator 4.1.0 and use the latest capabilities of the enterprise integration. Micro-integrator is the latest version of the WSO2 ESB platform. However, it does not support BPS capabilities as moving forward, WSO2 will continue to provide only the interprise integration capabilities through the platform and for some of the features such as Message Broker and BPS have been deprecated. For use cases on Message Broker and BPS, you need to integrate with 3rd party products such as Camunda (for BPS) and RabbitMQ (for Message Broker).
We are doing technical feasibility for migrating to WSO2 Micro Integrator 7.X version.
From the documentation it seems the admin services can now be explored in a REST API way or in a visualized dashboard manner (https://ei.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/micro-integrator/administer-and-observe/working-with-management-api/) .
What about other admin services like AuthenticationAdmin service and others , see link in paranthesis (https://docs.wso2.com/display/EI650/Working+with+Admin+Services). Is it possible to access these back end services in WSO2 Micro Integrator 7, keeping in view that only a micro integrator is used within the plaform.
I am wondering as the footprint of a micro integrator is small , these admin backend services which earlier available may not be accessible within the Micro Integrator at all. Do let me know if that is a correct understanding.
Hi Rajarshi Bhattacharjee
Basically the admin services which were in EI 6x series is no-more in Micro Integrator. These are new REST APIs which are there to retrieve the artifacts. You might see the available rest APIs in https://github.com/wso2/micro-integrator/blob/master/doc/mi-rest-api.md . Please report an issue in https://github.com/wso2/micro-integrator/issues if there is a necessity for other services.
Thanks !

I have already read many documentations of WSO2, there are some products of WSO2 such as: Enterprise Integration (EI), API Management (APIM), Identity Access Management (IS), Analytics Stream Processing (SP). I can understand the functions of IS and SP.
1. But I dont know what are differences between EI and APIM?
2. When can we use EI? When can we use APIM?
3. Can we merge WSO2 EI and APIM and IS and SP Products to execute all of them on one server?
Sorry for many questions, but I am really confuse in these matters, please give me advice.
WSO2 EI can be used to integrate different systems, orchestrate and then expose as new services/APIs.
WSO2 APIM can be used to manage those services/APIs. You can manage security, rate limiting, CORS, etc. and can see analytics of API usage etc. too. For APIM analytics, there is a customized version of SP which you can download separately.
You can't run all 4 as a single server. Those are 4 runtimes, so you have to start them separately.
Halo everybody (maybe Asela? :),
Can anyone guide me how can I implement Oracle Coherence as a Cache provider with WSO2 Identity Server 5.0.0 clustered using with WSO2 ELB?
I found some very useful links on that topic, from which I consider this one as a good start: Clustering Identity Server
But I cannot find a way how to find solution for changing Hazelcast cache provider for any other provider.
I also realized, WSO2 is not using javax.caching implementation from JDK (since it was introduced in 1.7 and later), it is using its own based on JSR-107 (from which JSR I suppose Java JDK JCache is originated.
This article shows, that there is a way, how to somehow implement user JSR 107 JCache, but I don't see it configured for whole Identity Server:
WSO2 Multi-tenant Cache: JSR-107 (JCache)
I'm expecting answer which will guide me, what to change or add (for instance to carbon core) and where to setup / configure those changes, to make them global used within WSO2 Identity Server 5.0.0.
I hope it is relevant question and since this Carbon based platform is very rich and configurable, I hope this will be possible with some time invested.
Thank you in advance,
Josef
Coherence supports the real JCache APIs, so if WSO2 uses JCache, it should be easy to integrate Coherence!
I want to merge WSO2 ESB and Data Services Products to execute both of them
on one server.
Both of them are based on Carbon framework and consists of some OSGi bundles.
Is there a simple way to do this.
Best regards.

Yes. You can install the ESB features in the DSS or vise versa. Feature installing way is common for all the WSO2 Carbon Servers (ESB, IS, AS, DSS, BAM .....). Here is a blog post I wrote on installing an AS feature in IS. It is the same procedure for the ESB or DSS, find the required features, install them.
