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.

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 am currently using WSO2 DSS to create RESTful APIs to access the databases.
I need DSS to perform OAuth authentication for every incoming request. Is there a way I can do it without using WSO2 API Manager or WSO2 ESB?
If I have to change the source code to implement this feature, which particular library should I be looking into?
For this scenario without using WSO2 API Manager you need use three products of WSO2 SOA Suite (ESB, IS, DSS). In other case you can add the WSO2 DSS as a feature to the WSO2 ESB, and use IS as key manager. Check this links and take your best decision.

newbie on ESB and BRS here.
Below message was displayed in WSO2 download page for BRS:
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The WSO2 Business Rules Server (WSO2 BRS) was created as a mechanism to host standalone business rules services. We no longer believe it is well suited for others to use directly, and as such it will no longer be available for download.
We currently have the ability to execute business rules within WSO2 ESB, and we encourage you to continue to use the WSO2 ESB to create business rules services.
If you are currently using WSO2 BRS as a standalone product please contact us
We will of course support it as needed or help you migrate to the right higher level product.
How can I implement this example I saw on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-D2Hgdrzs8 using WSO2 ESB because BRS is no longer promoted.
I don't know also if I got it right, but my understanding is that the mediators like rule mediator is the best fit solution to implement business rules in ESB now. Am I right?
I hope you can help me how to translate the video tutorial from using BRS to ESB in WSO2, or at least if you know some good sites to read and use as reference, then I am happy to visit them as well.
Thank you in advance.
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!
currently I´m evaluating WSO2 Stratos LIVE as a public PaaS. I did much research but there are still some questions:
1.) Does WSO2 Stratos Live offer a "multi-tenancy-api" to make Java web applications multi-tenant-aware (something like the Google App Engine Namespace API)?
2.) Is the cartridge-based architecture available (like in WSO2 Stratos 2)?
3.) Are there official API documentations / code samples for all the cloud services? I just found blog posts and webinars. But an official api documentation and code samples would be very great (for example how to unse Identity Server for authentication in Java web applications).
4.) Based on WSO2 API Manager deployment on Stratos, I assume that the API manager is not available as cloud-service?
5.) Do I have hosting options on Stratos Live (e.g. Java Version, the country / Data Center where my app will be hosted)?
6.) Does exist a logs-api to access application logs from my application?
7.) Are there apis for data handling (for example Map Reduce, execution of cron jobs, CDN)?
8.) Do I have a local test environment? I know that there are IDE plugins for an easy deployment. But is it possible to test my app with all WSO2 Stratos Live cloud services local on my machine without connecting to the real services?
I know this is a lot but it would be more than helpful if the WSO2 professionals would help me to answer those questions. As I said, I did much research but those 8 questions are still open.
Thanks a lot and best regards
Ben
See the answers in-line.
1.) Does WSO2 Stratos Live offer a "multi-tenancy-api" to make Java web applications multi-tenant-aware (something like the Google App Engine Namespace API)?
Yes. Your web app can be multi-tenanted.

http://www.slideshare.net/afkham_azeez/building-a-multitenanted-cloudnative-appserver
2.) Is the cartridge-based architecture available (like in WSO2 Stratos 2)?
Not yet. But our plan is to make Stratos2.0 as the foundation of StratosLive. This will be done after the GA release of Stratos2.0 (it is now in beta stage)
3.) Are there official API documentations / code samples for all the cloud services? I just found blog posts and webinars. But an official api documentation and code samples would be very great (for example how to unse Identity Server for authentication in Java web applications).
All the documents and samples available for WSO2 products are valid for StratosLive. Reason is, we have deployed the very same product in the cloud. We are in the process of filling the documentation gap with regards to StratosLive at the moment.
4.) Based on WSO2 API Manager deployment on Stratos, I assume that the API manager is not available as cloud-service?
Not yet. It will be available in the future.
5.) Do I have hosting options on Stratos Live (e.g. Java Version, the country / Data Center where my app will be hosted)?
No. StratosLive uses shared instances to achieve multi-tenantcy (not like some other PaaSes which uses a JVM per tenant). Therefore, hosting options are not available.
6.) Does exist a logs-api to access application logs from my application?
Yes. We allow the tenants to view system logs and application logs. Unfortunately the API for log viewing is not documented yet.

7.) Are there apis for data handling (for example Map Reduce, execution of cron jobs, CDN)?
Map reduce related tasks can be handled using toolboxes which can be deployed in WSO2 BAM (monitor.stratoslive.wso2.com). Please check the WSO2 BAM2 documentation for more info.
8.) Do I have a local test environment? I know that there are IDE plugins for an easy deployment. But is it possible to test my app with all WSO2 Stratos Live cloud services local on my machine without connecting to the real services?
You can download and use the Stratos local setup which can be found at http://wso2.com/cloud/stratos
