Removing components from wso2 api manager - wso2

WSO2 API manager has 4 components
API Gateway
API Publisher
API Store
API Key Manager Server
I would like to run each of these components on separate boxes. While doing so on box where I have API Publisher component I want to remove other 3 components from the api manager so on with other components. By this I would like to achieve that only 1 component exists at run time of each instance of wso2 api manger.
I would like to know how can we remove each of these components from wso2 api manager?

You can remove the relevant features from the product via Carbon Feature Management (Or you can add necessary features as well).
You can find more information regarding how to uninstall a particular feature here.
You can also find more information regarding feature management for WSO2 Carbon products here.

To add to Lasantha's answer, this article describes how these 4 components can be deployed separately in a cluster with an ELB.

Installing High Level components is supported from API Manager 1.5.0 onwards. If you want to start API Manager as one of the components, that can be achieved by starting as a server profile. You can find more information here.

WSO 2 AM User Management API

I'm currently building an app that consume data from WSO2AM Restful API. I'm using WSO2AM 2.1.0
From what I see from https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM210/Publisher+APIs, there is no API end point for User Management, and the thing is I need that one.
So after doing some google, I found this https://docs.wso2.com/display/IS530/Managing+Users+and+Roles+with+APIs but in that link it's clearly says that it's for WSO2IS
My questions are:
Is there available user management API for WSO2AM (doesn't matter if it's Restful or SOAP-WSDL)
Is this WSO2IS user management API can be used on the WSO2AM ?
Thank you in advance
All WSO2 products are built on a single platform, therefore components of each product are mixed in other products such as user management component is used by all of the WSO2 products even though it is developed as an identity component. Hence you can use the following steps to access the user management soap service in WSO2 API Manager.
Set the "HideAdminServiceWSDLs" element to "false" in /repository/conf/carbon.xml file.
Restart the API Manager Server.
If you have started the server in default configurations, use the following URL in your browser to see the WSDL of the admin service: https://localhost:9443/services/RemoteUserStoreManagerService?wsdl.

WSO2 api manager 2.1.0 clustering

I am trying to setup WSO2 api manager(as windows service) with clustering, used steps at the end of the page found at this link.
https://docs.wso2.com/display/CLUSTER44x/Clustering+API+Manager+2.0.0
<clustering class="org.wso2.carbon.core.clustering.hazelcast.HazelcastClusteringAgent"
enable="true">
I have 2 nodes in a load balancer, I have all 4 components(Publisher
,Store,Key Manager,Gateway) on both nodes. When setup individually, both nodes work.
However, when clustering is enabled, store does not replicate from one node to another. I have hosts file updated as needed. I tried making several changes to axis2.xml, api-manager.xml; some of these changes cause api manager to stop working altogether.
Does anyone have suggestions for a successful clustering setup? Is there something that is needed, is not mentioned in the steps mentioned at above link?
I think the documentation that you are following is not the relevant one. If you are clustering WSO2 API Manager 2.1.0 version please use API Manager 2.1.0 clustering docuemntation which is inside the API Manager product documentation itself.

does fuseesb have a similar UI framework concept to wso2 carbon?

I've been looking at WSO2 Carbon as an OSGi application platform providing the following functionality:
Services can be deployed as OSGi components (backend and frontend/UI)
A Service UI components can be hosted (snapped) into the Carbon UI
A Service can use Carbon User Management database for authentication and authorization
Does fuseesb have a similar UI concept?
Using fuse ESB for about 6 months, I'm very happy with it.
Services are easily deployed as OSGi components - these are quite easily configured and deployed as fuse features. Fuse profiles then contain property files that define which features are deployed to your OSGi containers.
Although I haven't used every feature, I haven't seen a similar UI concept for hosting / snapping.
For authentication and authorization there are various approaches - one nice solution is to use Apache zookeeper (a key/value store) as a basis for a simple user management component that can be available to all your services.

WSO2 Stratos Live Services / APIs

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

Multi-Tenant Enterprise Application Architecture and WSO2 Product Selection and Communication

I am planning to implement enterprise application using wso2. I have following list of functions in my application and I have already chosen wso2 products for them.
Dynamic Business Process - WSO2-BPS 3.0.1
Dynamic Rule -- WSO2-BRS 2.0
Integration with LDAP, Sharepoint -- WSO2-IS 4.0
SOAP & REST Services -- WSO2-AS 5.0.1
My concerns are:
1) How can I share resources (configuration files, registries, etc) between products?
2) If I create Tenant in IS then How it will be available to other carbon products. can I use same tenant in other carbon products?
3) Can I externalize storage of Tenants?
4) Single sign on (logged in one product can also access other products)
You can simply achieve this via our stratos Which will provide you to access to tenants from one product to another using centralised user store and you can use the Single sign on with Stratos which is by default available within products. You can play around with stratos from this.
If you download the local setup of stratos which will have all the WSO2 products as already pre-configured to run them in your private cloud. You can refer the README in the local setup pack for more information to run the setup.
