Accessing Context Based Root Volt Foundry Instance through Iris

Accessing Context Based Root Volt MX Foundry Instance through Iris

After you complete registration for a context based root for a Volt MX Foundry instance by using the installer or manual steps, you can now also launch the context based Volt MX Foundry through Iris. The headless-build.properties configuration is required only for CI build.

To access a context based root Volt MX Foundry instance through Iris, follow these steps:

  • Navigate to the folder where Volt MX Iris is installed.
    For example, C:\IrisInstaller-GA-x.x.x.x
  • Enter the following values in <install_dir>/install_config.js
exports.foundry =
{ "consolecontext": "",   
 "identitycontext": "",   
 "accountscontext": "",   
 "workspacecontext": "" };
  • After adding the relevant custom context paths which are applicable, start/restart(if already launched) Iris and then change the Foundry URL in Preferences.

Note: To switch back to Foundry on-premise without the custom context paths, you must close Iris, clear the entries from install_config and restart Iris.

  • Configure the HeadlessBuild.properties file for contexts that you have configured for Volt MX Foundry, as follows:

    1. Open the HeadlessBuild.properties file. Refer to Configure the HeadlessBuild.properties File.

    2. In the HeadlessBuild.properties file, add the required contexts at the end of the file.

      For example:

      • For console, the URL: context.path.console=console1
      • For identity, the URL: context.path.identity=identity1
      • For workspace, the URL: context.path.workspace=workspace1
      • For accounts, the URL: context.path.identity=accounts1

    Note: The headless-build.properties configuration is required only for CI build.

  • Save the file.

  • Launch Volt MX Foundry Console through Iris. You can now build apps using new context based Volt MX Foundry instance.
