Useful Commands & Troubleshooting

» Check System Readiness

Run a validation check to ensure all configurations are correct:

sh ./apliqoux.sh validate

» List Available Containers

To check which containers are running:

sh ./apliqoux.sh containers

services:
  apliqo-mongo:
    container_name: apliqo-mongo
  apliqo-spa:
    container_name: apliqo-spa
  apliqo-api:
    container_name: apliqo-api
  apliqo-redis:
    container_name: apliqo-redis

» Debugging & Logs

To check logs for a specific container:

sh ./apliqoux.sh service logs {container_name}

To check overall system performance (CPU, memory, running containers, etc.):

sh ./apliqoux.sh service status

» Managing Environment Variables

Set a new environment variable:

sh ./apliqoux.sh env-manager set <VARIABLE> <VALUE>

Example (changing PORT_EXPOSE to 4003):

sh ./apliqoux.sh env-manager set PORT_EXPOSE 4003

To apply changes, restart the relevant services:

sh ./apliqoux.sh service restart apliqo-api

sh ./apliqoux.sh service restart apliqo-spa

1. Download Apliqo UX CLI

📩 If you don’t have the ApliqoUX CLI download link yet, please contact our team.

• unzip it in the same directory as docker-compose.yml.

2. Stop all containers:

docker compose down

3. Run a validation check:

sh ./apliqoux.sh validate

✅ You should see: [SUCCESS] Validation Complete

4. Install Apliqo UX CLI:

sh ./apliqoux.sh install 

5. Final Step

• Open http://your-ip-address in your browser.

Final Notes

Always validate your setup with:

sh ./apliqoux.sh validate 

If you run into issues, check logs using:

sh ./apliqoux.sh service logs {container_name} 

Restart services after making changes:

sh ./apliqoux.sh service restart {service_name}

Authentication

Apliqo supports flexible authentication configurations, allowing multiple options to work together. Below, we break down how to enable and configure various authentication methods step by step.

» Authentication Overview

1. Authentication Sources:
Apliqo authenticates users through designated TM1 instances. Authentication is successful if at least one configured TM1 instance validates the credentials.

2. Multiple Authentication Instances:
You can configure multiple TM1 instances with different authentication methods. For example:

• A specific instance may handle authentication for Apliqo.

• Other instances may function purely as data models.

3. Limitations:

If a report relies on a TM1 instance not set up as an authentication source, you won’t have an active session for that instance after logging in.

• In such cases, the ‘Login to Instance’ dialog will appear, letting you log in manually. Both sessions will remain cached, even if you close the browser tab.

» Enabling CAMPassport Authentication

To set up CAMPassport Authentication, follow these steps:

1. Add an Instance with CAMPassport authentication enabled.

2. Turn on the Authentication Source switch for this instance.

3. Open the instance’s Edit Dialog.

4. Go to the CAMPassport tab on the right side.

5. Check the CAM Server Link:

   • By default, Apliqo retrieves this link from the WWW-Authenticate header. Adjust as necessary.

6. Configure the Environment:

   • Add APLQIO_HOSTNAME to the .env file as specified in the Environment Variables guide.

   • Apply the changes by running the following command:

docker compose up -d --force-recreate apliqo-api

7. Go to the Login Page and verify that the Login via SSO button appears.

» CAMNamespace

To set up CAMNamespace Authentication, follow these steps:

1. Add an Instance with CAMNamespace authentication enabled.

2. Turn on the Authentication Source switch for this instance.

3. Open the instance’s Edit Dialog.

4. Go to the CAMNamespace tab on the right side.

5. Add your supported namespaces to the Client CAMNamespaces field:

   • Use comma-separated values for multiple namespaces.

6. Go to the Login Page and verify that the namespace selection dropdown appears.
