The init() and setContext() are the initialization classes and must be invoked only once by using appConfigClient. The appConfigClient, when initialized, can be obtained across classes by using AppConfiguration.getInstance(). For more information, see [Fetching the appConfigClient across other classes](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/app-configuration?topic=app-configuration-ac-javafetching-the-appConfigClient-across-other-classes).



 Using private endpoints 

Set the SDK to connect to App Configuration service by using a private endpoint that is accessible only through the IBM Cloud private network.

appConfigClient.usePrivateEndpoint(true);

This must be done before calling the init function on the SDK.





 Option to use a persistent cache for configuration 

For your application and SDK to continue operations during the unlikely scenario of an App Configuration service downtime, across your application restarts, you can configure the SDK to work by using a persistent cache. The SDK uses the persistent cache to store the App Configuration data that is available across your application restarts.

// 1. default (without persistent cache)
appConfigClient.setContext(collectionId, environmentId);

// 2. optional (with persistent cache)

For an IBM i VM, you must use the [Cloud Storage Solution for IBM i product (5733-ICC)](https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-cloud-storage-solutions-i) to communicate with COS and transfer data.





 Mass Data Migration (MDM) 

MDM provides a simple and secure way to physically transfer data (terabytes to petabytes) to the IBM Cloud Object Storage to be used by Power Systems Virtual Server. As part of the MDM process, IBM sends the client an MDM-approved device, who uploads their on-premises data to the device and sends it back. IBM then transfers and stores the content in COS for later retrieval from within the Power Systems Virtual Server environment. To learn more, see [Mass Data Migration: FAQ](https://www.ibm.com/cloud/mass-data-migration/faq).

The data transfer rate for MDM on an IBM i system is roughly 110-120 MB/sec. It takes between 2.5 and 3 hours to successfully transfer 1 TB of data.

For steps to configure MDM on AIX and IBM i VMs, see the following tutorials:



* [Configuring IBM Cloud Mass Data Migration (MDM) on AIX VM](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/power-iaas?topic=power-iaas-configuring-mdm)
Each object change in a batch request is handled individually. For example: A batch request to delete 200 hundred objects would result in 200 individual delete events and 200 trigger fires. For more information, see [Details and limits](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openwhisk?topic=openwhisk-pkg_obstoragepkg_cos_limits).

How do I use the trigger?
: After you create a trigger that listens for change events, you can connect it to a Cloud Functions action or sequence of actions to process the object changes. You can use one of the following methods to create actions that are executed when the trigger is fired:
: 

* You can create actions by using the sample code provided in the [COS SDK](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-object-storage/libraries?topic=cloud-object-storage-sdk-gs). The SDK includes code samples for Go, Node.js, Java, and Python.
* You can write your own [actions](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openwhisk?topic=openwhisk-actions) or [web actions](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openwhisk?topic=openwhisk-actions_web) in the language of your choice.
* You can use the sample JavaScript code provided in the [Connecting an action to the trigger](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openwhisk?topic=openwhisk-pkg_obstoragecos_feed_action_connect) section.



Can I have multiple revisions of objects in my bucket?
: Yes! Object Storage version support allows you to have more than one version of an object in your bucket. For more information, see [Versioning objects](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cloud-object-storage?topic=cloud-object-storage-versioning).

Can I use replication with my IBM Cloud Object Storage trigger?
: Yes!
You can define a target, the resource where events are routed to, in any Activity Tracker Event Routing supported region. However, the target resource can be located in any region where that type of target is supported, in the same account or in a different account. You can define rules to determine where auditing events are to be routed by configuring 1 or more routes in the account. You can define rules for managing global events and location-based events that are generated in regions where Activity Tracker Event Routing is supported.
* Where can I find the list of Cloud services that generate Activity Tracker events?

You can find information about the Cloud services that generate audit events and send those to Activity Tracker in the following documentation topic: [Cloud services](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/activity-tracker?topic=activity-tracker-cloud_services).
* Where can I find the actions that a service generates?

You can find links to the list of events that each Cloud service generates in the following documentation topic: [Cloud services](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/activity-tracker?topic=activity-tracker-cloud_services).
* Where can I find the events that a Cloud service generates?

In Activity Tracker Event Routing, you can differentiate events by scope as [global events](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/activity-tracker?topic=activity-tracker-event_typesevent_types_global) or [location-based events](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/activity-tracker?topic=activity-tracker-event_typesevent_types_location), and by operational impact as management or data events.

First, you need to check if you need to configure your service, upgrade your plan, or both to be able to collect Activity Tracker events.



* Management events are collected automatically for most Cloud services except Watson services that require a paid plan.

If you are looking for Watson Activity Tracker events, check your plan and make sure you have a service plan that includes them.
* Data events are collected automatically for most services except the following ones:

AppID requires a paid plan and you opting in.

Cloud Object Storage requires that you enable them by bucket.
The admin credentials can be used to connect to both Db2 and the web console.



* Now that I've generated credentials, how do I access my Db2 Warehouse on Cloud instance?

You can access your Db2 Warehouse on Cloud instance through several methods, including a dedicated web console and a REST API. For more information, see [Interfaces](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Db2whc?topic=Db2whc-interfaces).
* What's managed for me with Db2 Warehouse on Cloud?

IBM handles all of the software upgrades, operating system updates, and hardware maintenance for your Db2 Warehouse on Cloud instance. IBM also preconfigures Db2 parameters for optimal performance across analytical workloads, and takes care of encryption and regular backups of your data.

The service includes 24x7 health monitoring of the database and infrastructure. In the event of a hardware or software failure, the service is automatically restarted. Because Db2 Warehouse on Cloud is a fully-managed SaaS offering, you do not get SSH access or root access to the underlying server hardware, and cannot install additional software.
* Where can I find more information about Db2 Warehouse on Cloud?

In addition to the IBM Cloud documentation site, there is a wide range of information about the underlying Db2 engine functionality in the [Knowledge Center](https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS6NHC/com.ibm.swg.im.dashdb.kc.doc/welcome.html). Updates to the service are posted on our [What's New](https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/whats-new-ibm-db2-warehouse-cloud) page.

You can find pricing information and deploy a Db2 Warehouse on Cloud instance through the IBM Cloud [catalog](https://cloud.ibm.com/catalog/services/db2-warehouse) page for IBM Cloud. To learn more, contact [IBM Sales](https://www.ibm.com/contact/us/en/).
* Where can I find help for a problem that I'm having?
The development process includes things like vulnerability scanning and remediation, periodic penetration testing, and frequent security reviews by world-class security experts. The data in App Configuration is encrypted by default both in transit and at rest. (See the App Configuration Data Processing and Protection data sheet to learn more). Additionally, you secure access to your own instances of App Configuration by using IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM). You can use IBM Cloud Security and Compliance Center for ongoing security monitoring and alerts for your App Configuration instances.
* Can I get more evaluation behavior details with App Configuration SDKs?

Yes. Debugging can be enabled for App Configuration SDK. As an example, use code client.setDebug(true) to enable more traces for Node.js SDK. Refer to [SDK](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/app-configuration?topic=app-configuration-ac-sdks) documentation for specific SDKs.
* How can I get real-time updates of feature flag or properties in my application?

Any update is pushed to the application in real time by the App Configuration service. To listen to the changes, implement the following code in your Node.js application:

client.emitter.on('configurationUpdate', () => {
// add your code
})



Continuous Delivery



* How do I pass artifacts between pipeline jobs?

When a stage runs, the stage's input is passed to each of the jobs in the stage. Each job is given a clean container to run in. As a result, jobs within a stage cannot pass artifacts to each other. To pass artifacts between jobs, separate the jobs into two stages, and use the output from the job in the first stage as input to the second stage.

For more information about pipeline jobs, see [Jobs](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/ContinuousDelivery?topic=ContinuousDelivery-deliverypipeline_aboutdeliverypipeline_jobs).
* Is there a maximum time limit that my pipeline jobs can run?
* Now that I've generated credentials, how do I access my Netezza Performance Server instance?

You can access your Netezza Performance Server instance several ways, including a dedicated web console and a REST API.

For more information, see [Connecting to Netezza Performance Server](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/netezza?topic=netezza-connecting-overview).
* What's managed for me with Netezza Performance Server?

IBM handles all of the software upgrades, operating system updates, and hardware maintenance for your Netezza Performance Server instance. IBM also preconfigures Netezza Performance Server parameters for optimal performance across analytical workloads, and takes care of encryption and regular backups of your data.

The service includes 24x7 health monitoring of the database and infrastructure.

In the event of a hardware or software failure, the service is automatically restarted. Because Netezza Performance Server is a fully-managed SaaS offering, you do not get SSH access or root access to the underlying server hardware, and cannot install additional software.
* Where can I find more information about Netezza Performance Server?



* In addition to the IBM Cloud documentation site, there is a wide range of information about the underlying Netezza Performance Server engine functionality in the [IBM Documentation](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/netezza).
* Updates to the service are posted in the [Release notes](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/netezza?topic=server-netezza-release-notes).
* You can find pricing information one the IBM Cloud [catalog](https://cloud.ibm.com/catalogservices) page.



For more information, contact [IBM Sales](https://www.ibm.com/contact/us/en/).
* Where can I find help for a problem that I'm having?

For information about posting questions on a forum or opening a support ticket, see:



* [Opening tickets](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/netezza?topic=netezza-tickets&interface=ui)
String value = (String) property.getCurrentValue(entityId, entityAttributes);



* entityId: Id of the entity. This is a string identifier related to the entity against which the property is evaluated. For example, an entity might be an instance of an app that runs on a mobile device, a microservice that runs on the cloud, or a component of infrastructure that runs that microservice. For any entity to interact with App Configuration, it must provide a unique entity ID.
* entityAttributes: A JSON object consisting of the attribute name and their values that define the specified entity. This is an optional parameter if the property is not configured with any targeting definition. If the targeting is configured, then entityAttributes should be provided for the rule evaluation. An attribute is a parameter that is used to define a segment. The SDK uses the attribute values to determine whether the specified entity satisfies the targeting rules, and returns the appropriate property value.









 Fetching the appConfigClient across other classes 

When the SDK is initialized, the appConfigClient can be obtained across other classes as shown:

// other classes

import com.ibm.cloud.appconfiguration.sdk.AppConfiguration;
AppConfiguration appConfigClient = AppConfiguration.getInstance();

Feature feature = appConfigClient.getFeature("string-feature");
boolean enabled = feature.isEnabled();
String featureValue = (String) feature.getCurrentValue(entityId, entityAttributes);







 Supported data types 

App Configuration service allows you to configure feature flags and properties with the following data types: Boolean, Numeric, String. The String data type can be of the format of a TEXT string, JSON, or YAML. The SDK processes each format as shown in the table 1.



Table 1. Example outputs
