Based on IBM’s lifecycle policy for support, EoS was six months after the General Availability (GA) date of IBM Cloud® Virtual Router Appliance (VRA).

To honor customer migration timelines, the Vyatta 5400 EoS date was extended to March 31, 2019. Because the Debian 7 software is now no longer supported by the Debian Open Source community, there are no future plans to extend vendor support from AT&T.

For more information, see the [End of Support Announcement](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/virtual-router-appliance?topic=virtual-router-appliance-vyatta-5400-end-of-support-announcement).
* What does “End of Support” mean for me as a customer?

After the End of Support date, AT&T no longer provides any code patches or accept support escalations from IBM.

Similarly, IBM Cloud Support no longer troubleshoots configuration or networking issues on Vyatta 5400 deployments. Support is limited to hardware level requests (hard drive, RAM, and so on), power and Out of Band (IPMI) connectivity.

It is highly recommend that customers take immediate action to migrate onto an alternate solution, such as the IBM Cloud® Virtual Router Appliance (VRA; based on the Vyatta 5600) or Juniper vSRX. See [Migrating Vyatta 5400](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/virtual-router-appliance?topic=virtual-router-appliance-migration-overview) to get started.
* What happens if I'm still running my IBM Cloud workloads using a Vyatta 5400 after March 31?

Your Vyatta 5400 continues to work after March 31. However, your business and application environments might be exposed to potential security threats and other tampering violations due to latent vulnerabilities in the Vyatta 5400 software.

 FAQs about the new IBM Watson® Assistant experience 



 What is the new IBM Watson® Assistant experience? 

The new Watson Assistant is an improved way to build, publish, and improve virtual assistants. In the new experience, you use actions to build conversations. Actions are a simple way for anyone to create assistants. For more information, see the [Getting Started guide](https://www.ibm.com/blogs/watson/2021/12/getting-started-with-the-new-watson-assistant-part-i-the-build-guide/) or the [documentation](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/watson-assistant) for the new experience.





 Why can't I see the assistants that I made with classic Watson Assistant in the new experience? 

The new Watson Assistant is a clean slate in the same IBM Cloud instance as your classic experience. Assistants that you created in one experience don't appear in the other. However, you can switch back and forth between experiences without losing any work. For more information, see [Switching the experience](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/watson-assistant?topic=watson-assistant-welcome-new-assistantwelcome-new-assistant-switch-experience).





 What happens when I switch between the classic and new Watson Assistant experiences? 

The assistants that you create in one experience don't transfer to the other. However, you can switch experiences, return to your work, and create or use assistants. You don't lose anything by switching. Changing experiences doesn't affect other users in the same instance. For more information, see [Switching the experience](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/watson-assistant?topic=watson-assistant-welcome-new-assistantwelcome-new-assistant-switch-experience).





 Is the classic Watson Assistant experience going away? 

IBM has no plans to discontinue the classic Watson Assistant experience. However, we encourage you to explore the benefits and capabilities in the new Watson Assistant.
Can a Qiskit Runtime service instance be shared between users? 

Qiskit Runtime supports IBM Cloud® Identity and Access Management (IAM). With IAM, the user who deployed the service can enable users and groups to access the service. The user who deployed the service gets charged for the usage of all users who are enabled for that service instance.





 How long does it take to deploy Qiskit Runtime in IBM Cloud®? 

The service can be deployed in about 10 seconds and can be used immediately after it appears in the IBM Cloud® account resource list.





 How can I access IBM Quantum systems after the Qiskit Runtime service is deployed in IBM Cloud? 

Make sure to use the Standard plan when you deploy a service instance of Qiskit Runtime, as described in the [Getting started guide](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/quantum-computing?topic=quantum-computing-get-started).





 What programing languages can I use to program against the primitives? 

The Cloud service API is programming language independent. However, Qiskit provides a comprehensive framework for quantum computing. Qiskit uses and supports Python.





 Why can't I run my uploaded custom program? 

Running, adding, or changing custom programs are not supported on IBM Cloud Qiskit Runtime. If you used this function previously, you can instead use code that calls primitives. To get performance benefits comparable to uploaded programs, you can use use sessions, which are a service aware context manager that minimizes artificial queuing latency inside an iterative workload.
* A SNAT rule (disabled by default) is in place to convert all IP addresses from the private subnet to a single IP address on the public subnet.
* Remote access for the customer-managed NSX Edge appliance is disabled.
* Passwords for accessing the customer-managed NSX Edge from the private network are randomized and encrypted.







 How do I choose the data centers for my instances? 

The instance deployments have strict physical infrastructure requirements, which vary among IBM Cloud data centers. When you place your instance order, the available data centers are listed within regions and you can select the one that you want from the list.

For more information, see the IBM Cloud data center availability sections in:



* [Requirements and planning for vCenter Server instances](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vmwaresolutions?topic=vmwaresolutions-vc_planning)
* [Requirements and planning for VMware vSphere](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vmwaresolutions?topic=vmwaresolutions-vs_planning)







 How long does it take for my instance to be deployed? 

You can check the status of the instance deployment by viewing the deployment history on the instance details page from the IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions console.





 How do I add a public network to a vCenter Server instance ordered as private network only? 

Cancel the order, and then place a new order with the configuration that you want for a public IP address or public VLAN. You cannot add a public network after it was ordered as private network only.





 How do I request a RAM upgrade for ESXi hosts? 

The account owner can increase the RAM on ESXi servers by following these steps:



1. Log in to the IBM Cloud console and go to the device list.
2. Select the ESXi server to be modified.
3. From the details page, click Modify next to RAM or memory.
4. Specify the higher limit. Then, confirm the change to place your order.
5. Repeat these steps, as needed, for each additional ESXi server.
How do I ensure that my users can create resources within a resource group? 

To create a resource in a resource group, the user must have two access policies: one assigned to the resource group itself, and one assigned to the resources in the group. Access to the resource group itself is simply access to the container that organizes the resources, and this type of policy allows a user to view, edit, or manage access to the group, but not the resources within it. Access to services within the resource group enables a user to work with the service instances, which means the user can create a service instance.

So, minimally the user must have the following access:



* Viewer role or higher on the resource group itself
* Editor role or higher on the service or all services in the resource group







 How do I assign access to all resource groups? 

To assign a user, service ID, or access group a policy on all resource groups,you must assign the following:



* A policy for All Identity and Access enabled services with the Viewer resource group access role selected. However, you must also assign at least one platform or service role to assign this type of policy.
* A policy for All Account Management services with the Viewer role or higher provides access to view all resource groups. However, be aware that this type of policy also assigns the role that you choose for each account management service, so it can be a powerful policy that enables a user to manage users, account settings, billing information, and more.
* A policy with Resource group only and a particular resource group that is selected as well as a resource group access role assigned. You can repeat this type of policy as needed for each available resource group in the account.



You can also assign access to individual resource groups with a policy on a service as long as you select a targeted resource group by name and assign a resource group access role.





 What access enables a user to work with a single resource? 

A user must be assigned an access policy on the specific resource with at least the Viewer role that is assigned on the resource group itself that contains the resource. To assign this type of policy, see [Assigning access to resources](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-assign-access-resources).





 What access do I need to provide others access?
Do I still have a single, fixed IP address for my load balancer when I migrate to Cloud Load Balancer? 

IPs for IBM Cloud Load Balancer are not fixed. The IBM Cloud Load Balancer assigns load balancer instances from a pool, which requires a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) at all times. As a result, the individual IP address of a Cloud Load Balancer might change.





 Is IBM Cloud Load Balancer available for Public/Private VSI's and Bare metal solutions? 

Yes, Cloud Load Balancer is available for public and private VSIs, as well as Bare metal.





 Is IBM Cloud Load Balancer GDPR compliant? 

Yes, the Cloud Load Balancer offering is GDPR-compliant.





 After I begin the migration, how much downtime or traffic disruption can I expect with my system? 

You won't experience downtime or traffic disruption as a result of the load balancer migration. The only downtime or traffic disruption you might encounter is when updating your Local Load Balancer configuration to the new IBM Cloud Load Balancer FQDN.





 Your instructions say to order the IBM Cloud Load Balancer before I cancel the Local Load Balancer. Is there any impact to my system or workload while I configure the two devices? 

No, Cloud Load Balancer and the Local Load Balancer are two separate offerings that work independently.





 I used to choose a "connections per second" option with my Local Load Balancer. Do I also have to configure this with the Cloud Load Balancer? 

No. IBM Cloud Load Balancer automatically adjusts its load capacity. You can read more about this in the topic [Cloud Load Balancer Horizontal Scaling](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/loadbalancer-service?topic=loadbalancer-service-ibm-cloud-load-balancer-basicshorizontal-scaling).





 What protocols can I choose when using the Cloud Load Balancer? 

You can choose HTTP, HTTPS, and TCP protocols. IBM also offers layer 7 support.

 tableTransformer 

A table transformer is a function that is applied to the input data set before it is sent to the actual SQL query compilation and execution.

You can wrap your external table definition optionally with the FLATTEN table transformation function. It preprocesses your input table before query compilation to a fully flat column schema. This table transformation function can be useful when you have hierarchical input data as it is often found in JSON documents. By using FLATTEN, you do not need to dereference all nested columns explicitly in your SQL statement.

For example, you can run a simple SELECT * FROM FLATTEN(cos://us-geo/sql/iotmessages STORED AS JSON) on a flattened JSON input and use CSV output to easily browse a sample of your JSON input data.

The FLATTEN table transformation function creates a flat list of columns by concatenating all nested column names with _. You can optionally also combine FLATTEN with CLEANCOLS.

You can wrap your external table definition optionally with the CLEANCOLS table transformation function. It preprocesses your input table before query compilation by renaming all columns that have characters that are NOT supported by certain target formats, such as Parquet. These characters are ,, ;, ,,,, =, (, ), {, and }. They are replaced by the corresponding URL-encoded representation, for example, %20 for space (). With this function, you can write results, for example, into Parquet, without the need to provide column by column alias names in your SQL when your input data has columns with these characters. A typical situation is the existence of space () in input columns.

For example, you can use SELECT * FROM CLEANCOLS(cos://us-geo/sql/iotmessages STORED AS JSON) INTO cos://us-geo/mybucket/myprefix STORED AS PARQUET to produce a result set that can be stored as is into Parquet target format.
Importing APIs 

You can use a OpenAPI definition file to add a REST API in the Lite, Enterprise, and Hybrid plans.



 Prerequisites 

Before you begin, ensure that your file conforms to version 2.0 of the OpenAPI specification. The format of the file can be JSON or YAML.

To add a REST API by loading a OpenAPI (Swagger) file, complete the following steps:



1. In the API Manager UI navigation list, click Drafts, then click APIs. The APIs tab opens.
2. Click + Add and then select Swagger 2.0 (Swagger) from the Import section. The Import Swagger API window opens.
3. Optional: To upload a file from your local file system, click Select file and, in your file system, select the file that you want to use. .json, .yml, and .yaml files are supported if they contain a valid OpenAPI definition.
4. Optional: To upload a file from a URL, click Or import from URL and then provide the correct URL in the URL field that is presented. If authentication is required to access the URL, provide a user name and password. .json, .yml, and .yaml files are supported if they contain a valid OpenAPI definition.
5. Click Import. A new REST API definition is created, including Paths and HTTP operations.



When the API definition has been imported, it is shown in the list of API definitions in the APIs tab of the Drafts page. Next, you can edit your API definition as you would any other REST API definition.





 Importing APIs from IBM Integration Bus 

Import REST APIs that you create with IBM Integration Bus into IBM® API Connect for IBM Cloud®, which makes it easier to manage and publish them.

Before you begin, ensure that your REST API file conforms to version 2.0 of the OpenAPI specification. The format of the file can be JSON or YAML.
After an organization is added to the consortium, the organization can use the ordering service to create a new channel or can be added to an existing channel. The information that allows you to participate in a channel, such as joining your peers to the channel, instantiating smart contracts, and submitting transactions, is provided by using the MSP definitions.

After your organization is added to a consortium, you can create a channel by using the following steps:



1. Import the ordering service that hosts the consortium into your console. You do not need to be an administrator of the ordering service; but you need to provide the ordering node name and endpoint information in your console.
2. Import the MSPs of organizations that you want to add to the new channel into your console in the Organizations tab. Note that organizations need to be added to the consortium before they can be added to a channel.
3. Navigate to the Channels tab and click Create channel. This opens a side panel that allows you to specify the channel name, membership, and channel policies. You can add any organizations that were added to the consortium to the new channel.



For more information about these steps, see [creating a channel](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/blockchain?topic=blockchain-ibp-console-build-networkibp-console-build-network-create-channel1) in the Build a network tutorial.



 Updating an MSP in a channel definition 

Over time you might need to update the certificates in an MSP definition that is already associated with a channel. When that situation occurs follow these steps to update an organization's MSP definition in the channel:



1. Navigate to the Channels tab in your console.
2. Click the channel that contains the organization MSP that you want to update and open it.
3. Click the Channel details tab.
4. Click the associated channel member's tile that you want to update.
5. If you have not already imported the updated MSP definition into the console, you can upload the file here. Note: This action will not update the associated MSP definition in the Organizations tab.
--var-file or -vf Optional Path to variables definition file that are ending with .tfvars or .json. This flag can be used multiple times. 
 --json or -j Deprecated Prints the output in the JSON format. Use --output JSON instead. 
 --output or -o Optional Returns the command-line output in JSON format. Currently only JSON file format is supported. 



Example

ibmcloud schematics plan --id myworkspace-a1aa1a1a-a11a-11 --json
