Connect to the Quantum Fabric Console

 

From Quantum Visualizer you can access features of the Quantum Fabric Console and use them in your application. These features include Identity, for authenticating users from different types of identity providers; Integration, for defining and configuring services; Orchestration, for leveraging the integration services you've created to create a composite service of concurrent, sequential, or looped integrated services; Synchronization, for configuring sync services to your app for backend data, thus enabling offline functionality; and Engagement Services, for configuring notifications.

This procedure assumes that you have a Quantum user account. If you do not, you can create one at the Quantum Cloud Registration site.

IMPORTANT: If you are not able to get beyond the login page for the Quantum Fabric Console, it may be that you set up Quantum Fabric using a self-signed certificate that made it possible to install Quantum Fabric, but which Windows and Google Chrome does not trust to allow you to log in. To resolve this, locate the certificate (you may need to contact your system administrator to do so), and then import it into the Windows Certificate Store, into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder. Or you can import the certificate into the Java trust store in Quantum Visualizer, which is in the following location:
C:\KonyVisualizerEnterpriseX.X.X\Kony_Visualizer_Enterprise\jre\lib\security\cacerts
For more information on how to import a certificate into the Windows Store, see Import or export certificates and private keys on the Microsoft web site.

To connect to the Quantum Fabric Console, do the following: 

  1. If you have not yet configured Quantum Fabric in Quantum Visualizer, on the Window menu, click Preferences.
  2. From the navigation pane on the left, double-click Quantum Visualizer to display its options, and then click Quantum Fabric.
  3. In the Quantum Fabric URL text box, enter the base URL for your Quantum Fabric account, and then click Validate. For example:
    https://manage.kony.com
  4. Once the Quantum Fabric URL is validated, click OK.
  5. Now that Quantum Fabric is configured in Quantum Visualizer, and if you have not done so already, you need to log in to your Quantum account so that you can access the Quantum Fabric resources from Quantum Visualizer. To do so, in the top right corner of the Quantum Visualizer window, click Login. The Quantum Account sign-in window opens.
  6. Enter your email and password credentials for your Quantum user account, and then click Sign in. Once you are signed in, Quantum Visualizer has access to your Quantum Fabric apps and services.
  7. To close the Quantum Fabric Console and return to the panes, views, and tabs of the Quantum Visualizer integrated development environment (IDE), from the Quick Launch Bar along the upper left edge of Quantum Visualizer, click the Workspace icon . Since you are still logged in to your Quantum account, Quantum Visualizer continues to have access to your Quantum Fabric services.
  8. With a Quantum account, you can be a member of multiple clouds. When you log on to your Quantum account, Quantum Visualizer defaults to one of those clouds. Any cloud that you are working in has to have at least one Quantum Fabric environment associated with it. If the cloud does not have a Quantum Fabric environment, the cloud icon in the status bar contains a warning symbol.

    9. If you know that you have access to another cloud that has a Quantum Fabric environment, you can select it instead. To do so, on the File menu, click Settings. Click the Quantum Fabric Details tab, and then from the Cloud Account drop-down list, select a cloud that you know has a Quantum Fabric environment. You can then select the environment you want from the Quantum Fabric Environment drop-down list (if only one environment is available, Quantum Visualizer defaults to it). Click Finish. The status bar indicates that you are attached to a cloud with a Quantum Fabric environment. For more information, see Environments in the Quantum Fabric Console User Guide.
