Resolving Missing Activities and Triggers

When you import an app that contains one or more activities or triggers that are not installed in your environment, you see a warning in the Import App dialog.

Note: When importing an app that has a connection configured in it, but the connector is not installed in your environment, after you install the connector, the connection configuration field values of type SECRETS are retained postinstallation as long as they were not configured using app properties. If you had configured your SECRETS as app properties, reconfigure them after installing the missing connector. This is because all configured app properties are wiped out when the app is imported.

To resolve missing activities or triggers for TIBCO provided connectors

When an Activity or trigger used in an app being imported is missing from your Flogo Enterprise environment, the flows in the app get imported, but you see a warning in the Import App dialog.

When you validate your app by clicking Validate in the app details dialog, you see an error marker () next to the flow name. This indicates that one or more activities or triggers are missing. The number next to it indicates how many activities or triggers that are missing appear in the flow. When you click the missing activities or triggers, you are prompted to refer to the connector installation guide.

Note: Do not upload a TIBCO connector using Upload Extension. For more information on how to install a TIBCO connector, refer to the connector installation guide.

This is also true when you copy an app into the designated folder (the folder you specified when you started the UI) for your apps on your local machine.

To resolve missing custom activities or triggers

When one or more of your custom activities or triggers used in the app being imported are missing from your Flogo Enterprise installation, you see a warning in your Import App dialog similar to the following:

Once the app is imported, you see an error marker () next to the flow name. After you install the missing Activity or trigger, this marker goes away. The number next to the error indicates how many activities or triggers are missing in the flow.

To install the missing custom activities or triggers:

  1. Click the flow name to open the flow details page. The Upload an extension dialog opens. You can upload the custom Activity or trigger from the Git repository, hence only the From Git repository option is enabled.
  2. Click From Git repository. The Git repository URL text box is pre-populated.
  3. Click Import. Flogo Enterprise downloads the Activity or trigger from the Git repository and uploads it on your Extensions tab. Refer to the section, Uploading Extensions for details on this option.
