how to disable flow service source code

hi all,

I need to disable the flow service source code not to view by others i have tried with below possiblities which i can but it is hidding to view the source code in another IS and suggest me right way to do.

  1. I have created the flow service and I have created the new ACL Security–>ACL’s i.e ‘CCS ACL’ and created new Group “CCS Group”, assigned to the ‘CCS ACL’

  2. In flow service under Permissions Property i have assigned the ‘CCS ACL’ to Read ACL,Write ACL.

3.i have created Archive of the package of flow service and installed on the other integration server

  1. in new IS ,i didnot see souce code of flow service initially becz it didnot have ‘CCS ACL’ in ACL’s

for testing i have done below steps in new IS
1.i have created ‘CCS ACL’ in new IS and assigned group to it
i opened the flow service here i can see the source code becz now it has ‘CCS ACL’ in new IS

please any one help me to hide source code of flow service if i deploy the package in another IS

for java service if i remove java.frag file from <Web_IS>/IntegrationServer\packages<projectpckge>\ns\sampleJavaservice i think we can hide source code not to visible. am i right if not please tell me to hide the source code for java services also.

idea:we have created the product on policies and claims using WM Integrations, we need to deploy all our packages and processes at our customer place, here need to hide the source codes at our customer webMethods environmet.

please any one help me how to do this.

For the Java services, when you export the package from IS → Packages → Management , in the export Window select option:

Files to include → All except files specified by filter: *.java
When you import this in a new IS source is not available (This is same as delete .java fragment as you did).

For flow services, you can do this (but I think is not supported hehe):

Edit IntegrationServer/config/acl*

Search for example “pub” and “pub.client”, append after definitions for “pub” end your package namespace, replicating same structure and permissions.

Reboot IS and that should do… if you run into problems restore all acl*.cnf files :smiley:

Thanks for reply i have tested with entries in aclwrite.cnf and aclread.cnf with following tag CCS in bothe *.cnf files, i face same problem in Other IS Sever

problems

1.After deployment of this flow service in other server if other server has ACL of CCS ACL assigned with some other groups i can see the flow service source code in deployed integration server.

i have requirement need to hide the source code of flow service like java services (select All except files specified by filter *.class: in deployement management–>packages–>archieve as you said in previous reply)if i deploy the flow services in another integration server i need same functionality to hide the source code , so that our customers never see the source code of the flow service what logic inside.

problem of flowservice with read ACL and Write ACL permission

in flow services if assign read Acl and write ACL to the custome ACL Like “CCS ACL”

if i deploy the these flow services in new integration server,initially source code is not visable becz “CCS ACL” not in the new Integration server

if i create the CCS ACL In the new Integration server assigned with our own groups,my customers can see the logic inside of the flow service and they can understand my policy or claim logic inside of processes and they can edit themself and modify themself as per they future requiremet without consulting us

i need the way to hide the flow services and java services etc… services which i develop in webMethods product, please suggest me on this.

as you reply , i understood it is not possible to hide logic of flow service like java services,is any other way to hide logic of flow services in other integration server (not with functionality of read ACLs and write ACL’s)

Not at all. Flow logic is stored in node.ndf files, if moved to another IS and change proper permissions they will show up.

Delete .java files doesn’t make much sense either, as you can decompile them ( I use this tool [url]http://java.decompiler.free.fr/[/url] and is great).

webMethods does not even ofuscate their Java code, so I understand your worries however, any developer with curiosity will be able to display your code.

But indeed, I like it’s like this :smiley:

o.k, i got u…
