Unit 1: Preparing Industry Application Common Building Blocks


Before using EnOS Industry Application Common Building Blocks (CBBs) to create applications, you need to obtain and authorize the required CBBs in EnOS Management Console and ensure that the obtained CBBs can normally access menus, functions, and data in EnOS.

Before You Start


Before start, application creators need to ensure:

  • Your accounts have been assigned the required permissions. If not assigned, contact the application administrator.
  • You have contacted the system administrator to obtain the access keys of the required CBBs.

Task 1: Obtaining CBBs

You can obtain CBBs as needed to use the accumulated general capabilities for quickly building applications. For more information about available CBBs, see Industry Application Common Building Blocks.

Procedure


  1. Log in to EnOS Management Console, and select Application Registration in the left navigation bar.
  2. Select the Obtained tab and click Obtain Application.
  3. Enter the access key of a required CBB in the pop-up window and click Search.

Performed By Performed In
Application Creator EnOS Management Console


EnOS controls the resources that an application can access by assigning policies to it. After CBBs are obtained, you need to assign policies to the CBBs to ensure that they can normally access menus, functions, and data. For more information, see Policies.

Procedure


  1. Select Identity and Authorization > Service Account in the left navigation bar of EnOS Management Console. The CBBs obtained in the previous task are displayed in the list.
  2. Click Authorize btn_auth in the row where the CBB is located to enter the Authorize page.
  3. Select the Policies tab, and click Assign Policies.
  4. The policy list in the pop-up window displays the available built-in policies and custom policies. Click the plus btn_add icon to add the required policies and click Save. It is recommended that you add all Built-in policies.
  5. Click Save on the Authorize page.

Results


All authorized CBBs have the access to corresponding resources on EnOS.

Task 3: Enabling CBBs

Application Creator EnOS Application Portal


The CBBs obtained in EnOS Management Console will be automatically synchronized to Admin Console of EnOS Application Portal. You need to enable all CBBs before they can be accessed in the application list of EnOS Application Portal.

Procedure


  1. Log in to EnOS Application Portal, and select Admin Console > Application Management.
  2. Hover over the ellipsis icon (…) corresponding to the CBB and select Manage.
  3. Select the Enable Application and Display Application on Navigation Pane checkboxes in the Application Settings section.

EnOS Application Portal supports applications to obtain information and perform operations through APIs. You need to authorize API permissions to CBBs to ensure they have access to the required information and operations during application building.

Procedure


  1. Select Application Management in the left navigation bar of Admin Console in EnOS Application Portal.
  2. Hover over the ellipsis icon (…) corresponding to the CBB and select API Authorization.
  3. Check the required APIs and select Submit. Contact the system administrator for the API permissions required for each CBB.

Results


After the authorization is completed, the CBBs can obtain the information in the current OU and perform operations through APIs.
