Manage Solr Data in WSO2 Server

Recently I was checking an issue faced by one of my colleague while automating WSO2 API Manager deployment. There, once the new pack is deployed by pointing to the existing databases, APIM Store didn't show existing APIs at once. It took some time to display all the existing APIs in the Store.

The APIs are retrieved using the Solr based indexing in APIM. Therefore, the main reason for this behavior is that a fresh pack doesn't have existing Solr data and it takes some time to complete the indexing. Until that indexing process is completed, it will not show API in the Store instantly.

To address this, you can follow one of the below approaches:

1). Backup existing Solr data (APIM_HOME/solr/data) from the existing deployment and added it to newly created pack.


2). Externalize Solr data directory. Solr data stored location can be configured via core.properties file located in the APIM_HOME/repository/conf/solr/registry-indexing directory. So you can update core.properties to store Solr data outside the product directory.

XSLT - Modify Date and DateTime value

If you want to perform date and time related opertions with XSLT 'date' or 'dateTime' values, you can use 'xs:yearMonthDuration' or 'xs:dayTimeDuration' function to achieve this. You can add or reduce years, months, date, hours or even minutes through those functions.  xs:yearMonthDuration For this function input value is year month duration and it should be passed in  ISO_8601 format n- the [n] is replaced by the value for each of the date and time elements P - The duration designator(for period). nY- the number of years. nM- the number of months. ex: xs:yearMonthDuration('P1Y2M') - 1 Year and 2 Months ex:  xs:yearMonthDuration('-P1Y2M')  - Negative 1 Year and 2 Months xs:dayTimeDuration For this function input value is day time duration and it also needs to be passed in  ISO_8601 format n- the [n] is replaced by the value for each of the date and time elements P - The duration designator(for period). nD- the

Integrate With Mutual Certificate Authentication based Service

There are many ways to secure a Service/API using different Authentication mechanisms. Mutual Certificate authentication(AKA: Client Certificate Authentication) is one of the ways to secure Service or API. Recently I was trying to integrate with an API which is secured using Mutual Certificate Authentication. In this scenario, the backend service team gave me their certificate-based on PKCS#12. When integrating this backend system with WSO2 Platform, we have to use 'Multi-HTTPS transport'. With this 'Multi-HTTPS transport', it will grant great flexibility to define different SSL profiles with separate trust stores and key stores for different IPs or hosts. This custom SSL profile can be implemented for Client to Synapse Runtime(Client --> ESB) or Synapse Runtime to Backend(ESB --> Backend). If it is Client to ESB, then you have to define custom SSL Profiles in the transportReceiver section. In my use-case, it was for ESB to Backend. So I had to add custom SSL prof
