Need information on how to make use of Kinvey Flex SDK to remove the server less architecture. Any help is appreciated. 

Pranav,

I tried logging the details, I do not get any errors. It always gets deployed as an FSR to a collection, but I am not able to see any output there in the collection. By output, I mean any service object getting created.

I am not into any proxies too. Is there any specific solution for this? If I use a mac, I am able to see service objects successfully using the same exact commands.

Thanks

Suraj

Hi Pranav,

Apologies to keep asking after every hurdles. I am getting something like below while deploying my Flex code,

Could you help me with this also?

Thanks

Hi Pranav,

Thank you so much for this particular answer. This saved my day.

I was initially using "kinvey config --host https://fi-us1-console.kinvey.com" and not "kinvey config --host https://fi-us1-manage.kinvey.com". I rectified this one. Will let you know if I face any other issues.

Thanks

Suraj

Pranav,

Do we need to give some special access in the kinvey console account in order to config the Kinve CLI locally? 

Hi Pranav,

Now, I was able to login using the credentials to https://manage.kinvey.com. It asked whether I wanted to access the below,

1. apps

2. organization.

When I selected "apps", I was displayed a set of applications which I have created in https://console.kinvey.com/.

I have my Flex service in a different host URL provided by kinvey. Is there a command to access the application in that host. 

The other host URl would be from my project, something like "https://*****.console.kinvey.com/".

Regards

Suraj

Hi Pranav,

I am afraid, I am not able to login using y credentials through the command kinvey config --host https://manage.kinvey.com. It shows "warning: Invalid credentials, please authenticate". They are the credentials with which I generally login to Kinvey console.

Is there any other way that includes creating separate credentials for Kinvey CLI.

One more thing, we can access kinvey CLIs command prompt through the normal Node JS command prompt right? 

Thanks

Suraj

Hi Pranav,

Thanks for the prompt reply. But I have still got doubt on how to link my Node JS service code to the service Object in Kinvey FSR. The documentation does not provide information on that. What I understood so far is,

1. We need to create a service in Node JS which will be hosted in Kinvey as a collection having service type as Flex Internal Service,

2. We need to create the service object in the service linked with the Node JS service.

3. Through Kinvey CLI commands, we need to activate the Flex service, this would be deploying the code in Kinveys server.

4. Using kinvey console, we can access the code's output using GET or POST request.

I need to know how to link the service file with the Kinvey Flex service catalog. 

Thanks

Suraj

Hi there,

Could anyone tell me how to create a service object for a Flex service in service catalog of Kinvey, while creating service type for the Collections in Kinvey?

Thanks

Hi,

Also when I created a collection in Kinvey and tried to create a Flex service through service catalog. I am getting the attached error also. Please help me with this.
