  • 1.  AXA- Different JS Browser Agents

    Posted Jul 24, 2018 01:40 PM
    I'm installing an isolated DXC and I was wondering if any of you could answer whether if it is better to point directly to dxc JS
    http://<..>/mdo/v1/sdks/browser/BA.js" or to point to
    https://<..>/api/1/urn:ca:tenantId:DEFAULTORG/urn:ca:appId:web_teste/profile?agent=browser" data-tenantID="DEFAULTORG" data-appID="web_teste" data-appKey="a04f03a0-83cc-11e8-a4a7-eb289434d14f" ~

    Because from what i see they're different , and by looking at the doc on isolated DXC it points to the first one, although when I see doc on AXA it points to the second one.
    Can someone clear me this out? Is it the same?
    Best Regards

    DXC can be used with AXA or without AXA (eg. for APM browser agent).

     

    If you are using AXA, I would recommend the second one.

    Yes in general it is best to use the default snippet from the DXC file default.basnippet:

    Thanks for your help guys, is it possible to make this variables defined in the snippet, dynamic ?So the development team doesn't need to upgrade each time an end-point is changed.

    Hi Tiago,

    With regard to your original question I think your confusion was maybe due to you mixing up the setup of the DXC-AXA integration with the Browser Agent snippet used for the DXC-APM agent integration/connection.

    i.e. you found ""http://apm-axa-integration:9080/mdo/v1/sdks/browser/BA.js"" referenced here under "Integrate CA APM and CA App Experience Analytics" which is really referring to how to integrate DXC with AXA:

    Install the Digital Experience Collector on a Single System - CA Experience Collector - CA Technologies Documentation 

     

    For your question about using variables in the snippet I don't believe that is possible. However I found in my testing that you can update the snippet file without agent/AppServer restart if you first disable the autoinjection in the agent profile i.e.

    Change: introscope.agent.browseragent.autoInjectionEnabled=true

    To: introscope.agent.browseragent.autoInjectionEnabled=false

    Update the snippet file and then revert above to true i.e.

    introscope.agent.browseragent.autoInjectionEnabled=true

    The agent log (INFO mode) will show the changes

     

    Hope that helps

     

    Regards,

    Thanks Lynn, what I meant was if develop team needs to wrap an apk and inject with that snippet, then if the endpoint changes they need to wrap it up again right?

    Thanks Francis
    What I am trying to explain is that whenever we want to create a new app we have to wrap it or inject snippet (web app). The thing is that we are obligated to point to this url as AXA suggests?

    agent=browser src="http://axa.cqgrupocgd.com/mdo/v1/sdks/browser/BA.js" (as seen this url comes from database- only way to change it is changing endpoint in data base)

    or can we change this to go to this dynamic endpoint:

    agent=browser src="https://app.<appname>.cqcgd.pt/api/1/urn:ca:tenantId:DEFAULTORG/urn:ca:appId:web_teste/bajs?

    I have not seen an example where dynamic endpoint has been used.  In the examples documented, a static path is used:
