Hey Monika,
that’s a very good question. If you would like to exchange data with an officially released Siemens app (e.g. databus) your custom application needs to be in the right virtual docker network.
The virtual network name which need to be used is called proxy-redirect.
You need to add this to your docker-compose file (or add it via the IE Publisher) and assign it to your service.
Once your application is in this network it can communication to e.g databus application.
Please see below an example docker-compose file.
version: '2.4'
services:
pingpong_nodejs:
build:
context: ./src
image: pingpong_nodejs:1.2.0
networks:
- proxy-redirect
mem_limit: 100mb
volumes:
- './publish/:/publish/'
- './cfg-data/:/cfg-data/'
networks:
proxy-redirect:
external:
name: proxy-redirect
Please feel free to check the following Github Example as well, which introduces a simple example how to access the Databus via your custom application: https://github.com/industrial-edge/pingpong-nodejs
