Bluemix Blockchain - ibm-cloud

Facing below error for quite a long time today. Is this frequent?
We are trying to run a sample app locally [connecting to bluemix blockchain]
Also tried to install/deploy directly into blockchain.
Both results in same error on login page itself. Also gets ERR 500/
Waiting on the node server to open up so we can talk to the blockchain. This app is likely still starting up. Check the server logs if this message does not go away in 1 minute.
This application cannot run without the blockchain network :(

The "starter network" blockchain has been experiencing intermittent capacity overflow issues. We currently have availability; have you tried this recently? Try again andlet us know if you get the same error. If yes, please open a support service ticket via Bluemix dashboard.
Hope this helps, and thanks for using blockchain!

Gateway Timeout when accessing Bluemix WEB IDE/Node.js logs

I am using Web IDE and want to see the log by clicking on the arrow.I can only see an empty "Untitled" page. The Node.js app is running normally. Live edit is switch off.
After some minutes:
Gateway Timeout
The proxy server did not receive a timely response from the upstream server.
Reference #1.45bf1402.1511018717.3dddb8b
I'm not for sure what Web IDE you are referring to. The only one I'm aware of is the DevOps (which works for me below):
It seems to me like this error that you posted would indicate a temporary outage. Is it still an issue?
In any case, I would advise opening a support ticket if you encounter this issue again (more details about your account would help). I think the Bluemix proxy will time out requests if they take too long.

node-red redeploy flow using REST from within node-red

I have a node-red flow in bluemix that uses dash-db nodes also. So each time some dash db maintenance or some other reason, this db connection gets lost and all writes fail. When i redeploy, everything is fine again. Bluemix shows only logs of last few hours hence I am finding it very difficult to debug. Meanwhile i was thinking of doing an automatic redeploy after i detect this issue to avoid losing writes.
Can this be done using GET /flows followed by POST /flows in the same node-red app itself?
it would be worth raising this as an issue with the dash-db nodes so the author can help address it - https://github.com/smchamberlin/node-red-nodes-cf-sqldb-dashdb
Yes, you can post back the flows. The full admin http api is documented here: http://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/ - have a look at the 'reload' option on /flows.

dashDB Launch Server Error

I have added a dashDB to my app and restaged as required. Unfortunately, when I select the Launch button I get a Server Error 500 page. In the Details I get the following:

It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Which I can't decipher.
I read in this forum where one can login using the details from the VCAP_VARIABLES which I was able to do successfully. Interestingly I have annother app on bluemix that also has a dashdb that was accessible but now isn't.
I have dropped the dashDB a couple of times and also created it but left it unbound all for no joy.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
It looks like a bluemix problem as the dashdb is working fine from the Launch button and I can see the data I loaded when I logged in via the vcap variables.

error opening dashDB

After I have added a service dashDB to my Bluemix application and I click on it, I got in IE11 this message:
The website declined to show this webpage
HTTP 403
When I did the same in the Google crome I got a square head which looked sad.
Does anyone know what to do?
Thank you!
There is not much information to go but I would suggest the following to narrow down the cause of the problem or resolve the issue:
- verify that service has been provisioned successfully (unless it's an existing instance that is known to work in the past)
- clear browser cache/restart to eliminate any transient issues
- BlueMix status page (https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/support/#status) is currently reporting some authentication issues which potentially could cause problem, it should be check if the 403 error is still reported after the problem is resolved.
It might be worth to create the service with the "leave unbound" option and try to click on it. After you could bind it to your app.
You can verify if the dashDB instance is up or not by accessing the https_url from the VCAP variable associated with the dashDB instance (for e.g.: https://bluemix05.bluforcloud.com:8443) and provide your username and password (also from the VCAP variable) for that instance and see if you can log in.

Bluemix Node-Red

I am a newbie to Bluemix and Node Red (even stackoverflow). I have tried to create an app in Bluemix using the Node Red and IOT Foundation starter, but neither creates the app. The error message is:
BXNUI2028E: Cloud Foundry issued an unexpected exception with the following
message: "Read timed out" See the Troubleshooting topics in the IBM Bluemix
Documentation to check service status, review troubleshooting information,
or for information about getting help.
I searched stackoverflow and this problem is mentioned, but is reported as fixed a few days ago. Help is appreciated.
not sure if your case could be similar to this one
https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/164719/bxnui2028e-cloud-foundry-issued-an-unprocessed-exc.html
if not I would suggest to open a ticket to Bluemix Support(see the Support tab inside the Bluemix Console) attaching the log as indicated here:

I hope this helps.
