retail_demo notebook 404: Not found in Win10

[imavo]

Bare metal machine, booted to Win10(1809), docker desktop 2.1.0.1 (10 cores 99gig ram allocated to docker-desktop, docker engine is 19.03.1).

I installed IBM Db2 Event Store developer edition 1.1.4 for windows as administrator.

When it started I copied the retail demo jupiter notebook.

But when I open that notebook it shows "404: Not found You are requesting a page that does not exist".

In the log file (es_desktop.log) I see the message, below although I don't know if it's the cause of the issue, as this message appears before other normal looking progress messages show show me copying the notebook and opening it:

exec error: Error: Command failed: docker network create -d bridge --subnet 173.19.0.0/9 dsx-net
Error response from daemon: network with name dsx-net already exists

And if I run docker network ls in a cmd window, I can see that network bridge exists
Same symptom if I disable Windows Firewall.

Any suggestions for how to get the jupyter-notebook to operate?

Hi, the Event Store team is currently investigating this problem.

[esaad]

Update: engineering team has been able to reproduce the problem and are looking into a fix.

@imavo @JosefPokorny -
Upon investigation we found that we hit 404 Not found when C drive is not part of the Shared drive list in docker daemon settings.

Can you please try the following:

1. Close IBM Db2 Event Store - Developer Edition

2. Right click on docker icon in system tray
   

3. Click Settings

4. Ensure C drive is shared with docker daemon

5. Save and apply the changes which will restart the docker daemon
6. Start IBM Db2 Event Store - Developer Edition and try again

Thanks!

I've tried to follow the Instructions but Shared Drive not there.

@oorlando21 - Are you able to share the following details?

1. Operating System & Version (Windows <10>/Linux )
2. Docker Desktop version

On Windows 10, the Docker Desktop CE version we verified this on is: 2.1.0.1 (37199)

@esaad . I explicitly do not want to use C: for docker (because it is a small slow spinning disk), instead I configured docker to use D: and E: which are larger NVME disks.
Can you explain which component is insisting on using C: drive?
Is that possible to change?
If not, that seems an unsatisfactory workaround.

However, if I do set C: to be allowed as a docker container shared drive, then the behaviour changes, although still looks incorrect.

If I allow C: driver to be a shared disk for docker containers, the copy of the notebook seems to hang on the first executable step ("Event Table: creating..." Ingest Status: Inactive, and the tickbox below clicked to "on", and the "Rows per second" never populates.) The rows per batch is default at 1000. This does not seem like correct behaviour.

@imavo - Unfortunately the Developer Edition is unable to pick anything other than C drive. We require these for notebooks as well as some other internal components. Please note that the Developer Edition is solely for trying out the product. If you are looking to do some performance benchmarking using the Developer Edition, we would advise against that.

Can you share with us, your use case for Db2 Event Store? I can connect you to our team experts who should be able to provide you a demo system with full product deployment based on your use case.

On a side note, have you tried the Introduction to IBM Db2 Event Store Scala API and/or Introduction to IBM Db2 Event Store Python API notebooks?

I'm just learning about this toolset, trying it out. I'm not benchmarking.

I've activated the use of C: shared drive in docker-desktop, but still blocked for the retail_demo notebook.

I'm puzzled why the retail demo notebook still will not operate on either Windows-10 or Linux for me (and there's no error in the es_desktop.log), both operating systems appearing to hang at the same step (Event Table: creating...).

My assumption is that if IBM puts up a notebook demo on github that the demo should 'just work' or document any restrictions that might exist, or give clear errors when something is wrong. But it just hangs, and the workstation has plenty of resources.

I will look at the other notebooks that you mention, but in the meanwhile it would be helpful if you could provide suggestions as to where I might look to investigate the behaviour what I observe with the retail_demo notebook .
