Using Bridge with Multiple-Orgs

Currently Bridge can only act on behalf of a single Organization at a time, however it is possible to run multiple instances of Bridge on a server. To do so, we'll have to make some modifications to the system configuration.

Assumptions:

• Linux/Ubuntu 14.04
• Organization #1: RobotOrg
• Organization #2: HumanOrg

Step 1 - Select RobotOrg in Mode and follow the normal Add-Data flow for a Data Source on a private network.

Step 2 - Next we'll want to make some changes to the system:

  A. sudo stop mode-bridge
  B. sudo mv /opt/mode/bridge/conf/bridge.json /opt/mode/bridge/config/bridge-robot-org.json
  C. sudo mv /etc/init/mode-bridge.conf /etc/init/mode-bridge-robot-org.conf
  D. Edit /etc/init/mode-bridge-robot-org.conf to reflect these changes:
     - from: description "mode-bridge"
         to: description "mode-bridge-robot-org"
                                     ^^^^^^^^^^
     - from: exec line from: exec /opt/mode/bridge/bin/mode-bridge -config /opt/mode/bridge/conf/bridge.json >> /opt/mode/bridge/log/bridge.log 2>&1
         to: exec line from: exec /opt/mode/bridge/bin/mode-bridge -config /opt/mode/bridge/conf/bridge-robot-org.json >> /opt/mode/bridge/log/bridge-robot-org.log 2>&1                                                                                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                
   E. sudo start mode-bridge-robot-org
   F. The first bridge is now running.

Step 3: - Select HumanOrg in Mode and run just the last command. That's the one with -init.

Step 4: Next we'll want to make some changes to the system similar to in Step 2:

  A. sudo stop mode-bridge
  B. sudo mv /opt/mode/bridge/conf/bridge.json /opt/mode/bridge/config/bridge-human-org.json
  C. sudo mv /etc/init/mode-bridge.conf /etc/init/mode-bridge-human-org.conf
  D. Edit /etc/init/mode-bridge-human-org.conf to reflect these changes:
     - from: description "mode-bridge"
         to: description "mode-bridge-human-org"
                                     ^^^^^^^^^^
     - from: exec line from: exec /opt/mode/bridge/bin/mode-bridge -config /opt/mode/bridge/conf/bridge.json >> /opt/mode/bridge/log/bridge.log 2>&1
         to: exec line from: exec /opt/mode/bridge/bin/mode-bridge -config /opt/mode/bridge/conf/bridge-human-org.json >> /opt/mode/bridge/log/bridge-human-org.log 2>&1                                                                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   E. sudo start mode-bridge-robot-org
   F. The second bridge is now running.

Repeat as needed for additional Orgs.
