Hi Yuval,

For tokens, please look at the Fabric Token-SDK: https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/fabric-token-sdk

Let me know what do you think :)

Best,

I'd add native token support (FabToken)

Re: [fabric-gateway] Is next dev release upcoming?

Mark Lewis

#10366

it seems that at some point (maybe when we declared a first beta, or maybe just when the automated publishing was being put in place?) a package published to npm got tagged "latest". Which is fine as there needs to be a "latest" version. The problem is that since then, packages have all been published with the "unstable" tag and "latest" was never updated. So, until we can fix this, use 'npm install fabric-gateway@unstable' to pick up fabric-gateway packages. I'll raise an issue to fix this.

[fabric-gateway] Is next dev release upcoming?

david liu <david-khala@...>

#10364

Hi fabric-gateway release managers,

The latest npm development release happened from 6 months ago.

```
0.1.1-dev.20210325.1.0
```

We see a lot of desired updates from then. So I wonder can we have a new dev release recently?

Thanks

Error: error sending transaction for invoke: got unexpected status: NOT_FOUND -- channel does not exist #fabric #channel #fabric-peer

earl1a@...

#10363

I recently deployed my test network on Kubernetes. It was working well but one day it just started encountering an error when invoking a transaction:
`Error: error sending transaction for invoke: got unexpected status: NOT_FOUND -- channel does not exist - proposal response: version:1 response:<status:200 > payload: ...`.

Running `peer channel list`, `peer channel getinfo -c mychannel`, `peer lifecycle chaincode queryinstalled`, `peer lifecycle chaincode querycommitted -C mychannel` all seem to be returning expected output.

I would appreciate any help on this. Thank you.

Re: Command line to query chaincode data?

Julian Castrence

#10362

One of the major tenets of Fabric architecture is that only chaincode should have direct access to the blockchain. If we allow the blockchain to be accessed by the application directly, that defeats the whole purpose of membership on a private and permissioned blockchain. To use web app architecture as an analogy, you wouldn't let the client talk directly with the database right? Better to let the server handle requests from the client and access the database. This is the role of chaincode. If the chaincode is poorly written, there's not much you can do but improve it. An application should never have the ability to read or write data directly to the blockchain.

Without knowing the full picture of your situation, you may find this helpful. There's a way to at least view the functions available within a chaincode.

I'll add node configuration to the list.

No need to vote now by mail... once we settle on a list I'll put out a survey so that we can gather community rankings, probably next week.

Re: Fabric strategic priorities

#10360

One potential item is to get and set the node configuration at runtime, which helps a lot in monitoring and debugging.

And about the priority, I would like to vote BFT and ledger pruning as top two.

Thanks!

- Replace goleveldb with a more modern key/value embedded database with better performance characteristics.

- Queryability options - We continue to see requests for additional ledger query options, and could consider query language support in peer on top of the embedded key/value state store, versus using a queryable external database (CouchDB or otherwise).

- Pruning old blocks from peer and orderer to alleviate concerns around long term storage growth

- Performance improvements - refactor peer validation/commit logic and private data handling to alleviate known performance bottlenecks

The SmartBFT fork is indeed a great starting point but on an out-of-date version of Fabric. Fabric maintainers provided feedback in the SmartBFT RFC https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-rfcs/pull/33 related to how to bring SmartBFT to mainline Fabric in a maintainable way. It would be great to pick up the conversation in the RFC and check the progress from the contributing team.

Calling chaincode to chaincode in hlf -2.2 external chaincode service

Chinmay Sahoo

#10355

Hi Team,

Please someone can help me with the ethos to call chaincode from chaincode . I have hyperledger fabric 2.2 blockchain network and using external chaincode service.

Currently I am facing no error When I am calling chaincode fro chaincode but also function is not invoked in called chaincode.

Regards,

Chinmay sahoo

Command line to query chaincode data?

gqqnb2005 <gqqnb2005@...>

#10354

Take the asset-transfer-basic as an example, the Java chaincode creates assets and uses stub.putStringState to save them to the blockchain.

Is there a command line counterpart of stub.getStringState?

In my bash, I would like to run

$ peer chaincode invoke -o localhost:7050 --ordererTLSHostnameOverride orderer.example.com --tls --cafile ${PWD}/organizations/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/tlscacerts/tlsca.example.com-cert.pem -C mychannel -n basic --peerAddresses localhost:7051 --tlsRootCertFiles ${PWD}/organizations/peerOrganizations/org1.example.com/peers/peer0.org1.example.com/tls/ca.crt --peerAddresses localhost:9051 --tlsRootCertFiles ${PWD}/organizations/peerOrganizations/org2.example.com/peers/peer0.org2.example.com/tls/ca.crt -c '{"function":"TransferAsset","Args":["asset6","Christopher"]}'2019-12-04 17:38:21.048 EST [chaincodeCmd] chaincodeInvokeOrQuery -> INFO 001 Chaincode invoke successful. result: status:200
$ peer getStringState 'asset6'

{"ID":"asset6","color":"white","size":15,"owner":"Christopher","appraisedValue":800}

Is `peer getStringState` sort of things available?

I know I can revise chaincode and provide a method for CLI to call. But what if I can only access the source code but not modifying it? What if the chaincode is poorly written that it caches the data internally and does not actually query the blockchain?

Therefore I'm seeking a way to query blockchain from CLI without the help of user chaincode.

If you are saying CLI cannot directly query blockchain, is this a key point that differenticiates chaincode and application, that an application can not read or write chain data, but only call chaincodes?

Error in running External chaincode

K Sanjay Kumar

#10352

Hi to all,

I followed the steps provided in the documentation to run the external chaincode i.e https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-samples/blob/main/asset-transfer-basic/chaincode-external/README.md

The error I get is

failed to start basic_1.0:0262396ccaffaa2174bc09f750f742319c4f14d60b16334d2c8921b6842c090c -- peer will not accept external chaincode connection basic_1.0:0262396ccaffaa2174bc09f750f742319c4f14d60b16334d2c8921b6842c090c (except in dev mode)

https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-2.3/peer-chaincode-devmode.html , the documentation here says " In order to use the DevMode flag on a peer, TLS communications must be disabled on all the nodes in the network."

Could you point me to any github links or resource , to get external chaincode running ,

Is it possible to run the external chaincode without a dev mode ? or what changes do I have to make to run the external chaincode? I disable the TLS communication on all the nodes and I got an error in creating the genesis block , could you point in which places I should make changes.

Transaction response from the endorsers #fabric-endorser

sohaib ali gill <sohaibgill8@...>

#10349

Hi,

hope you are doing well

I am working on a project in which I have to sign the transaction proposal offline like the user's private key, who wants to make the transaction, is stored somewhere else , remotely,wherever the user wants to keep it, not on the system where the network is running, for security purposes. To make a transaction in this way first, user has to sign the transaction proposal with the private key and then send it to the endorsers where endorsers validate the transaction proposal and then send back the transaction response to the user, then user has to send the transaction response to the orderer to commit the transaction on the ledger.Till now, I am able to sign the transaction proposal with user key and then send it to the endorsers in the network. Transaction proposal is received by the endorsers. I can confirm it by inspecting the logs of the network. but I am unable to get a response from the endorsers. Anybody who achieved this, kindly guide me.I am using Hyperledger Fabric 2.2 for this task.

.

Any thoughts are appreciated

Best Regards

Sohaib
