Data Sharing

This document lists sample ways in which you can exercise the data-sharing interoperation protocol on the test network launched earlier.

Once the networks, relays, and drivers have been launched, and the ledgers bootstrapped, you can trigger four different interoperation flows corresponding to distinct data-sharing combinations as follows:

  1. Corda to Corda: Either Corda network requests state and proof from another Corda network
  2. Corda to Fabric: The Corda network requests state and proof from either Fabric network
  3. Fabric to Corda: Either Fabric network requests state and proof from the Corda network
  4. Fabric to Fabric: One Fabric network requests state and proof from another Fabric network

We assume that one of the following chaincodes have been deployed in either Fabric network you are testing with:

  • simplestate
  • simplestatewithacl

Corda to Corda

To test the scenario where Corda_Network requests the value of the state (key) H from Corda_Network2 and writes the value to a key H in its local state, do the following:

  • (Make sure the following are running: Corda_Network, relay, and driver; Corda_Network2, relay, and driver)
  • Navigate to the weaver/samples/corda/corda-simple-application folder in your clone of the Cacti repository.

  • Run the following:

    • If Relays and Drivers are deployed in the host machine:
      • Without TLS: 
        NETWORK_NAME=Corda_Network CORDA_PORT=10006 ./clients/build/install/clients/bin/clients request-state --wkey=H localhost:9081 localhost:9082/Corda_Network2/localhost:30006#com.cordaSimpleApplication.flow.GetStateByKey:H

  • (Make sure you have configured fabric-cli as per earlier instructions)
  • Edit chaincode.json: in the simplestate:Create:args attribute, replace the argument "a" with "H" (this specifies the key to which the data from the remote view is to be written into); i.e.,:

  • Query the value of the requested state (key) H in network1 using the following: 

    ./bin/fabric-cli chaincode query mychannel simplestate read '["H"]' --local-network=network1

Notes
If you wish to enable end-to-end confidentiality for this data sharing session, add the --e2e-confidentiality=true switch to any of the above commands. For example: ./bin/fabric-cli interop --local-network=network1 --requesting-org=Org1MSP --e2e-confidentiality=true localhost:9083/network2/mychannel:simplestate:Read:Arcturus
  • Query the value of the requested state (key) Arcturus in network1 using the following: 
    ./bin/fabric-cli chaincode query mychannel simplestate read '["Arcturus"]' --local-network=network1
