Unexpected response '404' downloading from 'https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/springframework/cloud/spring-cloud-dataflow-shell/2.11.7/spring-cloud-dataflow-shell-2.11.7.jar'

Environment

Spring Cloud Data Flow for Cloud Foundry v1.14.5+

Tanzu Platform for Cloud Foundry

 

Resolution

The cf CLI plugin spring-cloud-dataflow-for-pcf-cli-plugin (cf dataflow-shell) has been archived since March 2022. It has been deprecated and no longer supported. 

 

The only way is to use the shell manually. Following are the steps.

1.Download the jar. Is this example we will use v2.11.7

The version 2.11.7 of the spring-cloud-dataflow-shell JAR is available in the enterprise repository packages.broadcom.com/.../2.11.7/. 

Please follow the https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-tanzu/spring/tanzu-spring/commercial/spring-tanzu/guide-artifact-repository-administrators.html#access-enterprise-subscription instructions for the username and token. 

2. Get the dataflow server's FQDN (DATAFLOW_FQDN)

Execute:
     cf service <MY_DATAFLOW_INSTANCE>

Example:

$ cf service my-data-flow

Service instance: my-data-flow
Showing info of service data-flow in org myorg / space dev as user...

name:            my-data-flow
service:         p-dataflow

DATAFLOW_FQDN is the dashboard's domain name (URL minus the path following the domain)

 

3. From the directory containing the shell jar file, run the dataflow-shell with the command

java \
    -jar spring-cloud-dataflow-shell-2.11.7.jar \
    --dataflow.skip-ssl-validation=true \
    --dataflow.uri="<DATAFLOW_FQDN>" \
    --dataflow.credentials-provider-command="cf oauth-token"
