Composer Card Create

Creates a business network card from individual components. When creating a business network card, you will need either an enrollSecret, both a certificate and privateKey or just a certificate if your private keys are managed by a HSM (Hardware Security Module).

composer card create --file conga.card --businessNetworkName penguin-network --connectionProfileFile connection.json --user conga --enrollSecret supersecret

Roles

Roles are only used by playground when interacting with Hyperledger Fabric to determine which card to use when performing the 2 step action of installing new business networks and then either starting or upgrading that business network. Whenever a business network is first deployed or new changes are deployed, the new business network is first installed onto the peer(s) and then a start or upgrade is requested.

In order to perform an installation of a business network, a card with the PeerAdmin role is used. To perform a start or upgrade of the business network a card with the ChannelAdmin role is used.

Javascript API Example

const CardCreate = require('composer-cli').Card.Create;

let options = {
  file: 'conga.card',
  businessNetworkName: 'penguin-network',
  connectionProfileFile: 'connection.json',
  user: 'conga',
  enrollSecret: 'supersecret'
};

CardCreate.handler(options);
