# Orleans Configuration
This document explains how to configure Orleans usage in the Managing API.
## Overview
The Managing API now always runs Orleans for infrastructure, but supports configurable grain execution through the `RunOrleansGrains` configuration option. This allows you to control whether Orleans grains (bots, timers, reminders) are active during runtime.
## Configuration Options
### 1. Configuration File (appsettings.json)
Add the Orleans grain control parameter to your appsettings file:
```json
{
"RunOrleansGrains": true
}
```
- `RunOrleansGrains`: Boolean value that controls whether Orleans grains (bots, timers, reminders) are active
- `true` (default): Grains are active and can run timers/reminders
- `false`: Grains are inactive, no timers or reminders will execute
**Note**: Orleans infrastructure is always enabled and configured. This flag only controls grain execution.
### 2. Environment Variables
You can also control Orleans grain execution through environment variables:
```bash
# Enable Orleans grains (bots, timers, reminders)
export RUN_ORLEANS_GRAINS=true
# Disable Orleans grains (infrastructure still runs)
export RUN_ORLEANS_GRAINS=false
```
**Note**: Environment variables take precedence over configuration file settings.
## Configuration Files
The following configuration files have been updated with Orleans grain control settings:
- `appsettings.json` - Base configuration (RunOrleansGrains: true)
- `appsettings.Development.json` - Development configuration (RunOrleansGrains: false)
- `appsettings.Oda.json` - Oda environment (RunOrleansGrains: true)
- `appsettings.Oda-docker.json` - Oda Docker environment (RunOrleansGrains: true)
- `appsettings.Sandbox.json` - Sandbox environment (RunOrleansGrains: true)
- `appsettings.SandboxLocal.json` - Local Sandbox environment (RunOrleansGrains: true)
- `appsettings.Production.json` - Production environment (RunOrleansGrains: true)
## Use Cases
### Development Environment
- Set `RunOrleansGrains: false` to run Orleans infrastructure without active grains
- Useful for development and testing without bot execution overhead
### Testing Environment
- Set `RunOrleansGrains: false` to test Orleans infrastructure without running bots
- Useful for integration testing without triggering actual trading operations
### Production Environment
- Set `RunOrleansGrains: true` to enable full Orleans grain functionality
- Required for production trading bot operations
### Docker/Container Environment
- Use environment variables for easy configuration
- Example: `docker run -e RUN_ORLEANS_GRAINS=false ...`
## Implementation Details
The Orleans configuration is implemented in:
1. **ApiBootstrap.cs** - Orleans configuration logic
2. **Program.cs** - Application startup Orleans configuration
## Security Considerations
- Orleans configuration is not sensitive and can be included in configuration files
- Environment variables provide runtime flexibility without code changes
- Default behavior maintains backward compatibility (Orleans enabled by default)
## Troubleshooting
### Orleans Not Starting
1. Orleans infrastructure is always enabled
2. Ensure PostgreSQL connection string for Orleans is configured
3. Check application logs for connection errors
### Grains Not Running
1. Check `RunOrleansGrains` configuration value
2. Verify environment variable `RUN_ORLEANS_GRAINS` is not set to `false`
3. Ensure Orleans infrastructure is running properly
### Configuration Not Applied
1. Verify configuration file syntax
2. Check environment variable spelling (`RUN_ORLEANS_GRAINS`)
3. Restart the application after configuration changes
## Migration
Existing deployments will continue to work as Orleans grains are enabled by default. To control Orleans grain behavior:
### Disable Grains (Keep Orleans Infrastructure)
1. Add `"RunOrleansGrains": false` to your appsettings file, or
2. Set environment variable `RUN_ORLEANS_GRAINS=false`
### Development/Testing Setup
```json
{
"RunOrleansGrains": false
}
```
**Note**: Orleans infrastructure is always enabled and cannot be disabled.
