First, exec into the CLI container:

docker exec -it cli bash

Export the ORDERER_CA and CHANNEL_NAME variables:

export ORDERER_CA=/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/tlscacerts/tlsca.example.com-cert.pem  && export CHANNEL_NAME=mychannel

Check to make sure the variables have been properly set:

 echo $ORDERER_CA && echo $CHANNEL_NAME

Fetch the Configuration

Now we have a CLI container with our two key environment variables – ORDERER_CA and CHANNEL_NAME exported. Let’s go fetch the most recent config block for the channel – mychannel.

peer channel fetch config config_block.pb -o orderer.example.com:7050 -c $CHANNEL_NAME --tls --cafile $ORDERER_CA 

Convert the Configuration to JSON and Trim It Down

Now we will make use of the configtxlator tool to decode this channel configuration block into JSON format (which can be read and modified by humans). We also must strip away all of the headers, metadata, creator signatures, and so on that are irrelevant to the change we want to make. We accomplish this by means of the jq tool:

configtxlator proto_decode --input config_block.pb --type common.Block | jq .data.data[0].payload.data.config > config.json

Add the Org4 Crypto Material

We’ll use the jq tool once more to append the Org4 configuration definition – org4.json – to the channel’s application groups field, and name the output – modified_config.json.

 jq -s '.[0] * {"channel_group":{"groups":{"Application":{"groups": {"Org4MSP":.[1]}}}}}' config.json ./channel-artifacts/org4.json > modified_config.json

Convert config.json into protobuf called config.pb:

configtxlator proto_encode --input config.json --type common.Config --output config.pb

Next, encode modified_config.json to modified_config.pb:

configtxlator proto_encode --input modified_config.json --type common.Config --output modified_config.pb

Now use configtxlator to calculate the delta between these two config protobufs. This command will output a new protobuf binary named org4_update.pb:

configtxlator compute_update --channel_id $CHANNEL_NAME --original config.pb --updated modified_config.pb --output org4_update.pb

Decode it editable json format and call it org4_update.json

configtxlator proto_decode --input org4_update.pb --type common.ConfigUpdate | jq . > org4_update.json

Now, we have a decoded update file – org4_update.json – that we need to wrap in an envelope message:

echo '{"payload":{"header":{"channel_header":{"channel_id":"'$CHANNEL_NAME'", "type":2}},"data":{"config_update":'$(cat org4_update.json)'}}}' | jq . > org4_update_in_envelope.json

Finally, convert it again protobuf format:

configtxlator proto_encode --input org4_update_in_envelope.json --type common.Envelope --output org4_update_in_envelope.pb 

Copy Final Protobuf file org4_update_in_envelope.bp to Server2 and Server3

In Server1

docker cp cli:/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/org4_update_in_envelope.pb 

We use localhost as a bridge. In localhost temp directory:

sudo scp -i ~/<path to server1 key file>  [email protected]<server1 publick DNS-IP v4>:/<path to network directory>/org4_update_in_envelope.pb

Copy this file to server2 and server3 from localhost temp directory:

sudo scp -i ~/<path to server2 key file> org4_update_in_envelope.pb [email protected]<server2 publick DNS-IP v4>:/<path to network directory>/

sudo scp -i ~/<path to server3 key file> org4_update_in_envelope.pb [email protected]<server3 publick DNS-IP v4>:/<path to network directory>/

Copy it into org2 and org3 peers:

docker cp org4_update_in_envelope.pb org2cli:/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/

docker cp org4_update_in_envelope.pb org3cli:/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/
