Answer 1

As the error clearly says,

 ERR   throw 'Please apply the Application ID from Parse.com';

I did not update environment variables to APP_KEY of my parse app.

Thanks

Answer 2

You have a NodeJS capability/Library parse-on-bluemix that requires a license, API key or other credential from and external service provider Parse.com that isn't accessible or works with Bluemix. Your options are:

1. Replace the service/capability with one that Bluemix or another service can provide. so that you no longer have the dependency on parse-on-bluemix and Parse.com

2. OR create the necessary key/ token/ authorization from Parse.com and make it so that your code can access that key before it makes requests to that service or Capability on Parse.com. There are a variety of ways you can do this:

   • Create user defined environment variables in Bluemix. Set Bluemix VCAP_SERVICES environment variable locally so that I can develop locally?
   • Add a .env file that bluemix / your app will automatically read in to get the get before you call your Parse.com services.
