So, we deployed only that one component, leaving the other components untouched. We provided a hotfix recently with a few changes in only one component. Our application has 5 components in one of the deployable packages. We can choose individual components to deploy. What I really liked about this tool is the selective deployment. The ease of individual component deployment The XL Deploy plugin task in the VSTS build: We can deploy it from the build pipeline or we can login to the XLD application and deploy it manually. So once the XL Deploy plugin task is enabled in the VSTS build.
XLD FILE NAMING MANUAL
Deploy using build pipeline or manual deploy This DAR package will be available in XL Deploy web application. So, at the end of all these tasks the XL Deploy plugin creates a DAR package. There is a XLDeploy plugin task which can be added after all the other tasks (like MS Build, copying artifacts, running test assemblies). Since XLD requires a VSTS build for creating the deployment package, we need to create a VSTS build of the application. We can export the manifest file as shown below from the package in XLD: Manifest file with one of the component tag: Or, we can create the manifest file manually and then the DAR package will be created according to the manifest file definition. We can create the deployable package (DAR) first and then export the manifest file. The manifest file is an XML file that describes the contents of the package for deployment. Keys and values in the above config file: But the added advantage here is we can define our own delimiters for the keys. This is very similar to any other release automation tools. So for XL Deploy, we create the keys in a XL config file and give the values in the Dictionary in the XLD web application. Create XL configurationīefore any of the steps, we need to add the configurable items in the form of keys and values. Lets see what steps you need to take to start off with XL Deploy. Just connect to Windows or Unix target system and use this application with ease. It is a web based tool which means that it is accessible from any machine. Currently, we have migrated all of our components to VSTS build and XL Deploy.
XLD FILE NAMING HOW TO
In this blog, I will tell you how to start with XLD and talk about my opinion.īefore, we were using XAML builds along with a Release Management (RM) tool which was installed on the Build Agent machine.
So, the time has come to pen down my experience with XL Deploy
