Configure Deploy to fetch artifacts from a Maven repository

This topic describes how to fetch artifacts from a Maven repository. You can access artifacts stored in a Maven repository using the fileUri property of Deploy artifacts. To use this feature, you must configure the Maven repositories that Deploy will search for artifacts.

Copy Strategies

In Digital.ai Deploy, a copy strategy is the mechanism used to transfer file.Folder artifacts to target hosts using the overthere.Host library.

Create a deployment package using the command line

You can use the command line to create a deployment package (DAR file) that can be imported into Deploy. This example packages an application called PetClinic that consists of an EAR file and a resource specification.

Customizations for file.Folder Deployments

Customize file.Folder deployments to control how Deploy handles empty folders, performance optimization (isForceArchive), legacy behavior, connection retry logic, and debug logging.

Deploy an application

This topic outlines the process for deploying an application using the Deployment Wizard in Deploy, including options for managing and troubleshooting deployments.

Deploy concepts

This topic provides information about the Deploy concepts for using Deploy.

Deploy Manifest Format

The manifest file included in a deployment package (DAR file) describes the contents of the archive for Deploy. When importing a package, the manifest is used to construct CIs in Deploy's repository based on the contents of the imported package. The format is based on XML.

Deploy repository

This topic explains the Deploy repository in XL Deploy, detailing its role in storing and managing deployment packages, configurations, and artifacts essential for the deployment process.

Export a deployment package

This topic covers how to export a deployment package (DAR file) from Deploy using both the GUI and the command line.

file.Folder CI Deployments

A file.Folder configuration item (CI) in Digital.ai Deploy allows you to deploy a directory structure either as an exploded folder or from an archive onto a target host. The source for a file.Folder can be a directory, a TAR, ZIP, or other supported archive format. During deployment, the contents are extracted and copied to the destination host as a folder, using the most appropriate copy strategy for performance and correctness.

Package version handling

This topic emphasizes that when creating a Deployment Package in Deploy, the name field is mandatory.

Preparing your application for Deploy

This topic explains how Deploy uses the Unified Deployment Model (UDM) to structure deployments. In this model, deployment packages are containers for complete application distribution. These include application artifacts (EAR files, static content) and resource specifications (datasources, topics, queues, and others) that the application requires to run.

Update a deployed application

This topic provides information on updating packages in Deploy. You do not need to manually create a delta package to perform an update, as the Deploy auto-flow engine automatically calculates the delta between two packages.

Using the deployment pipeline

In Deploy you can view the deployment pipeline for an application or a deployment/provisioning package. In the deployment pipeline you can view the sequence of environments to which an application is deployed during its lifecycle. The deployment pipeline also allows you to see the data about the last deployment of an application to each environment. You must first define a deployment pipeline for each application you want to view.

View deployment history

You can view the history of successful deployments of application versions to an environment. This is useful when you want to determine placeholder value changes between versions for an environment, determine who made a specific change, and to support deployment rollbacks.

View the application summary screen

The application summary screen displays a set of basic information about the application, the deployment pipeline tile, and the latest deployments tile.

z/OS Deployment Overview

This guide explains the process of deploying files to z/OS systems using the new SSH-SFTP connection. Previously, deployments required manual ASCII to EBCDIC (CP1047) transcoding when using SCP or SFTP, making the process more complex and time-consuming. With the new SFTP-only approach, text files are automatically converted to EBCDIC (CP1047) during transfer, simplifying deployments.
