Release and Pipeline Management

Release Definition

  • Releases are now available in Global search as well as Recent activity. In addition, Releases can be marked as Favorite and tags can be assigned to it.

  • Releases are now stored in folders. For Customers upgrading from previous version, all Releases will be placed in FlexDeploy folder.

  • Release security is now inherited from parent folder, which allows for easier management of security permissions for release. Release can override or inherit security from parent folder(s), which is similar to folder and project security. There is no impact to Customers upgrading from previous versions of FlexDeploy.

  • Release Settings are now available. These settings as release permissions can be defined at the folder or release level. Release settings include various options like Snapshot name syntax, Auto complete package & release after deployment to production, options to automatically add content based on work items etc. See Release Settings for more details.

    • FLEXDEPLOY-4174 - Snapshot code committers are not allowed to approve gate. This is configured by release setting.

    • FLEXDEPLOY-6347 - Snapshot name can be customized now using Snapshot Name setting which is defined as Groovy script. Supported variables are CurrentDate, ReleaseName, SequenceNumber (FLEXDEPLOY-8781)

  • Release content (project/packages) can be managed much more easily now. UX is similar to how package files are managed. This process also allows for searching packages of specific project easily (FLEXDEPLOY-2515).

  • Release content now can be managed by Release Manager role without any knowledge of necessary project/package. This is accomplished by adding Work Items to release and project/packages are added automatically to release content. This behavior is controlled by Auto-Add Content Options release setting, which allows adding content based on package work item mapping, new build or previous build associated with work item.

  • Work Items are always added to release when new snapshots are created or new packages are added. This allows release manages to see list of work items being developed for specific release.

  • FLEXDEPLOY-4299 - removal of project/package from release content now presents confirmation dialogfrom release content now presents confirmation dialog.

  • Completed releases can now be started if necessary.

  • Force End option is now available to complete release, which will abort any running executions.

Pipeline Definition

  • Pipelines are now available in Global search as well as Recent activity.

  • Pipeline definition edit and version activation is simplified in comparison to previous FlexDeploy version.

  • Pipeline Groovy now has access to many new functions: LOG, EMAIL, SLACK, MICROSOFTTEAMS, REST.

  • FLEXDEPLOY-4467 - Pipeline property definition now allows for various types like Text Field, Text Area, Number, Checkbox, Decimal, Duration, Date, Date Time, and FlexDeploy selections for Environment, Project, Release, User, Group etc.

  • Use of Pipeline Roles on various gate and step including error notification can now be scripted. In addition, user can provide just FlexDeploy groups instead of Role(s). (FLEXDEPLOY-5923)

  • Pipeline Versions now get named with an sequence number instead of current date.

...

  • FlexDeploy 7.0 plugins will not work with previous versions of FlexDeploy. In general, first two letters of application (e.g. 7.0) and plugin version should match for compatibility.

  • The Apigee, Maven, and XPath plugins now require Java 8, this decision was made to resolve security vulnerabilities. Flexagon understands that many customers are forced into using older Java versions by their legacy software, and will attempt to maintain Java 7 compatibility for the near future, as well as Java 6 compatibility for the EBS plugin. We also understand that other customers need to run on newer Java versions. Continue to watch the Plugin Java requirements page for updates. We welcome support tickets for concerns with Java version support.

  • Background thread names used by execution engine is changed from gateworker, stepworker to releaseeventprocessor.

  • FLEXDEPLOY-9981 - ReleaseProjectDataObject - Removed the GroupName attribute, which contained group names (String), and replaced with ProjectGroups attribute, which contains group ids. This affects v2 REST APIs for release and some FLEXDEPLOY methods.

  • New release created using V1 API will be placed in FlexDeploy folder and will be initialized with Pipeline based on FlexDeploy folder release settings.
