  Once created, a Build Release may not be deleted from the UI; this is an important part of the auditing/workflow pieces. There are three options: Clone application - http://inedo.com/support/tutorials/cloning-an-application-with-the-sql-api - this is least risk, but will not copy histories Undocumented Releases_PurgeRelease method; this is generally used for accidently created releases, and will cascade to all builds/promotions/executions/database changes/etc Delete from database tables directly more risky The first is preferred.

  BuildMaster 3.6 (currently in beta, download here -- http://inedo.com/buildmaster/download/versions#3.6.0 ) allows servers to be specified as variables.

  All of these seem valid approaches... #1 obviously has the most flexibility in getting any artifact version. We will soon be releasing an Artifactory Extension that will make Artifactory interactions a little easier.

  Hi Phil, This has to do with the Action Group that creates the Artifact. It's probably associated with (all deployables), which means it will be in the \0 folder. So, simply change the action group that creates or deployes the artifact to use the same deployable... either (all deployables) or DeployableX. Hope that helps... Steve

  Hi Dave, Can you send a screenshot of the action to support? Want to see the value of all the fields. Suspect it's not related to variables (they get replaced long before action code runs), more to masking, or something else... Thanks

  We are using Solaris 10. It is possible the delays are being caused by poor performance of the Buildmaster server which is running as a virtual machine. I have raised a helpdek issue on our side to investigate as just copying the file with winscp from Solaris to Buildmaster takes 65 seconds which is too long.

  The "Execute Command Line" option correctly handles the return code from the unix command so we can use this option, thanks. It would be good if the SSH Execute options worked, however, as they give us some more flexibility. Note, the target Unix platform where the return code is not handled is Solaris 10.

  As it turns out this is a problem related specifically to the SVN extension and will require us to release a new version of the extension. We will have this out within the next few days. As a workaround, you can call the Execute Command Line action directly with the appropriate SVN checkout arguments in order to get the latest code.

  Just to update anyone reading this. Having spoken to support I was being a bit of an idiot. When prompted to select from SVN (Step = Select Provider/File) it wants a file, not a folder. So /Project/ will error, but if you pick a file in that folder all works.

  Hi Tero, The MySQL Database Provider is just passing the script as a command to the database. I did a quick search, and it looks like it might be configuration (connection string) related. Does your connection string have "Allow User Variables=True" in it? http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/connector-net-connection-options.html Best, Steve

  Are you planning on using IIS to host the BuildMaster web application? If so, you're all set. The IntegratedWebServer_ config values are only for hosting BuildMaster with the integrated web server. If you're going that route I can give you those values if you'd like. The "HasLoggedIn" value is only used to do initial setup of the example application and will be created and default to false if not present on the web app first load. The only table touched by the installer that would change its values is the configuration table - everything else database related is generated by the installer using the changescripter tool (bmdbupdate.exe) just as if you ran it manually against the DB.

  That was removed on purpose. We are moving away from the Wijmo control toolkit we had used previously. For the moment, the time inputs will be simple textboxes until we find an easier solution.

  There is no "application export" functionality since the goal is to have 1 instance of BuildMaster that controls the release and deployments from SCM through Production. The only things you can do at this point are re-create the steps manually, or play with the SDK to write a custom recipe that both exports an application into some format, and also can import it. Unfortunately we don't have any recipe creation tutorials at this point, but we could send you some code as an example you'd like (they're pretty simple if you already know C#). The best thing you can do would be to solve the infrastructure problems around the Production environment and allow BuildMaster access to an agent installed on the server(s) of that environment. This way you'd have a single instance of BuildMaster and would only have to manage a single deployment plan per application.

  I ended up just installing for SQL express, then taking a backup the database it created and restoring that on our sql server, and pointing the service and web app to that. Then I changed the service to log in as the domain login that has rights on the database. It would be nice it we could specify a database name when installing, and use an existing empty database. Also it would be nice to be able to specify the windows user accessing SQL when installing. Right now when installing the database creation script runs as the user running the installer, and the service itself runs as Network Service.

  Hi Steve and Tod, Thanks for the information. At my next available opportunity, I will be testing my server to see if my ISP blocks SMTP transmissions. I read through the How-To you referenced on that topic, and it's a bit of a stretch for my experience, so it may take me a while. However, I will report back when I have results. Also, to Steve's question, we are using the latest version of BuildMaster, just updated prior to testing SMTP settings. To your point about two-factor authentication, I just checked my Google Account settings, and I am NOT currently using 2-factor authentication (though I probably should be). Thanks for the thought, though. I will do some more work and report back. Thanks again for the ideas. Matthew

  Hi Tim, BuildMaster is licensed on a "per team" basis, so each user who accesses BuildMaster needs to have either a full or limited-access license. You can reassign users as needed, but not to workaround licensing policies. Hope that helps, Steve
