Detect legacy features question
-
I've been working to clean up legacy items and I am confused by one aspect.
In the report it is saying i have legacy template variables but when I view the Variables page in the admin it is not indicating any legacy variables.So just wanting to clarify what is it this is complaining about?
The main variables I have are release templates and pipeline and while the variable names listed are some I have the log listing the legacy variables is not clear where they are.
Product: BuildMaster
Version: 6.0.10

These Legacy Template Variables (Release, Build, Execution, Promotion) are defined at the application-level, not at the system-level.
If you View Full Log, you should be able to find a block that looks something like this:
WARN : 2018-02-21 22:37:21Z - Legacy template variable declarations found: WARN : 2018-02-21 22:37:21Z - ID: 107; Name: BUILD-SOURCE; Scope: Release WARN : 2018-02-21 22:37:21Z - ID: 92; Name: BUILD-SOURCE; Scope: Release WARN : 2018-02-21 22:37:21Z - ID: 108; Name: BUILD-SOURCE; Scope: Release WARN : 2018-02-21 22:37:21Z - ID: 109; Name: BUILD-SOURCE; Scope: Release WARN : 2018-02-21 22:37:21Z - ID: 111; Name: BUILD-SOURCE; Scope: Release WARN : 2018-02-21 22:37:21Z - ID: 112; Name: BUILD-SOURCE; Scope: Release WARN : 2018-02-21 22:37:21Z - ID: 113; Name: BUILD-SOURCE; Scope: ReleaseIf that's not enough information to locate, you can look directly in the SQL Server Database to find out.

Alana,
are those in the Application | Settings? If so then I do know where they are now.
I've used those in almost every application.
-
Yes. But hmm ... maybe it's a disabled application? You should be able to find those in the
VariableDeclarationstable; those IDs refer to those.
-
Are the Id's listed supposed to match the Variable Id? I'm referring the number values not the string values.
When I view the Global Variables area should they be in a Legacy Variables list? I do see variables there but do not see any Legacy list.
-
Without seeing your log, I really don't know. But in this case...
WARN : 2018-02-21 22:37:21Z - ID: 107; Name: BUILD-SOURCE; Scope: ReleaseWe have a legacy release template variable called "BULID-SOURCE". This will only show up in an application's settings page, it will not show up under global.
So how can we find the application? well, if I run this query,
SELECT Scoped_Application_Id FROM VariableDeclarations WHERE VariableDeclaration_Id=107I can find the application id. From there, I can enter it in the navigation bar, and find the variables.

Alana,
thanks. I didn't realize those variables did not appear in that list, thought that was all variables.
In any event, knowing they are app settings variables helps.Thanks!
