Reference Pipeline Server(s) in Deployment Plan

[Guest]

I'm currently configuring Buildmaster applications to have a one-to-one deployment plan to pipeline stage configuration, but I'm interested in leveraging the fact that pipeline stages can reference servers.

How do deployment plans interact with pipeline stage servers? For example, if I want a deployment plan to deploy an artifact to a remote server -- how do I tell it to deploy to whatever server(s) are defined in the pipeline stage?

Thank you!

Any servers in the pipeline stage target is functionally equivalent to:

foreach server in @TargetServers
{
    # the plan being executed...
}

A slice of my build plan looks like this:

#Deploy Artifact

foreach server in @TargetServers
{
    Deploy-Artifact Webcode
    (
        To: $webroot
    );

    Exec
    (
        FileName: /bin/chmod,
        Arguments: -R -f a+rwx $writeabledirectories,
        WorkingDirectory: $webroot
    );
}

I'm receiving the following error:

ERROR: Could not resolve variable @TargetServers.

What I'm saying is, your plan is automatically wrapped with the equivalent of that foreach statement (@TargetServers is not an actual function, it was just an example). So if the entirety of your plan is:

Log-Debug Displaying server name...;
Log-Information `$ServerName = $ServerName;

and if the stage targets 3 servers (for example Server1, Server2, Server3), the execution logs will be:

DEBUG: Displaying server name...
INFO : $ServerName = Server1
DEBUG: Displaying server name...
INFO : $ServerName = Server2
DEBUG: Displaying server name...
INFO : $ServerName = Server3

That makes much more sense! Thank you for the clarification. So I effectively do not need to specify targets in any of the Buildmaster actions that would require that information.

Thanks for your help Tod
