Enhancement request for multiple environment to one server

[PhilippeC.]

Hello

When you assign more than one environment to one server, and when the same variable is set with 2 diffrent values, it is not working properly.

• Configuration
  It should loop all the configuration over all the environnement assign to the server.
• Orchestration
  It is already possible to select for which environment but it is not working properly.

Test Case:

• Server A
• Role : MyApp / Configuration =>

Ensure-Directory(
	Name: $MyAppFolder
	[Exists: <true/false>]
);

• Environnement 1 => $MyAppFolder=AppliTESTTEAM1
• Environnement 2 => $MyAppFolder=AppliTESTTEAM2

Actually, I have to setup 2 servers to deploy the 2 appliaitons if I am based on Environment approach.

This impact BuildMaster too.

Best regards

Have you seen the Multiple Environments per Server documentation?

We really don't recommend this configuration, because the behavior is very confusing. Servers should generally really only be in single environment.

Instead, can you use server roles?

Hello Alana

I agree. I know that one server should be assign to a single Environment.

I already use Role for the Applications (One Role = One Application),
but I cannot have 1 or more server per environment as our dev team and test team like to have plenty of environment so I need to consolidate multiple environment to one server.

I am already using BuildMaster (with many Pipeline Stage) to deploy to a single server the environment I want.

It was a request to improve Otter which already good to make my work more simple. I understand it might not be very simple to do it.

Thank you for the reply

Best regards
Philippe
