If an artifact retention policy is set to keep only only the last 500MB of artifacts, does this mean that across all releases, only 500MB of artifacts will be kept?

Or does it mean 500MB per release? If the latter, would there be any way to set it up to apply per release?

Thank you,

Thank you! That information allowed me to get a lot further than before.

At the very beginning of this script, the script separates into multiple threads using async. In each thread, the same variable is being set to different values. Will the values for each variable be contained within each respective thread? Or might they leak over into other threads?

Thank you,
Ali

foreach $DeployableName in @BM_DeployableList
{
    with async = DeployableList
    {
        set $DeployPath = $Eval(`$BM_DeployPath_$DeployableName);
        set $AppPoolName = $Eval(`$BM_AppPoolName_$DeployableName);
        IIS::Stop-AppPool $($AppPoolName);
        Delete-Files *
        (
            Directory: $DeployPath,
            Verbose: true
        );
        Deploy-Artifact $DeployableName
        (
            To: $($DeployPath),
            DoNotClearTarget: false
        );
        IIS::Start-AppPool $($AppPoolName);
    }
    await DeployableList;
}

Is it possible to use the result of combining two strings to call another variable?

For example:

set $BuildMaster_Test_1 = Test;
set $Number = 1;
Log-Debug "$(BuildMaster_Test_$Number)";

In this example, I hoped it would output "Test". However, it actually outputs "BuildMaster_Test_1".

Is it possible to combine 2 strings into 1 string (without using a separator character)?

Specifically, I would like to merge the values of two variables into one.

@jrasch
I tried creating a retention policy, like my attached screenshot.

However, it deleted all of the artifacts in BuildMaster, not just orphaned ones. Is there a way to delete just the orphaned ones?

We are using Version 5.8.3 (Build 7) of BuildMaster.
