Overview
The steps in this plug-in work with versioned components. For example, the Download Artifacts step retrieves the latest version of a component. Most component deployment processes use this step to download the component artifacts to the agent system.
Note: For AIX systems, file permissions defined at the operating system level are not supported by the DevOps Deploy Versioned File Storage plug-in. The plug-in uses the permissions set by a process or script. The chmod command can be used to reset a permission to the value defined at the operating system level.
To add the IBM DevOps Deploy Versioned File Storage plug-in steps to processes, click Repositories > Artifact > IBM DevOps Deploy in the step palette of the process editor.
Compatibility
This plug-in requires version 6.1 or later of IBM DevOps Deploy.
This plug-in is supported to run on all operating systems that are supported by the IBM DevOps Deploy agent.
Installation
No special steps are required for installation. See Installing plug-ins in DevOps products.
