Prerequisites

• IIS and Microsoft Web Deploy must be installed on the agent computer.
• The File Utils plug-in (version 49 or later) must be installed.
• The IBM DevOps Deploy Versioned File Storage plug-in (version 25 or later) must be installed.
• The Groovy plug-in (version 7 or later) must be installed.
• The IBM DevOps Deploy Versions plug-in (version 62 or later) must be installed.

This version of the IISConfigure plug-in was tested with Microsoft IIS versions 8.0 and 8.5 on Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

This plug-in requires version 6.2.0.2 or later of IBM DevOps Deploy.

This plug-in supports agents that are running on Microsoft Windows.

Installation

No special steps are required for installation. See Installing plug-ins in DevOps products.

History

Versions

Version 11

• Change dependency on DevOps Deploy Versioned File Storage plug-in to version 30 and DevOps Deploy Versions to version 66.

Version 9

• A topology discovery can be run without editing and saving the properties of the webServer group after an auto-discovery.

Version 8

• Error and debugging information prints correctly to the output log in DevOps Deploy.
• IISApp resource roles can be added to other IISApp resource roles.

Other Versions:

Version 7

• Fixed an issue where agents installed on non-Windows platforms would produce an error when placed in the resource tree

Version 6

• Fixed issue where apps were not getting discovered correctly during a topology discovery
• Fixed issue where optional arguments were incorrectly placed onto msdeploy commands

Version 5

• Fixed issue where optional arguments for msdeploy commands were not working correctly.

Beta 4

• The plug-in now includes a live comparison feature. You can compare your component versions against a live IIS configuration to find differences between the two.
• The IIS Configuration Discover and Configure step is now called IIS Configuration Discovery, to better represent its purpose.
• The Configure using IIS Configuration Discover and Configure action is now called Configure using IIS Configuration Topology Discovery, to better represent its purpose
• Topology discoveries can be run from only the webServer resource role rather than the webServer, site, app, and app pool roles. This change better represents the purpose of a topology discovery.
• Multiple properties were renamed. Descriptions for properties were enhanced for clarity.
• The plug-in now requires IBM DevOps Deploy version 6.2.0.2 or later. Other required plug-in versions also changed. These changes are required to support the live comparison features.
• Example processes, application, and components were altered to accommodate changes in property names.
• The Tokenize Configuration File step now prints the values to be replaced by tokens.
• Resource roles are now restricted to their correct parent roles when you drag them to the resource tree.

Beta 3

• Fixed issue where the plug-in did not load on IBM DevOps Deploy 6.2.2.

Beta 2

• Fixed issue where plug-in might not automatically import example processes, component templates, and applications.
• Added plug-in dependencies for various plug-in steps that are used in example processes, component templates, and applications.
• Fixed issue where topology discovery resource role attributes did not parse colons (😃 properly.
