Deploy is engineered to handle the most complex deployment situations with push-button automation and controlled auditing needed in production. DevOps Deploy automates application deployments across varying IT environments.

Summary

The HCL Launch plugin for HCL Accelerate synchronizes applications, processes, components, versions, snapshots, teams, environments, and more from HCL Launch. A Launch application can be configured as an application in an HCL Accelerate pipeline and the HCL Launch processes can be configured in the HCL Accelerate pipeline. The HCL Accelerate Pipeline can then display the latest version of the application deployed to different environments.

Compatibility

The HCL Launch plug-in requires HCL Accelerate version 2.3 or later.

Integration

There are two methods to integrate the plug-in:

Using the user interface
Using a JSON file

The tables in the Configuration properties topic describe the properties used to define the integration.

Using the user interface

From the Plugins page, click Settings > Integrations > Plugins.
Under the Action column for the plug-in, click Add Integration.
On the Add Integration page enter values for the fields used to configure the integration and define communication.
Click Save.

Using a JSON file

The JSON file contains the information for creating a value stream. Within the JSON file is a section for integrations. It is in this section that plug-in properties can be defined.

From a value stream page, download the value stream map. The value stream map is a JSON file used to define integrations.
Edit the JSON file to include the plug-in configuration properties.
Save and upload the JSON file. This replaces the current JSON file with the new content.
View the new integration on the Integrations page.

Minimum permission to integrate with HCL Launch

The access token generated from HCL Launch must have the following permissions to connect with HCL Launch.

VIEW_APPLICATIONS
EDIT_APPLICATIONS
VIEW_ENVIRONMENTS
EXECUTE_ENVIRONMENTS
MANAGE_SECURITY
SETTINGS_TAB

Configuration Properties

The following tables describe the properties used to configure the integration. Each table contains the field name when using the user interface and the property name when using a JSON file.

The General Configuration Properties table describes configuration properties used by all plug-in integrations.
The HCL Launch Configuration Properties table describes the configuration properties that define the connection and communications with the HCL Launch server. When using the JSON method to integrate the plug-in these properties are coded within the properties configuration property.

Some properties might not be displayed in the user interface, to see all properties enable the Show Hidden Properties field.

Version

ucv-ext-launch:5.0.7.tar

Uploaded: 05-Aug-2024 08:20

Release Notes

In this version, the automation task execution mechanism got modified. Previously we used to do completion of tasks during sync event. Now during the execution of the automation task, completion of the task happens. It is helpful for giving exact user to the devops velocity and makes the execution faster. Build Polling Timeout as a new parameter is added in the plugin which indicates Length of time (in minutes) to wait for build to complete if task is set to wait. Users can customize the Build Polling Timeout as per the need. Along with that a property which is a wait property is added. During the addition of the task, the wait property is in true state by default. It indicates the plugin will wait for the build to complete. If it is explicitly set to false, then the plugin will not be built to complete.
