HCL DevOps Deploy 2024.03 (8.0.1): Empower Your Deployment Capabilities
We're thrilled to introduce the newest update of our product HCL DevOps Deploy, release version 2024.03 (8.0.1)! This release represents a major milestone, incorporating crucial bug fixes and robust security enhancements to deliver a more dependable and fortified experience for all our users.
Latest Key Features and Enhancements
Import and Export Objects in YAML
Previously, HCL DevOps Deploy offered an option to export objects in JSON format. However, with this release, users now have the added capability to import and export objects in YAML format directly through the web-based user interface.
All the REST API calls supported YAML format starting in the 8.0.0 release and now in 8.0.1 the web-based UI has added options to support YAML format as well.
Recycle Bin for the Resource Tree
To mitigate the risk of accidental deletion of the Resource Tree, we've implemented a Recycle Bin feature. This enables us to recover any inadvertently removed Resource Tree items.
The deleted resources are moved to the Recycle Bin page. By default, the resources remain in the recycle bin for 14 days, after which they are deleted permanently from the system.
Here is an example of how to restore a resource in the Recycle Bin:
Unavailable Status for Online Agents
You can now make agents “unavailable”, so they are not scheduled for jobs and are not resolved in agent pools. By using the unavailable state, you can prepare an agent for a shutdown.
When you mark the agent as unavailable, you will see this this new status appear for the agent:
This allows you to perform your maintenance as required on the agent. Just in case, there is a menu item for the agent to allow you to mark the agent as available once again.
