- This plug-in supports Team Foundation Server 2010 - 2017 using XAML builds. Note: XAML builds have been deprecated since TFS 2015 and new ones cannot be created. If using a different TFS build type, please use the VSTS plug-in. The VSTS plug-in supports all build types.
- This plug-in requires version 6.0 or later of IBM UrbanCode Deploy.
- For UrbanCode Deploy 6.0, both the agent and the server must be installed on Microsoft Windows. For UrbanCode Deploy 6.0.1 or later, only the agent is required to be on a system running Microsoft Windows.
This plug-in represents a significant enhancement to the built-in JIRA plug-in for IBM UrbanCode Release. At this time, an upgrade path is not available from the built-in version to the newly redesigned plug-in. Both plug-ins are installed and managed separately.
To get started with the plug-in, read the plug-in documentation and watch the tutorial video:
You can use the Microsoft IIS – Configure plug-in to manage Microsoft's Internet Information Services (IIS) configurations and applications. The plug-in includes steps to discover configurations and package them into .zip files by using Microsoft Web Deploy, which must be installed on the agent computer. You can modify the configuration files that are produced in the .zip archive file that the plug-in creates. The .zip file created by the plug-in is the same format that is created by the Microsoft Web Deploy package provider. You can use the tokenization steps that the plug-in provides to modify the configuration files to work with multiple environments. After you modify a configuration, you can apply it to the original environment or to a different environment. You can work with entire Microsoft IIS configurations, or at a specific scope such as Sites, Apps, or App Pools.
This plug-in provides steps to publish API Definitions and Loopback Apps to an API Connect server. This plug-in communicates to API Connect through the use of the apiconnect (apic) command line toolkit.
Platform Support
- This plug-in is supported to run on all operating systems that are supported by both the IBM UrbanCode Deploy agent (except for z/OS) and the apic toolkit.
- The apic toolkit must be downloaded and installed separately. Directions can be found here. This plug-in supports apic v2.0.18 and higher.
- Authentication issues exist within the apic toolkit. Please refer to the troubleshooting page for a secure workaround.
Technical Support: The IBM API Connect plug-in is an open source project that is fully supported by IBM. If you have any issues with the plug-in, do not hesitate to create a formal PMR. However, for small issues or use case questions, we encourage users to create an issue on GitHub. Creating an issue there will allow you to speak directly to the developers and other API Connect plug-in users. Please note, if you build a new plug-in locally, IBM support will not be able to assist you. If you wish for your changes to become supported by IBM, submit a pull request on GitHub.
Available Steps
Login: Authenticate with an API Connect cloud via the management server. This step is a prerequisite for all steps. Logout: Remove local authentication credentials for an API Connect cloud. Suggested to run on the completion of each deployment process. Publish API and Product Definitions: Publish and deploy a product and its referenced APIs to a catalog. Publish Application to Provider App: Publish a Node.js (Loopback) application to a provider app. Push Local API or Product Definitions to Drafts: Push a local API or Prouducd definition to drafts on API Connect cloud. Replace Product in Catalog: Replace a Product in a Catalog with another Product. Set Configuration Variable: Set one configuration variable. The 'Login' step is not required. This is a wrapper step for the App and Catalog Identifier. If you understand and have access to the Identifier command, use the Shell step to run that command.

Overview
Starting with version 14 of the WebSphere Application Server – Configure plug-in for IBM UrbanCode Deploy, you can use JSON files to manage WebSphere Application Server configuration. The configuration data is stored in a series of JSON files. The JSON files can be grouped to represent cell and Deployment Manager configurations, node and node agent configurations, cluster and cluster member configurations, and configurations for other WebSphere objects. You can then associate the groups of JSON files with IBM UrbanCode Deploy components, which allow for assigning versions to the JSON files. Finally, you can create processes to apply configurations and configuration changes to WebSphere Application Server instances.Benefits
Scope-specific application of changes
Because you can group JSON files into components such as cell configuration, node configuration, and other configurations, you can apply changes for one component without affecting the other components. For example, you can choose to apply only cell configuration changes. Changes to the cell configuration are then applied, but the node configuration remains unchanged.Version comparison
Because the JSON files are stored as component artifacts, they are assigned versions. You can compare versions to identify configuration changes by using the IBM UrbanCode Deploy user interface.Template creation for multiple clusters and environments
You can build a JSON template that represents a server cluster member. Users can then create any number of server cluster members based on the template. For example, in a development environment, users might want to deploy a cluster with two servers on each node. In a QA environment, each cluster might contain four servers. You can use the JSON server template with IBM UrbanCode Deploy to create these multiple servers.Videos:

- This plug-in requires UrbanCode Deploy 6.1.1.2 or later. If you are running a version of UrbanCode Deploy earlier than 6.1.1.2, use the links at the bottom to download version 72 of the plug-in.
- You can configure impersonation for the WebSphere Discovery step if the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server is at version 6.1.1.4 or later.
- The impersonating user must have access rights to both the WebSphere Application Server profile directory and the IBM UrbanCode Deploy agent directory. For example, if the WebSphere user is named wasusr with the group wasgrp, and the agent user is named ucdusr with the group ucdrgp, the user wasusr must be a member of the group ucdgrp. You can restrict the WebSphere Application Server profile directory so that only the WebSphere user has read, write, and execute permissions; the group and other users do not need any permissions. In this case, the WebSphere user starts all WebSphere processes. You can restrict the agent directory in the following ways:
- The agent user has read, write, and execute permissions everywhere.
- The group has read and execute permissions everywhere and write permissions in the var/ subfolder.
- Other users have no access.
- User: WebSphere user
- Password: [empty]
- Group: WebSphere group
- You do not need to select the Always use default impersonation check box unless a Resource overrides it in an incompatible way.
- The Start Server step works only with WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. The Start Server step does not work on WebSphere Application Server Base.
- This plug-in uses the wsadmin tool to manage connections to a WebSphere Application Server profile. Specific user rights are required to run the wsadmin tool. To learn more about user rights and the wsadmin tool, see the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment documentation.
