Overview
The IBM WebSphere Application Server - Configure plug-in includes steps to manage the configuration of multiple IBM WebSphere Application Server instances. You can use the plug-in to complete the following tasks:- Discover WebSphere Application Server cell configurations and create IBM UrbanCode Deploy resource trees based on those configurations.
- Update WebSphere Application Server configurations at all scope levels: cell, node, server, and cluster.
- View the progress of discovering configurations and applying configurations in the user interface. If you close the progress log, you can still view results by looking at the most recent log on the History page for the resource.
- Define resource templates that represent a WebSphere Application Server configuration, based on a configuration imported from a cell. You can modify a resource template so that it is generic and can work with dynamic topologies, and then apply that template to other WebSphere Application Server cells that are discovered by IBM UrbanCode Deploy.
- Create WebSphere Application Server artifacts in the resource tree in IBM UrbanCode Deploy based on resource roles. The configuration objects are created in a running WebSphere Application Server configuration when you apply the configuration.
- Compare and synchronize resources between two resource trees.
- Compare a cell resource tree in IBM UrbanCode Deploy with a live WebSphere Application Server cell and view the configuration differences.
- Automate the provisioning, discovery, configuration of WebSphere Application Server cells, and the application of changes to those cells.

This plugin is a Beta plugin, and we are looking for your feedback. Please post feedback about the CICS TS plug-in, or questions about how to use it to deploy your CICS applications to the CICSdev forum.
Overview
CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS provides scalable, general-purpose, transaction processing solutions for high-volume updates to shared data. Businesses have used CICS to differentiate themselves by creating, extending, and evolving their critical applications. You can use the CICS TS plug-in for UrbanCode Deploy to automate the deployment and undeployment of CICS applications. In a wider context, the CICS TS plug-in can be used in conjunction with other CICS tooling to automate the build and deployment of CICS artifacts as part of a continuous delivery environment.Compatibility
Platform Support: The CICS TS plug-in is supported to run against any of the following CICS editions:- IBM CICS Transaction Server for z/OS Version 4 or above
- IBM CICS Transaction Server for z/OS Developer Trial Version 4 or above
- IBM CICS Transaction Server for z/OS Value Unit Edition Version 5 or above

The Apple Xcode plug-in includes steps that manage the continuous delivery of Apple iOS applications by interacting with simulators and devices. These steps include tasks that are related to installing and removing the application on devices and simulators, and running tests as part of a DevOps solution. The plug-in also includes steps for creating and deleting simulators. The plug-in includes steps for creating and deleting simulators, and for starting and stopping the simulator: The plug-in also includes steps that are related to installing and removing iOS applications from devices or simulators: The plug-in also includes steps that are related to testing applications: With the xcrun step, you can access thexcrun command-line tools:
Important: When you use steps from the Apple Xcode plug-in for IBM UrbanCode Deploy (either in the same process or separate processes running at the same time), you must acquire and release a lock to prevent these steps from running in parallel since some actions can hang. For more information about the Acquire Lock and Release Lock steps, see Acquire Lock and Release Lock.

Description
The Application Deployment for WebSphere plug-in provides a number of useful steps for deploying application binaries to and performing adminstrative tasks for WebSphere Application Server. The plug-in also contains a number of steps related to configuration management, such as creating data sources, JMS quests, etc. These configuration steps will be deprecated in a future release and the IBM Middleware Configuration for WebSphere plug-in should be used for all configuration related activities.
This plugin also supports WebSphere Application Server capabilities that were incorporated from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise (WVE) such as application editioning and dynamic clustering.
Steps in this plugin that are identified as OBSOLETE have been replaced by steps available in the Middleware Configuration for WebSphere Application Server plugin. There are no current plans to enhance or remove these steps within this plugin.
Platform Support:
- This plug-in is supported to run on all operating systems supported by the IBM UrbanCode Deploy agent.
- This plug-in is supported to run against WebSphere Application Server v7 or higher. This also supports WebSphere Virtual Enterprise version 7 or higher.
- This plugin requires UrbanCode Deploy 6.1 or later. If you are running UrbanCode Deploy 6.0 - 6.0.1.x, please use the links below to download the latest version of 72.
- 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.
- Auto-discovery does not make use of user impersonation settings.
Description
The IBM Middleware Configuration for WebSphere (MCWAS) plug-in extends the capabilities of the Deploy server to allow for the management of WebSphere Application Server (WAS) configurations. Configurations are stored as a template, which is a set of XML files that can be generated automatically by analyzing an exemplar WAS environment or created/modified using an XML editor. With the MCWAS plug-in, you can create configuration templates for the Cell, Cluster, Node and Server scopes. The following scenarios are supported:
- Tokenization of configuration to account for environment specific differences (e.g. DataSource URLs, etc.)
- Deploy a configuration template to a specified WAS cell and scope. This overwrites the existing configuration, ensuring it matches the “golden master” template
- Promote a configuration across your SDLC using Application Snapshots
- Rollback a configuration
- Configuration drift detection. Detailed comparison of a configuration template against a live WAS target. This can be scheduled to run periodically to detect intentional or unintentional changes that have been made to a WAS target so an informed decision can be made to rollback or update the golden master template.
- Support for layered templates (note - minimum UrbanCode Deploy version 6.0.1.4 required for this capability)
- Export of all configuration data to WAS in a single transaction
- Supply custom jython files which can be used to run custom code when running import and export of WAS data.
- Generate Template – analyses an existing WAS target, reading it’s configuration and storing it as a configuration template in a Component version
- Configure WebSphere Application Server – applies a configuration template to a target WAS scope. The specific target is specified by mapping Components to Resources and Resources to Application Environments
- Compare WebSphere configuration – compares a specified version of a configuration template against a live WAS environment. If the configuration matches, the process succeeds, if a difference is detected, the process fails and an email notification can be sent.
- This plugin does not currently support a WebSphere Application Server installation with BPM installed
- If managing WebSphere Application Server on Windows platform, please make sure the agent install path is without any spaces
- (Temporary) Unable to use On Demand Router Cluster and On Demand Server with WAS 8.5 and later due to an issue in wsadmin.
