Thread: Question about automating builds with the bundler utility

Question about automating builds with the bundler utility Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Posted: 14 Sep 06 1:02 PM

I am working on a project where we are developing three separate applications for a client. The other two applications are .net 2 and our sales logix platform is 6.2.3. We would like to automate builds from dev to testing systems as much as possible. Obviously this is not a problem with the .net apps, but it's a bit more tricky with SalesLogix (We are doing a web client development). Does anyone know if it is possible to use command line options to automate the creation of webdata bundles? If not, does anyone have suggestions on how to go about automating the build process as much as possible?

Appreciate any help!

In general, web customizations can be deployed via custom means since they are primarily database rows and physical files. If you want to push a dev instance into a qa/prod instance for example, you can probably just replace the contents of the following tables:

sysdba.SLXWEBACTION
sysdba.SLXWEBALIAS
sysdba.SLXWEBQUERY
sysdba.SLXWEBTEMPLATE

You will also want to copy over the files under your dev web site to your qa/prod web site.

Things get more complicated if you want to do selective deployment, as in the case that you cant be sure your dev instance should overwrite 100% of the target system. You can still acheive it will SQL and file copying but it will take more planning.

Also, if you are using overrides you will want to look into the sysdba.SLXWEBOVERRIDE table. It uses foreign keys to the users and teams so this may pose some challenges.

Thanks Timmus. I think it might be possible to build some DTS packages incorporating your suggestion, in conjunction with an automated file copy for the HTML files in order to achieve his.

Cheers
