Deployment Info

[Chris Kelleher]

During the deployment stage, the 'progress window' gives you a nice amount
of detail about what versions of objects are being deployed.

This info would be very useful to include a part of the actual deployment -
especially if this could be produce automatically.

Does anyone know a way of extracting this information at deployment time
(i.e. for generating Deployment Release Note information). I notice that,
sadly, the deploy hooks in rtp_evnt do not have any parameters to identify
the what deployment is being carried out (i.e. workspace, deployment
number).


Thanks in advance.

Simon, for object version information, run a release report. Make sure you
select version info and enter the release range of your deployment.

Dont forget this report can also be modified.

Simon,

The following is an extract of some code from a routine that we use to do a
similar job. You could modify it to suit your needs. Hope it helps.

/* run from rtb_evnt.p when DEPLOY hook is fired */

DEFINE SHARED BUFFER Brtb_site FOR rtb.rtb_site.
