Overview

The XL Deploy Matrix extension enables you to know which versions of applications are deployed.

Requirements

Tested only on XL Deploy version 9.5. Should work on previous versions.

Note: XLD version should not be lower than lowest supported version. See https://support.xebialabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003299946-Supported-XebiaLabs-product-versions.

Installation

• Copy the latest JAR file from the releases page into the XL_DEPLOY/plugins directory.
• Restart the XL Deploy server.

Configuration

Three new items are available in the Configuration section in the matrix menu:

• category

A category is used to categorize an environment. Set a name, then associate a category to the environment you want to be displayed in the report. The category name is used for the header of the report.

• configuration

A configuration is used to order categories (see previous point). As per version 1.0.0, create only one configuration (only the first configuration item will be used.)

• applicationSet

An applicationSet is a component that keep several applications as one configuration component. You normally do not create applicationSet manually. An applicationSet is created when you use the "save" button in the Matrix report.

• Select applications using the dropdown select.
• Press the "Generate" button to build the report.
