The server provides services such as the user interface used to configure application
deployments, the security service, and the artifact repository, among others. Installing the
server involves specifying configuration information for the server, such as the ports that
the server uses.
Before you begin
The following table addresses some build-specific
information that you must know while installing a specific version.
| Affected version |
Notes |
| 8.1.0 |
- Removed Apache Derby as the default database
- Apache Derby is deprecated and no longer shipped with HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy). You must not use Derby for evaluation and in a
production environment.
|
| 8.0.1.3 |
- Replaced FlexNet licensing with the HCL Licensing system
- The FlexNet licensing system is deprecated and replaced with the HCL
Licensing system. You can configure Deploy to use HCL Local License Server or Cloud License Server.
- See Licensing and Applying HCL licenses to agents.
To set up your license server, refer to the HCL Licensing
documentation.
- New software download location
- You can download the installation files of version 8.0.1.3 and all
upcoming versions from the My HCLSoftware (MHS) portal.
|
| 7.3.2.8 |
- Replaced FlexNet licensing with the HCL Licensing system
- The FlexNet licensing system is deprecated and replaced with the HCL
Licensing system. You can configure Deploy to use HCL Local License Server or Cloud License Server.
- See Licensing and Applying HCL licenses to agents.
To set up your license server, refer to the HCL Licensing
documentation.
- New software download location
- You can download the installation files of version 7.3.2.8 and all
upcoming versions from the My HCLSoftware (MHS) portal.
|
| 7.3.2 |
- Removal of old plug-in versions stored by the agent
- When you upgrade and start an agent, the agent communicates
with the server and looks for any plug-ins downloaded
earlier. If any such plug-ins are found, they are removed
from the system, and a new version of those plug-ins are
downloaded automatically.
With this change, security
vulnerabilities might be removed from agents that had
old insecure versions of plug-ins on them.
|
| 7.2.3 |
- About 7.2.3.0.ifix01 and 7.2.3.1.ifix01
- As part of Deploy 7.2.3 and 7.2.3.1, the Windows service name for
agents are no longer customizable by end-users. The name
is auto-generated by the Deploy server. Note that the naming convention of
auto-generated Windows service name does not follow the
naming convention standards. The versions 7.2.3.0.ifix01
and 7.2.3.1.ifix01 generates the Windows service name
correctly.
Note that the ifixes do not provide the
ability for users to define the service name. The
name is auto-generated with the correct
format. Do not upgrade Windows agents with the
now pulled-back 7.2.3 and 7.2.3.1 versions. You must
use the ifix releases only. If you have already
upgraded your Windows agents with original releases,
you should reach out to support to find out how to
remediate it.
|
| 7.1.2.10 |
- Server/agent version mismatch
- An inconsistency exists between the versions of the Deploy server and agent installation files. However, the version
mismatch, server 7.1.2.10 and agent 7.1.2.9, does not cause
any installation or upgrade problems.
|
| 7.1.0 |
- Server logging file update
- Logging information is now written to
deployserver.out instead of the
stdout file.
