Setup: Local CI/CD Pipelines from scratch

This demo will demonstrate how you can create a ready-to-use deployment for local execution.

Why It's Important?

Video Description:

• Setup local build provider:
• Solution Transfer
• 3 Environments: Dev, Int, Prod

Setup: Execute local pipeline in Azure DevOps

This demo will demonstrate how your local deployment definition can easily be copied to Azure DevOps pipelines.

• Add DevOps Build Provider
• Execute in AzureDevOps

Settings: Configure organization settings

This demo will demonstrate how you can set and adjust the values of organization settings

Why It's Important?

In most of the case, the PROD environment is more restricted than Dev or Int/Test. This might require manual scripting steps or involve third-party tools. Hence, KDTooling Deployment Manager is a one-stop-shop solution so you can fulfil all requirements within one software. 

Key benefits:

• Be a part of the deployment process from day 1
• Dynamic values

Settings: Sync View States to different Environments

Views can be exported/imported OOTB with solutions, but view states (disable/enable) must be maintained manually in each target system, which could be time-consuming in many cases.

Key benefits:

• Disable unused default views
• Improve usability
• Enhance end-user experience
• Save time & efforts from maintaining views manually for each environment

Examples/Use Cases:​

There are many redundant views which rarely used by team or end users. Hence, this feature allows you to keep only necessary views of your choice as leads, accounts, opportunities and so on.

Used Components:

• ImportSolutionStep
• ExportSolutionStep

Settings: Dynamic Suppression of Plugins

In this demo, we’ll showcase how you can temporarily prevent plugins execution during the deployment and automatically enable them again post-deployment.

Key benefits:

• Avoid automatically duplicating data & entities
• Keep your data clean
• Save time & efforts

Examples/Use Cases:​

When deploying portals, it will also create different language entities which is unnecessary sometimes. Therefore, it is recommended to disable the plugin during the deployment.

Used Components:

• DisablePluginsStep
• EnablePluginsStep
