Clio release 6.1.0.12 provides a command to create a state manifest for the Creatio instance and store the configuration of web services and feature states.

clio save-state "D:\manifest\myinstance-creatio-manifest.yaml" -e MyInstance

Storing this file in Git can be used to control instance changes. In future releases, the manifest file will store sys-settings values, applications, and packages, and it will also clone environment settings to clean Creatio instances.

P.S: Also the ability to work with HotFix mode was added to Clio commands. To enable/disable it use the following command

# To enable hot-fix mode for a package  
clio pkg-hotfix <PACKAGE_NAME> true -e <ENVIRONMENT_NAME> 
 
# To disable hot-fix mode for a package 
clio pkg-hotfix <PACKAGE_NAME> false -e <ENVIRONMENT_NAME> 

Clio release 6.1.0.8 extends the ability to configuare your Creatio environments in a GitOps manner. Now, you can configure the URL address of WebServices in the manifest file.

environment:
  url: https://production.creatio.com
 
webservices:
  - name: GoogleAnalytics
    url: "https://google.ca"
  - name: FaceBookAPI
    url: "https://facebook.com/api"
 
app:
# list of applications
 
app-hubs:
# list of application stores
 
settings:
# list of sys-settings and value
 
features:
# list of features

Also, we extend the Clio commands and add abilities to see all web services, and their addresses

clio get-webservice-url -e <environment-name>

Improvements: From release 6.1.0.8, you can set the working directory for Clio via the Environment variable CLIO_WORKING_DIRECTORY. 

<your workplace>/tasks/set-clio-working-directory "c:\Temp\ClioWorkDir"

It helps avoid problems with CI\CD pipelines when you can't access default temp directories.

COMING SOON: In the next release, a "save-configuration-to-manifest" command will be released

P.S Managing SysSettings and WebServiveUrls via manifest coming soon

Hello everyone! We are glad to share with you that Clio released version 6.1.0.1, which started to control the change management process for Creatio users.

Now you can store the configuration for Creatio environment in the yaml file

environment:
  url: https://myapp.creatio.com
 
apps:
  - name: CrtCustomer360
    version: "1.0.1"
    apphub: MyAppHub
  - name: CrtCaseManagment
    version: "1.0.2"
    apphub: MyAppHub
  - name: MrktAppollo
    version: "1.0.2"
 
app_hubs:
  - name: MyAppHub
    path: "//file.shareserver/MyAppHub"

This configuration file describes the desired states for the Creatio environment. Clio will compare the current and desired states and apply necessary changes (install/update applications from local AppHub, remove applications). You can register your several AppHubs in one configuration file.

To apply changes to the environment, use the following command

clio apply-manifest C:\my-configuration.yam -l user-p pwd

This approach implements best practices for managing and change logging.

In next releases will be added support for configuration:

  - sestem settings

  - feature states

  - web service base urls

  - packages

P.S:  Clio provides commands for versioning and publishing your composable applications to AppHub.

Clio release version 6.0.2.51 provides new features for setting versions to Composable applications in CI\CD pipelines. 

Feature compatible with clio workspace code structure:

clio set-app-version [WORKSPACE_FOLDER_NAME] -v 1.0.1

Also, this command can be used for the single package with application description in cases when not used clio workspace structure

clio set-app-version -f [PACKAGE_FOLDER_PATH] -v 1.0.2

P.S: This feature and publish-app command fully cover all cases for versioning artifacts of composable applications. 

Clio release version 6.0.2.49 and Clio explorer version 2.0.59 provide functionality to get info about the Creatio system. It contains the product name, core version, type of database, runtime platform, and customer ID. It can be helpful for identifying installation or updating packages 

Also, it is available in command line mode

clio get-info -e ENVIRONMENT_NAME

Required update Clio API on the environment to version 2.0.0.28

The new release of clio v.6.0.2.43 and clio explorer version 2.0.58 provides a new exciting feature to deploy the latest version of Creatio available in the storage.

You need to create local or network storage  with following structure:

And add path to storage in clio config file:

It can be local or network path.

You can open the settings file via clio explorer ui or the command

clio cfg open

P.S: Deploy latest releases from storage also available via console command, detailed information about other option available at the following link

clio deploy-creatio --product studio --db pg --platform net6

Clio version 6.0.2.41 and Clio Explorer version 2.0.56 provide functionality for easy organizing and distribution of your composable applications. Now, you can download applications to the local file system from your registered environments.

This command creates a workspace for selected applications, which can later be deployed to any of your Creatio environments.

Clio Explorer provides convenient control for all workspaces stored in one directory.

Therefore, you can:

- link the local file system to git or another version control system

- map workspace to Creatio development instance

- deploy on-demand new versions to QA or Production environments

- easily combine all your applications on new environments in the cloud or local

Clio release version 6.0.2.38 provides the functionality to set up a BASE URL for one Web Service on different environments (development, testing, etc). Use the following command

clio set-webservice-url WEB_SERVICE_NAME BASE_URL -e ENVIRONMENT_NAME

It can be helpful to use in automatic testing pipelines. 

P.S Also, we provide a new stable release of Clio Explorer version 2.0.55
