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 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
