8 Nov 2019

We recently had two Tridion Developer Summits - one on SDL Connect 2019 and one in Amsterdam this week. On both occasions I more or less used the same two demo scenarios. The slides of SDL Connect 2019 Developer Day can be retrieved over https://www.sdl.com/event/sdl-connect/san-francisco/sessions.html, then select Developer Day at the top and at the bottom you'll find Reducing Deployment Effort and Automating Business Processes with SDL Tridion Docs. (I think you'll have to pass you email, but if you were on the conference we already have that anyway )

Quick edit, the video recordings are now available, the sessions are nearly identical

https://community.sdl.com/product-groups/sdl-tridion-dx/tridion-docs/m/videos/4024 is the recording at SDL Connect 2019
https://vimeo.com/378093731 is the recording at Developer Day in Amsterdam 2019 ... perhaps this recording has the better shared screen quality

This post will hold the source code of the ISDeploy Recipe script sample I demonstrated.

Good news is that soon we will release ISHDeploy 2.0 that will also hold

[PSCredential] overload, so no separate Get-Credential -Credential "InfoShare2" required
COM+ Application changes/restart recovery
Copy-ISHFile improvements, FreePort check if you want to relocate the listening port of back end services
and more

Note that ISDeploy documentation is on https://sdl.github.io/ISHDeploy/ where typical scenarios are explained and it also holds the cmdlet documentation (exactly the same as Get-Help though).

# This should be a script that needs to be run on every CMS WebApp server after vanilla InstallTool (IT). Scope is one server.
# When upgrading or scaling out, the database schema upgrade (DBUT) and Administrator Settings (ISHRemote) is a separate step.
