Hi Ben,
We don't (can't) add the policies in the bar file as the property values are environment dependent (test, acceptance, production have different values). The environment dependent properties are variables that are substituted in the release pipeline before being deployed. During the release the policy projects are copied to a temporary parent directory and deployed with ibmint deploy input-path. The policy.descriptor is already needed if the project only contains a monitoring profile, otherwise it is not recognized as a policy project by the runtime.
With this setup we no longer have the need for policies per environment at build time, the environment specific properties are set in the release pipeline.
BTW, that is great with the ibmin command, we can specify both a bar file and a directory with deployable artifacts in a single deploy command.
Regards,
Jan
Hi Jan, Could you please supply a detailed description of the artifacts you were using (just one policy in the policy project? Which type? Any other applications, libraries etc in the same workspace / BAR?), or an example project interchange file. Could you also specify the exact ibmint command you were executing please? The reason for requiring these details is to better understand the part of the release pipeline where you feel things are constrained by the built time file ... If you have a BAR file containing a policy then there is no need for the .project file, so my suspicion is that this use case somehow involved going direct from source to server perhaps? Or some other complicating factor? Having a more detailed specific description would enable us to comment directly on whether an enhancement is needed here.
