Interwoven TeamSite
When we import an xml file even if it's a new file or a file we want to overwrite the template is messed up and we cannot restore it. So if we would like to import some changes we have made on your local machine to Teamsite we cannot overwrite the xml file from our local machine with the existing one because the template will be messed up .It is possible import a xml files from local machine and keep the fields?
Just download the file make your changes and upload it.Savein local system and then upload it there will not be any issue.

I'm still trying to create my first Azure Pipeline CI / CD. My CI part is working fine, my CD is also working except I cannot apply my Web.config file transformations.
Let me first show you what I have then I will ask several questions below. The build with generated artifact. I also copy manually my 3 config files.
Wen I open my WebAPI.zip file here is the path and content:
Here is my pipeline project
And the details of my staging phase:
When I run this full pipeline my config file is never transformed but I get no error. I just get a
2019-05-02T03:27:23.5778958Z ##[warning]Unable to apply transformation
for the given package.
I also have the debug log with full information but it doesn't give me much information for now. I will add it here later.
Questions
Azure Pipeline File Transformation is not working. Why?
Is it because the File Tranform task only look for config file in zip?
Is this system then just ignoring my tranformation file in root of artifact?
So I think my manual copy of config transformation file is obsolete?
How can I then add my transformation file into my zip?
In my csproj I already set all my tranformation files on Build action content, copy always, this is ignored too, is it normal?
EDIT 1
One more important question: Is it possible to simply ask the deployment system to ignore or not deploy my config file. It is not something I want to deploy every time. I like the idea I have to do it manually or from alternative deployment system. With this solution I can have some other issues if I save a version or build variable in my config file. Then is it possible to modify a already deployed file after deployment? I'm looking for workaround here. Example: I read a value in my existing config file then I increment this value by one or simply replace this value with another?
EDIT 2
I'm now able to add the config file to the WebApi.zip package on root and/or in bin folder. I followed the comment of Shayki Abramczyk bu using the xml transform of deploy. Still not working. And the errors messages are so poor. Seriously Microsoft? Is your transformation system even working? I see question similar to mine everywhere.
And now I get
The file is correct, transform works fine from Visual Studio Publish tool. I really think the xml transform tool from Microsoft in Azure is just not working.
EDIT 3
Is it possible to issues from my transformmations come from NLog because of the name and then special rule I apply on it?
I have a collection of web service and sites all installed on the same machine which share settings so I have put them in an external config file one folder above the application folders such as below.
<appSettings file="../common.config"/>
I see that with Config Transforms I can change individual values within this section had my settings been inside the appSettings block but is it possible to change the file attribute itself?
<appSettings file="../common_release.config"/>
or
The config transforms are actually applied by Visual Studio upon building a deployment package; so there is no *_release* or *_debug* version in the output.
Of course, you could use what ever files you want for external configuration.
I'm new to ruby ... and shoes... and programming but here is my prob:
I made a timer which puts the timed amount into a txt file as a log. It also keeps an all time running total in a separate txt file. It works as I want it to...
I tried packaging it:
If I package the rb file it doesn't work, it will only work if I package the entire folder including the txt files.
This working copy seems to operate without txt files (they are somehow built-in. Is there a way to package this so I still have access to the associated txt files. (maybe has something to do with the paths...)
thanks.
Shoes Packager behaviour is sometimes ugly. I think you're using windows, so i'll try to explain what seems to happen:
You have a bundled Shoes-App (a standalone .exe file). Every Time you start it by double clicking, it will extract itself in a new temp dir (located under c:\tmp\tempFileDirectory). So, it is a NEW temporary Directory, everytime!
The current path also is set to this tmp directory, which also includes the txt files you bundled into the app, in it's original state. If you change the content of the files during the app execution, and restart the app, your changes are gone, because in the new created tmp dir, there is a fresh copy of the original txt files. so far, it is a BAD idea to put your data files (txt in your case, or SQLITE-database-files, or config files, ...) into the bundles app.
Better way:
create a "hidden" folder (folder's name should start with an ".") in the user's home folder. On windows it should be something like "c:\Users\YourName". Create there everything you need, this directory won't be temporal, so you can access it everytime without problems. This should general be a better solution when programming desktop stuff, not just while using shoes.
I have created an installer project in VS2008 and need to supply a settings/parameters file along with the .msi/exe file; is this possible? The settingsfile will basically contain some information that is needed in the configuration and our different clients can control the settingsfile.
I've posted some code we use to insert an updated config file to an existing MSI before our customers deploy across the network. Code at Simplest solution to replace a tiny file inside an MSI?
I've got a Setup & Deployment Project in VS2005. One of the files that i'm installing is a SQLite data file.
I'm about to release a new version for the software, but i found that if i run the update on existing installation it overwrites the data file.
I've got an updated data file in the setup project so it's newer than already installed, but i don't want to overwrite it.
I've tries setting the Permanent property for that file to True, but to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Ok, here's a workaround that i've used:
In my setup project I've renamed my blank database file from Database.db to Database-blank.db.
In my app i'm checking if Database.db is missing and copying Database-blank.db to Database.db if it is.
then just load existing Database.db
This way i can ensure the local copy of the data file (Database.db) does not get replaced by newer versions of the software.
In MSI, the best way would be to make a record in the Upgrade table, determining whether this is an upgrade installation, and setting a property if it is. Then put the data file in a component, and place a condition on the component. Alternatively, make an entry in the AppSearch table, checking for the presence of the file (through the DrLocator table).
I don't know whether a Setup & Deployment project supports any of this. So as a fallback, install the file with a different name, and then create a custom action that copies over the file conditionally.
Because VS2005 setup when upgrading a program first it remove the original installed instance
and then install a new one, so for that the file will be removed every time.
to avoid replacing or overwriting the file I suggest the following:
1- mark the file as readonly in the setup project.
2- mark the file as permanent in the setup project.
now after upgrading the file it will not be overwriten, but your application can't deal with this file because it's readonly, so in the startup of your application check if the datafile is readonly uncheck it.
