  1. POmsdeploy: Replace provider attribute values during deployment?
    text
    copied!<p>I have a msdeploy question about how to replace attribute values for providers in source manifests during deployment.</p> <h2>Background:</h2> <p>I use msdeploy to create deployment packages during release builds. I want the packages to be suited for deployment to test/staging/production and need to be able to change configuration values deployment-time. One of the things that needs to be done during deployment is creating message queues (msmq), something that msdeploy doesn't support out-of-the-box (technically you could use a script and have msdeploy invoke it, but that's no fun). I've created a custom provider for msdeploy that enables me to create these message queues during deployment (msmq). Which queues to create and a few settings about them gets specified in a sourceManifest.xml file that looks something like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;sitemanifest&gt; &lt;msmq path=".\private$\some.application/SomeService.svc" isTransactional="True" shouldGrantNetworkServicePeekWrite="True" userNameToGrantFullAccess="testdomain\username" /&gt; &lt;!-- more (non-relevant) stuff here --&gt; &lt;/sitemanifest&gt; </code></pre> <p>The content in the source manifest gets embedded into the package itself.</p> <h2>Question:</h2> <p><strong>How can I replace attribute values for providers?</strong></p> <p>Specifically, I need to replace the userNameToGrantFullAccess attribute value. The user that needs full access varies between environments. I have a really hacky work-around that I'm kinda embarrassed about, so I'm hoping there's a neat way to do this. I've tried using msdeploy's <strong>-declareParam/-setParam</strong> and also the -replace command but can't seem to figure out something that works. I was hoping that the <strong>DeploymentObjectAttribute</strong> parameter kind could lead to something.</p> <p>Thanks!</p>
