Is there a way to deploy to Linux/Unix servers in HRefresh without granting read/write permissions to the entire folder?
We do not need Harvest to own an entire folder and its subfolders with their files to deploy a single file.
CA Harvest Software Change Manager 14.x
HRefresh executes on FULL VIEW and ACTIVE VIEWS - these are complete views and do not have a provision to limit to a single file.
HRefresh also internally uses hsync to update or deploy the files onto remote machines.
See the example below on how to connect to an agent from workbench
Once connected the agent will look like this as an example shown below.
5. This agent may already be connected and used by the workbench process executing the HREFRESH. We will reuse the same location and the same files deployed earlier, but will be able to SYNCHRONISE only 1 file which you intend to deploy onto that machine
6. Now navigate to the FILE from the workbench which you want to deploy to the remote machine
7. The process 'Check out for Browse' looks like below
8. The SYNCHRONISE action will sync on the file which has changes. This will work only on the file you intend to deploy. The agent name and 'Check out to location' will remain the same as used in the HREFRESH directory. We are reusing the HREFRESH DEPLOYED FOLDERS and FILES, but will update only ONE intended file through this new process. The change applies to only one file and the complete FOLDER permissions will not be changed
NOTES:
1. You can use this process whenever you intend to work on only on a couple of files or a single file and restrict the use
2. As always, the regular CHECK OUT process calling HREFRESH will be in place
