You can use the DeploymentManager.exe command line interface to automate Deployment Manager server tasks.

If you installed Deployment Manager to the default location, you can find DeploymentManager.exe in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Red Gate\Deployment Manager\Tools

Examples using Deployment Manager.exe

In the following examples:

• our Deployment Manager server URL is http://deploymentmanager/

Creating a release

To create a release, at the command prompt, we navigate to the location of DeploymentManager.exe and then run:

deploymentmanager create-release --server=http://deploymentmanager --apiKey=NRN94PPM3DZGHCQSIJRAPWE7TG --project=MyProject

Creating and deploying a release

To create and then deploy the release to our Staging environment, we run:

deploymentmanager create-release --server=http://deploymentmanager --apiKey=NRN94PPM3DZGHCQSIJRAPWE7TG --project=MyProject --deployto=Staging --waitfordeployment

Deploying a release with specific package versions

If we want to deploy the release using a specific version (v1.1.0.1, in this example) of our WidgetDatabase package, we run:

deploymentmanager deploy-release --server=http://deploymentmanager --apiKey=NRN94PPM3DZGHCQSIJRAPWE7TG --project=MyProject --deployto=Staging --packageversion=WidgetDatabase=1.1.0.1 --releaseversion=2.0 --waitfordeployment
