Question: How to use ALOps External Deployer with PTE when running Multi-Tenant On Premises

[petertijsma]

I cannot find out how to use the External Deployer weh nusing Multi-Tenant On Premises.

Setting the Tenant doesn't work (also the Tooltip says it's only for Saas), but there is no other place to setup which tenant to deploy to.

Yaml:

steps:
- task: Hodor.hodor-alops.ALOpsExtensionAPI.ALOpsExtensionAPI@1
  displayName: 'ENL Batch Publish PrintVis Apps'
  inputs:
    interaction: batch
    api_endpoint: 'https://og-xxxxxxx.xx.xxxxxxxx.nl:31003/CLIENT-MT/api'
    authentication: basic
    username: '$(og.serviceaccount)'
    password: '$(og.serviceaccountpassword)'
    bccompany: 'L01 xxxxx xxxxx'
    artifact_path: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)\_Third Party Apps\Apps\OGDT Core Dependencies\NovaVision'
    checksecondsdelay: 10
    maxtries: 10
  continueOnError: true
  condition: succeededOrFailed()

Error in DevOps:

Adding:

azure_tenant_id: ENL

Does not make any difference. Gives the same error

However, when I run the Get manually with ?tenant=ENL added, It does give me the requested result:

Thanks in advance

Do you want to push your PTE globally, or in one single Tenant?

We are working hard on the ALops.ExternalDeployer - we'll see if we can add the multitenant supportability.

For now: did you look into working with the alternative name? Than you might be able to do it already... 🤔 (just a hunge)

[petertijsma]

Currently, we want to deploy Per Tenant (in order to phase the deployments per company), but of course a setting to choose Global or Tenant scope would be better :-)

"For now: did you look into working with the alternative name? Than you might be able to do it already..." Ahh crap! Yes, will check this too!

[waldo1001]

Well - we'll check what we can do - we're a bit dependent on the automation-api as well ..

Coming back on this one again...

I've tried publishing through using the alternative name, but still without luck. Can't wrap my head around it :-(

Although the Get companies works fine:

Maybe this helps...
