Can BRMS 6 use Team Foundation Server (TFS) for rule versioning instead of Git ?
Environment
- Red Hat JBoss BRMS (BRMS)
- 6.1.0
Issue
- The requirement is to maintain the rules in
Team Foundation Server TFS
and not on theBRMS 6
internalGit
repository. DoesBRMS 6
come with out-of-the-box support for this kind of requirement or any plugin exists to achieve this requirement? - Can
Git cloning
be done with TFS inBRMS 6
?
Resolution
- If the requirement is that the
Business Central
application would switch-off the use of it's back-endGit repository
and instead would point toTFS
, then it is not possible today. What is possible that users can use manuallygit remote
commands to connect to a third-party remoteGit repository
and then push the contents of the localGit repository
ofBusiness Central
to the third-party remoteGit repository
. The How to configure BRMS 6 server to use remote git repository to store assets ? article has the guidelines to achieve it. There is a proposed Git Hooks feature which is under consideration for giving theBRMS 6
users the flexibility to automatically push theBusiness Central
'sGit artifacts
to remoteGit server
without any manual operation. But that is not possible as ofBRMS 6.1
but it might be rolled out withBRMS 6.2
release (tentatively) . - As you can see in JBoss BxMS 6.3 throws TransportException "authentication not supported" by cloning git repository hosted by Microsoft TFS business-central can not clone an existing
Git repository
hosted inTFS
due to theNTLM
authentication requested from TFS that is not supported for JGit.
