You might want to change the behavior of the IBM Quick Deployer by making changes to scripts in IBM UrbanCode Deploy components. To modify the script artifacts used by an UrbanCode Deploy component, you must have access to the full set of artifacts.
This wiki explains how to use scripts supplied in the Quick Deployer package to do this task.
To update an UrbanCode Deploy Component's artifacts, perform the following tasks:

• Export the current version of the UrbanCode Deploy Component (see section Download UCD Component artifacts).
• Expand the artifact.zip and replace or modify the files as appropriate (see section Expand and update the artifacts).
• Import a new version of the UrbanCode Deploy component (see section Upload new UCD Component version).

Download UrbanCode Deploy component artifacts

1. Expand the IBM Quick Deployer installation package into a temporary folder (e.g. /media/QD).
2. Ensure that the following file is present:
   • componentVersionDownload.sh
3. Assign execute permission to the {agent install dir}/agent/opt/udclient/udclient script.
4. Assign execute permission to the componentVersionDownload.sh script.
5. Ensure JAVA_HOME is set. If not, export JAVA_HOME={location of your jre} (e.g. /usr/lib/jvm/jre).
6. Ensure UCDCLIEXE is set. If not, export UCDCLIEXE={location of your udclient exe} (e.g. /opt/ibm-ucd/agent/opt/udclient/udclient).
7. Execute the componentVersionDownload.sh script.
   The script expects five arguments:
   • USERNAME =UCDAdminUserName
   • USERPASSWORD =UCDAdminUserPassword
   • UCDSERVER =UCDURL (e.g. https://UCDHostName:8443)
   • COMPONENTNAME =the name of the component that will be downloaded (e.g. Rational_QD_Application_602)
   • COMPONENTVERSION =the version of the component that will be downloaded (e.g. 6.0.2.0)
     
     

         cd /media/QD
         chmod 755 {agent install dir}/agent/opt/udclient/udclient
         chmod 755 componentVersionDownload.sh
         export JAVA_HOME={location of your jre}
         export UCDCLIEXE={agent install dir}/agent/opt/udclient/udclient
     
         sh componentVersionDownload.sh USERNAME=adminuser USERPASSWORD=adminpassword UCDSERVER=https://UCDHostName:8443 COMPONENTNAME=Rational_QD_Application_602 COMPONENTVERSION=6.0.2.0 | tee console_versionDownload.log
         >> deleted console text <<
         SUCCESS [componentVersionDownload.sh]: successfully downloaded scripts from !UrbanCode Deploy
         

8. Check that file COMPONENTNAME_COMPONENTVERSION_artifacts.zip has been downloaded (e.g. Rational_QD_Application_602_6.0.2.0_artifacts.zip).
   
   

Expand and update the artifacts

1. Confirm that the artifacts.zip file was downloaded (e.g. Rational_QD_Application_602_6.0.2.0_artifacts.zip).
2. Expand the artifact.zip file to a temporary folder (e.g. /media/QD/tempDownload).
3. Update any existing files as required:
   Add any new files.
   Delete any obsolete files.
   
   

Upload new UrbanCode Deploy Component version

1. Expand the IBM Quick Deployer installation package into a temporary folder (e.g. /media/QD).
2. Ensure that the following file is present:
   • componentVersionImport.sh
3. Assign execute permission to the {agent install dir}/agent/opt/udclient/udclient script.
4. Assign execute permission to the componentVersionImport.sh script.
5. Ensure that JAVA_HOME is set. If not, export JAVA_HOME={location of your jre} (e.g. /usr/lib/jvm/jre).
6. Ensure that UCDCLIEXE is set. If not, export UCDCLIEXE={location of your udclient exe} (e.g. /opt/ibm-ucd/agent/opt/udclient/udclient).
7. Execute the componentVersionImport.sh script.
   The script expects six arguments:
   • USERNAME =UCDAdminUserName
   • USERPASSWORD =UCDAdminUserPassword
   • UCDSERVER =UCDURL (e.g. https://UCDHostName:8443)
   • COMPONENTNAME =the name of the component that will be updated (e.g. Rational_QD_Application_602)
   • COMPONENTVERSION =the new version of the component that will be updated (e.g. 6.0.2.1)
   • BASEFOLDER =the base folder containing the updated artifact scripts (e.g. /media/QD/tempDownload)
     
     

         cd /media/QD
         chmod 755 {agent install dir}/agent/opt/udclient/udclient
         chmod 755 componentVersionImport.sh
         export JAVA_HOME={location of your jre}
         export UCDCLIEXE={agent install dir}/agent/opt/udclient/udclient
     
         sh componentVersionImport.sh USERNAME=adminuser USERPASSWORD=adminpassword UCDSERVER=https://UCDHostName:8443 COMPONENTNAME=Rational_QD_Application_602 COMPONENTVERSION=6.0.2.1 BASEFOLDER=/media/QD/tempDownload | tee console_versionImport.log
         >> deleted console text <<
         SUCCESS [componentVersionImport.sh]: new component version including scripts added to !UrbanCode Deploy
         

     
     

Confirm that the update happened

1. Open the component version after the script is executed successfully. You should see that the newer version is added to the component.
   
   
   
   
2. Click the Compare button to see the differences between the two versions.
   
   
   
   

Update fixed component versions

NOTE: If you previously fixed the Rational_QD_x component version that is used by the Install Applications application process, update it to this new version. To do so, see Set fixed component versions.
