CI/CD for Documentum xCP

in Documentum #1

HI all,
We are planning on using Jenkins as the orchestrator for automating the overall Documentum xCP deployments ( configuration).
Also, we are intending to use Nexus 3 for storing artifacts and utilising native xCP maven to build and packaging and xDP for doing the deployment.

Is there a preferred set of DevOps toolset for Documentum xCP
Also, is there an easy way to invoke the build packaging ( which is normally done through the IDE) from Jenkins directly

Kind Regards
Shan

    Yes while searching, did find this yesterday.
    This was when xMS was there but now we have xCP with xDA, how can this be achieved...

    Application created in xCP is basically a maven project.
    So, in Jenkins, you can use maven commands to do cli import, package, deploy to target environments.
    No need of any external dependencies/plugins.

    few examples:
    8. Run the mvn xcp-import-project:run command to import projects to your local machine.
    9. Navigate to the newly created POM file at command prompt and run the following command:
    mvn install "-DdesignerPath="
    Maven creates .WAR and .config.xml files for the application created using xCP Designer.

    please refer to page 476 in
    OpenText™ Documentum™ xCelerated Composition Platform Designer Help 16.4.1 User Guide.pdf

    Last time I checked, xDA was just a "renamed" xMS with some additional logic, all the classes from xMS are there and it's what xDA uses, so it should work (or be easily adaptable)
