Viewing all due dates in one place?
Asked by Bradley Irish:

Hi, I have another newbie question, as I attempt to decide whether Trello will work for my projects.

Is there an easy way to view ALL your due dates across the system in one place? I know how to view due dates in a Calendar workspace -- but those only can accommodate 20 boards, and I have more than 20 projects on individual boards, so things inevitably get left out. Is there one central place where I can view due dates for all my projects, across every board I make? This is somewhat vital to making the platform usable for me, as I need to be able to get a birds-eye view of my work. Thanks!


Answers:
author: Gaurav Kataria
body: Bradley, you can create a Dashcard, which will give you the bird's eye view that you are looking for. See this: <https://blog.trello.com/dashcards-powerup>

For example, I have a dashcard that shows me all the cards that are assigned **"to me"** and have a due date **"in the future"** . When I click on it, it shows me details of all my cards (across all my boards) in a table format, which I can easily **sort by due date**.

author: Dreamsuite Mike
body: How do you have your boards set up? I find that a per-project approach isn't necessarily the best way to represent your activities in Trello.

Based on my decade of Trello experience, when coming across a company with lots of concurrent projects, I would create a single project board with all of the projects detailed in a simple structure like:

Not Started \> In Progress \> Completed

Say you had 3 teams working on the 20+ projects, you would have a board per team.

I will call them Team 1, Team 2 and Team 3

On the project board, I would then inside those project cards use checklists to represent the tasks within the projects, as an example, if you had all 3 teams working on Project A, you would have a checklist for Team 1, Team 2 and Team 3. The tasks you put in the checklists would automatically be converted to linked cards on Team boards.  

Automation would tag the items on the Team boards with the Project name so you can easily filter per project and when items get completed on the team board, it would automatically check the item off in the project card.  

This takes you down from 20+ boards to 4 in this example, which you can then use Table or Calendar view to see the dates, which you would filter by project name.
401, Unauthorized error on Bamboo for Valid user
Asked by ashwinithillai:

I am trying to upload artifacts to artifactory server from Bamboo. I have created a build plan with following tasks,

1.Source code checkout  
2.Maven 3 (where a artifact is built)  
3.Artifactory Generic Deploy

The bamboo log says " Artifactory Generic Deploy Task must run as a final Task!" (yes, this has been configured as the final task) ,So when i again view the task configured it shows a " 401 error" (Refer screenshot1) which i think may be related to -<https://www.jfrog.com/jira/browse/BAP-252>

screenshot1.PNG

I have also done the artifactory server configuration,

Also,I tried uploading the same artifact manually from the server using curl which worked fine,  

`curl -u myUser:myP455w0rd! -X PUT ``"`[http://localhost:8081/artifactory/my-repository/my/new/artifact/directory/file.txt"](http://localhost:8081/artifactory/my-repository/my/new/artifact/directory/file.txt)  
`-T Desktop/myNewFile.txt`

Can someone help in resolving the 401 error when configuring the **Artifactory Generic Deploy** task?

This error seems to originate from Artifactory and not from Bamboo, so you should seek help from the Artifactory community.

branches not being automatically created
Asked by Bianca Morton:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Linking to another application](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=360677713)*

I have a rule to create branch plans based on (ADM-\[0-9\]+-.+)\|(LU-\[0-9\]+-.+)

I had a branch named ADM-123-TEST that got a new commit but did not generate the branch plan. I have "Create plan branches for branches detected in the repository" selected for the build plan.

<br />

Why woudl it not create the branch plan and how do i make it so it will create branches when new commits are added to old git branches?


Answers:
author: Bianca Morton
body: Yep. For the most part it works. If you create a new branch it works just fine. What doesn't work is if you commit to an existing branch that is not already in bamboo. I have it set to clean up the branches after 7 days of no commits to save space on the server but if you commit to an existing branch that has been cleaned up, since it's not a new branch and its not still in bamboo, it doesn't do anything ![sad](/html/@C495B4504065515364EB1894F812B34C/images/emoticons/sad.png "sad") We have projects that get put in the backburner and sometimes go a long time without commits only to climb back up the priority list later on and then we can't access it via bamboo since most users don't have permission to update the plan and create the branch manually

comments: author: Mark de Bont
body: Yes, it's a known problem. I can't find the existing ticket number though ;-( It's something I've experienced as well (branches are not recreated).

At the moment I recreate the branch plan manually.


author: Bianca Morton
body: thats what i've been doing but I'm the only one with rights to create branches in bamboo so it interrupts my day when it should be automated. ![sad](/html/@C495B4504065515364EB1894F812B34C/images/emoticons/sad.png "sad")

body: Application links are working and trigger is setup?

comments: author: M Vijay Kumar
body: Hi,

Is that we need to use Bitbucket server for Git so that when branches are created in Git, this would work. Actually i am working on a POC and very new in this area any help provided will be really helpful.

I will try to explain the scenario :

1. we are using GIT as vcs
2. As plan branches will be automatically created for GIT, I am unable to see that in bamboo
3. We are not using any Git solution (bitbuket server) in this case.

I would like to know the reason why we are unable to see the new plan branches when new branches are created in Git.

Thanks,

Vijay

Drop-down list for Plan variable values
Asked by ABA:

How can I define a list of valid vales for a plan variable and display the list when that variable is selected for the plan variable name from a dropdown? Since the variable names can be in the dropdown, I am assuming the values can be defined too. I just haven't found a way yet.

Thanks

How do i restrict a deploy job to be restricted to a single agent? but it can run any build plans that are configured to it?
Asked by Bindu Priya Konidala:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Agents for deployment environments](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=342754133)*

How do i restrict a deploy job to be restricted to a single agent? but it can run any build plans that are configured to it?


Answers:
author: Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]
body: You can install the [Requirement for Deployments](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.bamboo.plugin.requirementtask/server/overview) plugin and then configure the deployment to require a capability that is available only on that agent. It can be a custom capability, which is used just for this purpose.

If you are doing the deployment in a build, use the same custom capability and add it as a requirement under "Requirements" tab in the build job.

If you need a better solution, it has to be some kind of a cron job. You can even have Bamboo cleanup builds, with a script task, but then you need to make sure they run on all the agents!

Can I create "artifacts" in a deployment plan?
Asked by Denno81:

Here is a Use Case.

I have process A, that should insert data into database B, which is consumed by process C.

A --\> B --\> C

Process A and C are big projects that have their own life cycle and have their own Build and corresponding deployment plans. Database B is created in a separate deployment plan. A and C require the existence of B, so the deploy plan for B is triggered by both deploy of A and C. Deploy plan of B is such that it checks for the existence of B and only it doesn't exist, it's created. The sub chain B and C can live without A in a test setup, same for A and B without C.

Phew, hope you can make sense out of that.

So here's the question. As deploy of B is triggered by deploy of A and C, I'd like to have deploy of B to create user accounts in the DB for both processes A and C. No human needs that account, it should only be known by A and C respectively. I can't create credential files in the deploy plan and expose them as artifacts (as deploy plans do not create artifacts). In that case I would be able to pick it up in deploy of A and C, after deploy for B was finished, but alas.

Do you recognize this scenario?

I can't and won't abuse build plans just to get the artifact functionality, as I have separate environments.

I've been thinking of a some kind of external credentials vault that only Bamboo can access, and transfer the credentials between the deploy plans from there.

Any other options?

Thanks!


Answers:
author: Sergey Podobry _Stellarity Software_
body: No, deployment plans can only consume artifacts. In case you ended up with an external credentials storage take a look at [Vault by HashiCorp](https://www.vaultproject.io/).

How to edit permissions in the Bamboo database?
Asked by Jochem Klaver:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Permissions for deployment environments](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=342753929)*

How to edit permissions in the Bamboo database?  

We have a lot of projects, with a lot of builds and a lot of deployments. Now I want to remove the visibility for "logged in users" on all of those, preferably with a query on the database or else I have to go click through all of them in the UI which will probably take me half a day...

**EDIT:**

I found "Bulk edit plan permissions" for plans in the Bamboo administration. So now I still need some way to bulk edit Deployment permissions.

**EDIT:**

I ran the following query to remove all permissions for "Anonymous" and "Logged in users":

```
DELETE FROM ACL_ENTRY WHERE TYPE = 'GRANTED_AUTHORITY'    AND SID IN('ROLE_USER', 'ROLE_ANONYMOUS');
```

No when I check a Deployment plan, then I see that the checkboxes are now unchecked. But when I log in with a test users with absolutely no permissions, I still see all the plans. I guess there's some cache or indexing still hanging somewhere?


Answers:
author: Mark de Bont
body: There is an option "bulk edit plan permissions" to set permissions on multiple or all projects. Would this be helpfull?

Internal server error on bamboo remote agent
Asked by saketh-stash:

We are using bamboo remote agent to do our deployments. The deployments were succeeding since 2 years but recently our admin team did the VM upgrade of the bamboo remote agent VM. From the next day the deployments are failing with "Internal server error". The deployments get queued for hours and we are killing them in between.

How to install developer license for this add-on
Asked by Gail Stewart:

We just recently purchased a license for "Tasks for AWS". The license installed fine on our production instance, but we have two test instances. The developer license is viewed as invalid. I've tried to go to the utoolity sites but they seem to require an Atlassian cloud account that I do not have. We run our products on our own servers.


Answers:
author: Gail Stewart
body: We have never had a problem installing with a developers license before.

I have created an account in the utility support. I created this issue <https://utoolity.atlassian.net/browse/UAA-195>


author: Steffen Opel _Utoolity_
body: @Gail Stewart - thank you for using our add-ons.  

Just like many other vendors, we are running our [Utoolity Add-ons for Atlassian](https://utoolity.atlassian.net/) support site on an Atlassian Cloud instance indeed. Other than using the same hosting platform, all those are independent from [Atlassian's own support](https://support.atlassian.com/) site and each other though, i.e. you need a separate account on each one that you intend to participate on - accordingly, please feel free to [sign-up](https://utoolity.atlassian.net/admin/users/sign-up) on the Utoolity support site to ease the conversation around typical (and potentially sensitive) support questions.  

Regarding your actual question - license management is handled by Atlassian's built-in Universal Plugin Manager (UPM), i.e. other than reacting on the reported state, an add-on is not involved in evaluating the license as such, so two questions in turn:

* :question: Have you used the developer license successfully somewhere at some point already or has it always be considered to be invalid from the get go?
* :question: Is there any more detailed error message concerning the 'invalid' state?
