Is there a power-up with a calendar view across multiple baords and the ability to share that view?
Asked by Helen D.:

We have a lot of boards with a lot of cards and dates. So we need a good overview across all boards of everything that is happening or needs to be done during the week.

Trello's calendar view is a bit confusing because it doesn't have colors or anything. It is difficult to read everything there. I have already discovered Planyway (with calendar week as columns and the baords as rows, see picture), but unfortunately we can't share this view with guests.

Do you know maybe a tool, with a very good overview and the possibility to share the view?

Thanks in advance for the help!  
Helen

There's definitely some options available, and can provide some info below:

**Trello Free:**

* We have the [Calendar Power-up](https://trello.com/power-ups/55a5d917446f517774210011) which provides an individual board based Calendar View. It shows cards with due dates set.
* If you wanted to view all boards in 1 view, you could make use of the feature within it that lets you sync individual board calendars into a Third Party Calendar solution like Google Calendar, as outlined in [this doc](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/using-the-calendar-power-up/#View-all-of-your-boards--x27--calendars-on-one-external-calendar).

**Trello Premium:**

* Trello Premium has 2 built in Calendar views:
  * [Individual board calendar view](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/calendar-view/)
  * [Workspace calendar view](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/workspace-calendar-view/)
* Individual is an improved version of what's in the Calendar Power-up, with the addition of checklist items with due dates displaying as events.
* Workspace calendar view allows you to pull in cards with due dates defined from up to 20 boards from a Workspace at once and see all events in one single Calendar view. This might be what you're after!

Definitely would recommend checking out Workspace calendar view and seeing if this fits your needs! :) You can start a 14 day free trial (no credit card required) at this link: <https://trello.com/en/free-trial>.

Let me know how things go!

Bamboo plan scheduling
Asked by Hanen Fredj:

Hello,

I need your help please.. My question is :

Is it possible to schedule a bamboo plan execution basing on:

* The day(the plan should be executed **from Monday to friday only**)
* the dependence on a second plan ( my plan should start **automatically** when the execution of the other one is finished and it's**result is pass**)

Thanks for your help.  


Answers:
author: Steffen Opel _Utoolity_
body: Both variations are available options for [triggering builds](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/triggering-builds-289276897.html):

1. You can achieve scheduled plan execution by means of [Cron-based scheduling](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/cron-based-scheduling-289276907.html):  
   ![](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/files/289276907/Bam40_week.png)
2. You can achieve child plan execution by means of [Setting up plan build dependencies](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/setting-up-plan-build-dependencies-289276887.html).

comments: author: Hanen Fredj
body: Hello Steffen,

thanks for your reply.

Do you mean these two parts?

image2016-3-22 16:4:12.png

If yes, I already tested this..The problem is that, here, I have to specify the hour ..

What I need is to start the plan **automatically** when the one on which it depends is finished.


author: Steffen Opel _Utoolity_
body: Yes, you can use these parts for the scheduled triggering of the (parent) plan the child plan depends on (trigger type 1), and additionally use [plan build dependencies](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/setting-up-plan-build-dependencies-289276887.html) for automatically starting the (child) plan when the (parent) it depends on is finished (trigger type 2). You haven't mentioned whether you have already tried the latter?
How do you specify a tag/sha for the "Source Code Checkout" task?
Asked by Adam Pryce:

We have a situation where we want to specify the tag used for the build. What variable does the Source Code Checkout task use to decide which commit to checkout?


Answers:
author: Victorio Berra
body: Please add a "tag" input box for the "Source Code Checkout" task.

comments: author: cbaldan1
body: I second that.


author: Adam Pryce
body: In the end we had to remove the "Source Code Checkout" task and instead run two command tasks, one to fetch and the other to checkout. These used the system git executable.


author: Alexey Chystoprudov
body: When you run plan you can specify SHA commit.

Choose **Run customised** option at Run dropdown list

comments: author: Adam Pryce
body: Our use case is not for the plan level, but at the stage/task level. This arrises when we cut a release and we need to do follow up work against the tagged release commit. The plan commit is looking at the commit before the release and master is now the commit after the release.

Also, this question is relevant for if we have builds that are not manually triggered.
Elastic Bamboo Windows image missing .NET 4.6, MSTest targets and nuget
Asked by Rob Lang:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Managing your elastic images](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=289277141)*

I need to build my .NET 4.6 application with MSTests and perform a nuget restore (because MSBuild doesn't do it properly). The current Bamboo Windows image does not have any of these things.

Do I need to create my own AMI in AWS and then create a new configuration? I cannot find the Windows *ami-bf02accc* in the list of public images to copy as a starting point. Do I need to start a new image from scratch?


Answers:
author: Rob Lang
body: Hi Daniel, if you have a Jenkins server already then I agree you're best where you are. I too am surprised that Atlassian aren't more up to date (we have JIRA Cloud, Confluence and Github). I wonder if they are having the "deep breath" before .NET Core is finally released and will catch up then with dual build machines etc.


author: Daniel Williams
body: Thanks Rob. We have our own Jenkins server which works ok now. I was hoping that Bamboo would be easier to maintain, esp since we use JIRA and Bitbucket. But if it requires manual setup as well as paying for the AWS machine, I see no point in moving off of Jenkins. Too bad Atlassian is not responsive to this.


author: Rob Lang
body: Hi Daniel, I solved this by creating a new *ami* using the Elastic Bamboo image and updating .NET, adding nuget and build tools. You can then tell Bamboo to use your image. I understand from the utter silence from Atlassian that they do not keep up with .NET or support the images in any way.


author: Daniel Williams
body: Same question - can Atlassian keep up with .net releases? This is very important to us.

how to copy the files to remote server via scp task when the remote path is determined by the build number
Asked by chen, zhen:

I am working with bamboo scp task.

I have some binary files to be copied from local machine to a remote server.

However, the remote path is not fixed and determined by the buildKey and buildNumber.

so I would like to copy files to remote path like this: /home/admin/bamboo_release/${bamboo.buildKey}/${bamboo.buildNumber}

It's better that if this directory not exist in remote server, the scp task can help to create it.

Bit Bucket manually build a merge request
Asked by Wayne Allen:

I have created a Pull Request in a Bit Bucket (well Stash technically) repository to merge a branch name that starts ***Bugfix/...*** into the Master branch. Before I can merge, one successful Build is required.

My Bamboo server has Automatic branch management enabled. However, the Match Name expression does not include branches beginning with ***Bugfix/*** so the branch does not exist in Bamboo and does not automatically build.

Is there a way to force a manual build on my Bugfix branch? Or do I need to rename the branch or, alternatively, fix the Match Name in Bamboo so that Bugfix branches are included?


Answers:
author: Fr?d?ric CORNU
body: Hi,

In the 'branches' tab of your plan's settings, click the 'create plan branch' at the top right corner. Then you can ask Bamboo to detect all available branches on your code repo and manually select the one for which you want a new plan branch created

Bamboo, SSH, cygwin and use of SSH TASK from bamboo on Windows VM
Asked by Jakub Papcun:

Hi Everyone,

I want setup a Virtual Machine (VM) during the run of the Bamboo Plan on Bamboo Remote Agent.

I start the plan, Vagrant starts up VM and I want to use SSH TASK in bamboo to login to this started VM and run some commands. The VM is Windows. It has cygwin installed so that I can log in to Windows VM via SSH.

When I log in via Putty I can use Environment variables I defined in Windows however when I try to use them from SSH TASK in Bamboo I am not able to do so.

I have defined the Environment Variables in the settings of Windows, in the user profile in cygwin, in the general profile script in cygwin. None of this works when I use it via Bamboo.

Is there something I forgot to set up?

Thank you.

<br />

It's an cygwin security feature here's the information:

<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-02/msg00386.html>

I am not sure why it works in Putty, but I would try adding the variables to .profile etc. This way it's more like linux env variable insertion.

<br />

Also if your up to using something new I would use remote Powershelling which would enable you to run most commands in provisioning phase. I prefer using powershell in windows as it supports native functions more than the cygwin. But yeah cygwin should work with local user permissions.

Cron based scheduling and plans dependencies in bamboo
Asked by Hanen Fredj:

Hello,

Actually, we need to run our bamboo plan basing on two things:The actual day and the status of another plan.

If we configure a cron based scheduling and check the trigger condition "only run build if other plans are currently passing" in triggers configuration page for a bamboo plan, would both conditions(the cron and the dependency with the other plan) be checked before running the plan please?

Remote agent Java version
Asked by Priya Rai:

*This question is in reference to Atlassian Documentation: [Supported platforms](https://confluence.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=289276764)*

I recently upgraded Bamboo 5.8.1- 5.9.10 and on my Bamboo server , I have Java 8u66. My remote agent Windows machine is at 8u31. Is it okay to keep agent at this java or 8u66 OR I can keep both 8u31 and 8u66. Please advise. Thanks


Answers:
author: Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]
body: It is okay to keep 8u66. Server Java and agent java version does not need to match, as long as it is a supported version.

And you can have as many java versions as you want in your agent. The agent itself will run only on one of the Java versions but you can add the other versions as capabilities and the builds can use those capabilities.

Handling git-Flow hotfix-branch in Bamboo
Asked by Christian Busch:

Hello everyone,

At our company we use Jira, Bitbucket and Bamboo to make our daily work a lot easier. Our repository is organized in the git-flow schema:

develop-branch = Application code for testing (aka Release Candidate)  
master-branch = Application code running live  
feature-branches = new components based on actual dev-Branch merged back after finish  
hotfix-branches = new hotfixes based on master-branch merged into develop and master after finish

Our versioning system works like the following:

Untitled Diagram.png

Now I'm trying to integrate our structure into Bamboo. I created a plan triggered by changes into the dev-branch containing two stages:

1: Develop - Build develop -\> deploy after finish  
2: (manual) Production - Build master -\> deploy after finish

That works fine with feature Branches. How do I handle hotfix branches? Do I need an additional plan or is it possible to create a single plan to cover the whole process?

Cheers,

Chris

Answers:
author: Divin Honnappa
body: I have automated and implemented a similar structure along with release branches.

It would be helpful if you can provide the type of application you are building (maven, angular/node) and also some more details on how you are building the feature branches.

From what I see, if you're using JIRA to create hotfix and pull requests to manually merge hotfix to master and develop after testing is complete, you don't really need additional plan.

Bamboo feature branch dependency
Asked by Ryan Schaaf:

Hey all I'm trying to figure out the best way to set up bamboo to support our chaotic dependency system. We currently have a lot of shared code in one repository (eg: utils) which supports multiple applicaitons (App A, App B). We use a general gitflow system, so for a new feature (feature/A) we could create branches in both App A and the untils repositories with the same name.

How in bamboo is the easiest way to get the build plans to know that when building App A, if there is a matching branch (feature/A) in utils to use that artifact during the execution, otherwise default to a different version(eg: master).

Hope that makes sense, but outside of writing some shell script that checks the repositories and sets variables in bamboo to then pass during the build process, I'm not sure the easiest way to do this.


Answers:
author: Timothy
body: I think you're better off this way.

Every artifact in your utils should be managed by a repository (e.g. Artifactory). With that, you can write a script to pull the artifact down based on the branch you are executing. You can ever pass the artifact identifier as a variable for the Product A build.

It's much easier this way.

Must Tomcat be needed? Is only Nginx not ok?
Asked by kanluo:

I am installing Bamboo,but it can not work,I installed it according to the documentation.   
<https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/installing-bamboo-on-windows-289276813.html>

Is there any other steps to do except the installing guide?

**1. Check supported platforms**   
OS:windows 10 x64

**2. Check your version of Java**

```
C:\Program Files\Bamboo\bin&gt;java -versionjava version "1.8.0_74"Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_74-b02)Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.74-b02, mixed mode)
```

**3. Check that Windows can find Java**

```
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath
```

**4. Check permissions**

windows admin

**5. Download Bamboo**   
no error

**6. Start Bamboo!**

```
C:\Program Files\Bamboo\bin&gt;start-bamboo.bat /fgBamboo Server EditionVersion : 5.10.2If you encounter issues starting or stopping Bamboo Server, please see the Troubleshooting guide at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Installing+Bamboo+on+WindowsThe JRE_HOME environment variable is not defined correctlyThis environment variable is needed to run this programC:\Program Files\Bamboo\bin&gt;

Finally,access <http://localhost:8085/>

it can not open the page.

I use Nignx only, not use Tomcat.


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: This is slightly confused. Nginx is a web server. Tomcat is an application server that runs applications like bamboo. They can both be used to expose web pages, but they do different things. You can't run Bamboo inside Nginx for example, because it's not an application server.

But, that does not matter much at this point. The error message is clear - it needs a JRE_HOME set correctly to point at a java installation.

Could you try, on the command line:

set JRE_HOME=C:\\root-of-a-java-installation

start-bamboo.bat /fg

Run UI Automation Testing
Asked by Fernando Nacpil:

The flow that I am thinking is that

1. Check out source code
2. Install dependencies - bower
3. Run the server in the agent (mvn tomcut:run)
4. Run the Selenium test
5. Turn off the server

But looking at the mvn tomcut:run, the CI will not stop as it feels like it runs the server on it self and we cannot proceed with the step 4.

What's the best practice here?

Format for "Instant messaging address" on Bamboo user profile?
Asked by JoshMcCullough:

Hi, how can I link Bamboo to my HipChat account? What is the proper format of the "Instant messaging address" field in my Bamboo account?


Answers:
author: Steffen Opel _Utoolity_
body: Update {#toc-hId--1333077588}
-----------------------------

The Bamboo HipChat integration only supports room notifications right now, please watch/vote/comment on the following improvement to raise awareness for this limitation:

* <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-12780>

That being said, here's a workaround that would work for me given the specific use case:

### Workaround via Private HipChat Room {#toc-hId-2041938926}

You could [create a private room](https://confluence.atlassian.com/hipchat/chat-in-rooms-740001121.html#Chatinrooms-Creatingrooms) just for this purpose (say 'josh.bamboo'), with yourselve being the only member. You can then configure any Bamboo plan to send [notification events](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/configuring-notifications-for-a-plan-and-its-jobs-289276973.html#Configuringnotificationsforaplananditsjobs-Notificationevents) for *Failed Builds And First Successful* with the 'Notify' option checked to 'josh.bamboo' - as a result, you (and only you) should get a notification accordingly (you can further [customize the room notification setting](https://blog.hipchat.com/2015/07/13/customizable-room-notifications-now-in-beta-boom/) on the HipChat side of thins, e.g. to 'Loud').

<br />

*** ** * ** ***

Initial Answer {#toc-hId-441929774}
-----------------------------------

The "Instant messaging address" in Bamboo refers to a different type of chat integration based on [XMPP](http://xmpp.org/), the *open standard for messaging and presence* . While [HipChat does in fact support XMPP](https://confluence.atlassian.com/hipchatkb/setting-up-xmpp-jabber-clients-for-hipchat-751436251.html), this is rarely used for Atlassian tools these days and most likely not what you are looking for. Rather, you are probably looking for [Integrating Bamboo with HipChat](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/integrating-bamboo-with-hipchat-289276960.html) so that you *get Bamboo notifications in your chat room for events such as:*
> * when a build passes or fails
> * when you are assigned responsibility for a breaking build
> * when a build you are responsible for has been fixed
> * when a manual stage of a build is ready to be run
> * when a deployment starts, and completes

For more information on how to achieve that, please refer to [Configure Bamboo plans to send notifications to a room in hipchat.com](https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/integrating-bamboo-with-hipchat-289276960.html#IntegratingBamboowithHipChat-ConfigureBambooplanstosendnotificationstoaroominhipchat.com).
How do i change the Quarters on the SLA calendar?
Asked by Tom Thomas:

Under reporting, when i click on SLA success rate and show by 'Past quarter by week' it's showing me Jan 1 - Jan 8 as part of Q4. It should be part of Q1. Am i just mis reading this, or is there a way to adjust this on the SLA Calendar that I'm overlooking?


Answers:
author: Eugenio Onofre
body: Hi [@Tom Thomas](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5403480)

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

In this report, quarter means "last 3 months". So this is why the w/o 1-8/jan is being displayed. Unfortunately, there is no way to change this configuration.

In case you want a more detailed SLA report, I would suggest looking into [Atlassian Analytics](https://www.atlassian.com/platform/analytics/what-is-atlassian-analytics), which provides you a great variety of fields/graphs to interact with.

Please remember to accept this answer in case it helps resolve your question as it can also help other community members in the future.
