Getting Started

LemonTree.Connect.Automation is CLI-based version of LemonTree.Connect, which allows an automated import and export of elements and relationships between Jama Connect and Enterprise Architect, to be deployed on build agents for the integration in build pipelines such as Jenkins, TeamCity, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions or similar tools.

How to Install LemonTree.Connect.Automation

There are few general ways to setup LemonTree.Connect.Automation. We recommend a zipped deployment for most use cases.

Zipped Deployment

You can download the latest version from our server via

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://nexus.lieberlieber.com/repository/lemontree-release/LemonTree.Automation/LemonTree.Connect.Jama.Automation_latest.zip -outfile "lta.zip"

Just extract to a folder of your choice and you are ready to go.

Zipped Linux Deployment

Download and unzip on a Linux Machine and run 

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://nexus.lieberlieber.com/repository/lemontree-release/LemonTree.Automation/LemonTree.Connect.Jama.Automation_latest.zip -outfile "lta.zip"

Just extract to a folder of your choice and you are ready to go.

Licensing

Direct license deployment

To get more details how to use a license please refer to the license section.

Remote deployment

Another approach is to supply the license with each command. Just add --license command with the path to your .lic file. In our example repositories we typically store the "License Text" in a Secret and create the .lic file on the fly when we execute the build script.

--license C:\Path\To\your\License.lic

Floating license

Last option is to utilize a central rlm server adding your license(s) to it. This way your agents only request their license during runtime managing check-out and -in automatically. You still need a .lic file locally but with only one line.

HOST (Hostname) ANY (Port)

For more information see Licensing Floating.
