[SOLVED] Getting current branch in IBM ODM Decision Center

Getting current branch in IBM ODM Decision Center

Is it possible with the Decision Center API to get the name of the current branch? I would like to implement a dynamic domain plugin that updates domains by querying from a database. But I want to be able to specify local, test, stage and prod database connection details. Because we are sharing a single decision center instance for test, stage and prod, the project branch seems like the best option for targeting the database. Is it possible to determine what branch I am in when I trigger the DomainValueProvider?

Solution

You can get determine the current branch by calling the getWorkingBaseline method on IlrSession:

private String determineBranch(IlrSession ilrSession) {
    IlrBaseline currentBranch = ilrSession.getWorkingBaseline();
    String branch = currentBranch.getName();
    log.info( "currentBranch is " + branch);
    return branch;
}

If you are implementing an IlrDefaultSessionController, IlrSession will be provided if you override the setSession(IlrSession session) method. From elsewhere, you can get the session from ManagerBean:

protected IlrSession getIlrSession() {
    ManagerBean bean = ManagerBean.getInstance();
    return bean.getSession();
}

Good luck!
