Manual intervention is not available in TFS-2018


I'm trying to find the manual intervention task in the release management of my on Prem- TFS

As per here this is available in TFS 2017. By May it's removed in the latest release?

I searched through the TFS marketplace, but no luck so far.

My TFS Configuration is 16.122.27319.1 (Tfs2018.Update1.RC1)

Could somebody help me to get this task in my release definition?


Solution

  • There are 3 types of phases or ("jobs"):

    • Agent
    • Deployment Group
    • Server (or 'agentless')

    Manual intervention goes in a Server/agentless job. You probably have a standard Agent job in your release definition. You'll need to break your release up into multiple jobs: Agent (up to the point where you need a manual intervention), Server (containing the manual intervention), then Agent again.
