Updating to SQL Change Automation
The SQL Change Automation release was early this week. This is replacing ReadyRoll and our DLM Automation products, rolling them into a single product and is the first stage of unifying our state and migration based solutions.
When I logged into Visual Studio and checked updates this week, I found a new item:
I selected this for upgrade, which replaces my ReadyRoll installation. Once I did this, it downloaded and I had to exit Visual Studio. That triggers the install.
It’s a painless process, and when complete, I see the change in my projects.
This works the same as the old ReadyRoll system, though there have been lots of updates to the product this year. The setup is a little better, giving you some help getting started. We have the obligatory welcome screen:
But after this, we help you understand a bit about what to configure. The next screen lets you see there is a development and deployment target that are needed, and these are used to try and ensure you realize you’re building a flow here.
There’s more work to be done, and certainly more information I can provide. Look for me to build some PoC type projects here soon to help you learn to get started.

A Long Break
I’m in the UK today, having flown over on the weekend. This week is SQL in the City – June 2018 on Wednesday and I needed the two full days to prep, so I’m here a day early.
Not sure how much work I’ll get done this week, or if I have time to write, as I have Redgate work these two days, then I’m off Thursday to Cork, Ireland for the ISACA conference there Friday. My wife meets me and then I’ll be on holiday until next Wednesday.
Enjoy the week, tune into SQL in the City, and I’ll be back blogging next week.
