```
### Core Projects
1. **CCNetLogReader** - Primary Windows Forms application and orchestration layer
2. **CCNetWrapper** - CruiseControl.NET integration and data models
3. **FogbugzWrapper** - FogBugz/Manuscript API client and data structures
4. **CCNetControls** - Custom UI controls and login dialogs
5. **ManuscriptEdit** - Standalone manuscript editing utility
6. **ZendeskTickets** - Zendesk ticket management utilities
## Data Structures and Models
### Configuration System
The application uses XML-based configuration (`Configuration.xml`) with the following key structures:
#### SoftwarePackage Configuration
```csharp
public class SoftwarePackage
{
public string Name { get; set; } // Package display name
public string ProjectName { get; set; } // CC.NET project reference
public string PublishedBuild { get; set; } // Current published version
public DateTime PublishedDate { get; set; } // Last publish date
public string ProjectBuildFolder { get; set; } // Build artifact location
public long ZDArticleID { get; set; } // Zendesk article ID
public string ZDArticleText { get; set; } // Article template with placeholders
public bool ZipContents { get; set; } // Compress files for upload
public bool DeleteOldPublishedBuilds { get; set; } // Cleanup old versions
public string ReleaseNoteDocxTemplate { get; set; } // Word template path
}
```
#### External Service Configurations
- **ZendeskConfiguration**: Locale, subdomain, username, API key
- **S3Configuration**: AWS credentials, bucket, CloudFront domain
### Build and Project Data Models
#### ServerBuild (`ServerBuild.cs`)
```csharp
public class ServerBuild
{
public string ProjectName { get; private set; }
public IntegrationStatus BuildStatus { get; private set; }
public string LastSuccessfulBuildLabel { get; private set; }
public DateTime LastBuildDate { get; private set; }
public DateTime? PublishedDate { get; private set; }
}
```
#### BuildLog (`CCNetWrapper/BuildLog.cs`)
```csharp
public class BuildLog
{
public string ProjectName { get; set; }
public string BuildNumber { get; set; }
public string Comment { get; set; }
public string ReleaseNote { get; set; }
public List<string> ModifiedFiles { get; set; }
public string User { get; set; }
public DateTime Date { get; set; }
public string Fogbugz { get; set; } // FogBugz case ID reference
public FBEvent.FBStatuses FBStatus { get; set; } // Status from FogBugz
}
```
#### ProjectLog (`CCNetWrapper/ProjectLog.cs`)
```csharp
public class ProjectLog
{
public List<BuildLog> BuildLogs { get; set; }
// Integrates with FogBugz to populate status and release notes
public void SetFBClient(FogbugzClient fogbugzClient, ref long progTotal, ref long progCurrent)
}
```
### FogBugz Integration Models
#### Case Management (`FogbugzWrapper/Cases.cs`)
```csharp
public class Case
{
public List<int> IxBug { get; set; } // Bug/Case ID
public int IxProject { get; set; } // Project ID
public bool FOpen { get; set; } // Case open status
public string STitle { get; set; } // Case title
public string SProject { get; set; } // Project name
public string SStatus { get; set; } // Current status
public DateTime DtLastUpdated { get; set; } // Last modification
public Events Events { get; set; } // Case event history
}
```
#### Event Tracking (`FogbugzWrapper/FBEvent.cs`)
```csharp
public class FBEvent
{
public enum FBStatuses { UNKNOWN, Opened, Resolved, Closed, Reactivated }
public string User { get; set; }
public string Comment { get; set; }
public string StatusString { get; set; }
public string TimeStamp { get; set; }
public string ReleaseNote { get; set; } // Release note content
public int ZendeskNumber { get; set; } // Linked Zendesk ticket
}
```
## External System Integrations
### CruiseControl.NET Integration
**Connection Method**: TCP Remoting (`tcp://{server}:21234/CruiseManager.rem`)
**Key Components**:
- Uses ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.Remote library
- Connects via `CruiseServerClientFactory.GenerateRemotingClient()`
- Retrieves project status and build history
- Parses build logs for commit information
**Data Flow**:
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant App as CCNetLogReader
participant CC as CruiseControl.NET
participant Wrapper as CCNetWrapper
App->>CC: Connect via TCP Remoting
CC->>App: Project List & Status
App->>CC: Request Build History
CC->>App: Build Log Data
App->>Wrapper: Parse Build Logs
Wrapper->>App: Structured BuildLog Objects
```
### FogBugz/Manuscript Integration
**Connection Method**: HTTP API (`http://{server}/api.asp`)
**Authentication**: Token-based authentication system
**Key Capabilities**:
- Case/bug retrieval with full event history
- Status tracking (Opened, Resolved, Closed, Reactivated)
- Release note extraction from case events
- Zendesk ticket number linking
**API Endpoints Used**:
- `logon` - Authentication
- Case queries for status and release notes
- Event history parsing for status changes
### Cloud Storage Integration
#### AWS S3 Client (`S3Client.cs`)
```csharp
public class s3Client
{
IAmazonS3 _s3;
s3Config _config;
// Uses AWS SDK for .NET
// Supports file upload with progress tracking
// Integrates with CloudFront for CDN delivery
}
```
**Configuration**:
- Access Key, Secret Key, Region (us-east-2)
- Bucket name and CloudFront domain
- Support for file compression and cleanup
### Zendesk Integration
#### Zendesk Client (`ZendeskClient.cs`)
```csharp
public class ZendeskClient
{
ZendeskApi _zd;
zdConfig _config;
// Uses ZendeskApi_v2 library
// Supports help center article updates
// Template-based content replacement
}
```
**Key Features**:
- Article updating with templated content
- Support for multiple locales (default: en-us)
- API key authentication
- Template variables: `{{VERSION}}`, `{{SWURL}}`, `{{PDFURL}}`
## Publishing Workflow
The legacy system implements a comprehensive publishing workflow:
```mermaid
flowchart TD
START[User Selects Package] --> CONFIG[Load Package Config]
CONFIG --> COLLECT[Collect Build Data]
COLLECT --> FOGBUGZ[Query FogBugz for Release Notes]
FOGBUGZ --> GENERATE[Generate Release Notes Document]
GENERATE --> PACKAGE[Package Files for Upload]
PACKAGE --> UPLOAD[Upload to S3]
UPLOAD --> ZENDESK[Update Zendesk Article]
ZENDESK --> UPDATE[Update Package Configuration]
UPDATE --> COMPLETE[Publishing Complete]
subgraph "Document Generation"
GENERATE --> WORD[Use Word Template]
WORD --> PDF[Convert to PDF]
end
subgraph "File Processing"
PACKAGE --> ZIP[Compress if Configured]
ZIP --> DELETE[Delete Old Versions]
end
```
### Release Notes Generation
**Technology**: Microsoft Office Interop (Word automation)
**Process**:
1. Load DOCX template from configured path
2. Replace template variables with build data
3. Include FogBugz release notes from case events
4. Generate final document output
**Template Variables**:
- Version information from build numbers
- Release notes from FogBugz case events
- Build dates and project information
## Configuration Options
### Software Package Configuration
Each package supports the following options:
- **Project Mapping**: Links to specific CC.NET projects
- **Version Tracking**: Maintains published version history
- **File Processing**: Compression and cleanup options
- **Cloud Storage**: S3 bucket and path configuration
- **Help Center**: Zendesk article ID and template text
- **Release Notes**: Word template path and generation settings
### System-Wide Settings
- **Build Root**: Base directory for build artifacts
- **Local Publish Root**: Staging directory for local processing
- **External Service Credentials**: Stored in configuration XML
## Key Implementation Patterns
### Configuration Management
- XML serialization for persistent configuration
- Automatic deserialization on application startup
- Support for multiple software package definitions
### Error Handling
- Global exception handling in main application thread
- User-friendly error dialogs with stack trace details
- Logging integration for debugging
### UI Architecture
- Windows Forms with custom controls
- Data binding for project and build information
- Progress tracking for long-running operations
### External Service Abstraction
- Wrapper classes for each external integration
- Configuration-driven service connections
- Token and credential management
## Security Considerations
**⚠️ Security Issues Identified**:
1. **Hardcoded Credentials**: API keys and credentials are stored in plaintext in source code files:
- AWS credentials in `S3Client.cs:19-20`
- Zendesk credentials in `ZendeskClient.cs:18-19`
- FogBugz token in `FogbugzClient.cs:14`
2. **Configuration File Exposure**: `Configuration.xml` contains sensitive information in plaintext
3. **No Credential Rotation**: Static credentials without rotation mechanisms
## Recommendations for Modern Implementation
### Architecture Migration
1. **Service-Oriented**: Migrate from monolithic WinForms to microservices
2. **Web-Based UI**: Replace WinForms with modern web interface
3. **Container-Based**: Dockerize services for deployment flexibility
### Security Improvements
1. **Secrets Management**: Implement proper secrets management (Azure Key Vault, AWS Secrets Manager)
2. **OAuth/OIDC**: Replace API keys with modern authentication
3. **Environment-Based Config**: Use environment variables for sensitive data
### Technology Modernization
1. **.NET Core/8**: Upgrade from .NET Framework
2. **Entity Framework**: Replace manual XML configuration with database
3. **Background Jobs**: Use Hangfire or similar for async processing
4. **SignalR**: Add real-time updates for build status
## Data Migration Strategy
### Configuration Data
- **Source**: `Configuration.xml` with hardcoded package definitions
- **Target**: PostgreSQL database with `Packages`, `StorageProviders`, `HelpCenterProviders` tables
- **Migration**: Parse XML and insert into normalized database schema
### Historical Data
- **Build History**: Maintain existing CC.NET integration patterns
- **FogBugz Data**: Preserve case linking and release note associations
- **Publishing History**: Create audit trail for package publications
## Questions for Implementation Phase
1. **CC.NET Version**: What version of CruiseControl.NET is currently deployed?
2. **FogBugz API**: Are there any API rate limits or authentication changes needed?
3. **Document Templates**: Should Word template processing be migrated to a different solution?
4. **Legacy Data**: How much historical build and publication data should be migrated?
5. **Deployment Environment**: Will the new system run on the same infrastructure or be cloud-native?
