To download any JRE or JDK from the Oracle download page without signing in, go to the downloads page for the version you want (such as https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html) and click on the Download link of your choice.

When a window pops up saying you need to accept the license agreement, check the box that says you agree. But instead of clicking on the green Download link (which will send you to the login page), right-click the download link and select Copy Link Location.
NOTE: If clicking Download doesn’t show a box and takes you straight to the login page instead, you will need to clear your cookies on the Java website (or open in incognito mode). Paste the copied link into a text editor like Notepad. You’ll see the link points to something like oracle.com/webapps/redirect/signon, but it has a query attached that starts with „nexturl=“. The URL that follows nexturl= is the actual link that will download the file to your computer.

If you want to download any JRE or JDK without signing into Oracle, go to the downloads page for the version you want (such as https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/jdk12-downloads.html) and right-click on the Download link of your choice. Select „Copy Link Location“ and then paste it into a text editor like Notepad.
NOTE: you may need to change the otn in the path to otn-pub as described below.

Like most software patterns, few of them are gold standards that all teams should follow. Software development workflow is very dependent on context, in particular the social structure of the team and the other practices that the team follows.
In thinking about these patterns, I find it useful to develop two main categories. One group looks at integration, how multiple developers combine their work into a coherent whole. The other looks at the path to production, using branching to help manage the route from an integrated code base to a product running in production.

Standalone SSIS DevOps Tools provide a set of executables to do SSIS CICD tasks. Without the dependency on the installation of Visual Studio or SSIS runtime, these executables can be easily integrated with any CICD platform. The executables provided are:

SSISBuild.exe: build SSIS projects in project deployment model or package deployment model.
SSISDeploy.exe: deploy ISPAC files to SSIS catalog, or DTSX files and their dependencies to file system.
