As you work with release packages, you are presented with buttons on the user interface for workflow actions that are available to you. The release package workflow is a conditional workflow that allows for default paths for each release type, Major, Minor, and Emergency. The workflow actions available for each release type are the actions needed to support the release stages for that release type.
A simplified representation of the default workflow path for a major release package is shown in the following figure.
The actions that appear here are:
Create
Approve
Deploy
For example, after you approve a release package, the release package goes into the Ready for Deployment state, and the release package dialog box shows the next action, Deploy, as shown in the following figure.
The stage to which the release package is deployed depends on the type of release package and in which stage the release package currently resides.
For information on preparing release packages for deployment and deploying them, see Automating Deployment Processes and Deploying and Installing Releases.
