Associating Deployment Units with Release Packages

You can add deployment units to and remove them from release packages. The deployment unit represents a set of deployable components, such as a Dimensions CM baseline with build outputs or Serena Development Manager development packages.

Serena Release Manager identifies and lists the deployment units based on the deployment unit projects that are selected for the release package and any filters on status that are defined in configuration files. For example, for Dimensions CM you may see only the baselines in VERIFIED, DEPLOYED, and CAPTURED statuses.

Adding Deployment Units to Release Packages

You can add a deployment unit only if there is a transition available based on the state of the release package. In the default workflow, the only state where a deployment unit can be added to the release package is when the release package is in Development.

To associate deployment units with a release package:

  1. View a release package and select the Deployment Units tab.

  2. Click Add deployment units.

  3. Select one or more deployment units.

  4. Click OK.

Removing Deployment Units from Release Packages

You can remove a deployment unit only if there is a transition available based on the state of the release package. In the default workflow, the only state where a deployment unit can be removed from the release package is when the release package is in Development.

To remove deployment units from a release package:

  1. View a release package and select the Deployment Units tab.

  2. Select one or more deployment units.

  3. Click Remove deployment units.
