The Snapshot Items configuration provides functionality for Deployment Automation deployment units and executions, where deployment units are snapshots.

Field Descriptions

The field descriptions are included in the UI. While creating or editing a base or configuration, point to a field name to view its description.

A few fields that may need additional explanation are described in the following table.

Field	Description	Example Values
DA Server URL	URL for the DA server. If using DA 6.1.3 or earlier, use: http://<DA_SERVERNAME>:8080/serena_ra	http://<DA_SERVERNAME>:8080/da
DA Application Request Process link	Used to open the page in the DA web client when the component version or snapshot link is clicked in a view. If using DA 6.1.3 or earlier, use: /serena_ra/#applicationProcessRequest/	/da/#applicationProcessRequest/
DA Post deploy URL	The URL that points to the location in the Release Control installation where the DA notification service is running	http://<RLC_SERVERNAME>:8085/rlc/rest/deploy/autoprocess/notification/SDA/
DA Post deploy message variables	The variables passed along with the notification to the recipient	${p:request.id}:${p:finalStatus}
Use Single Sign-On (SSO)	Select this to allow the provider service to log in to the DA system using the authentication token of the user. If you select this, ensure that SSO is enabled for DA as documented in "Configuring Tomcat for SSO" in the Deployment Automation Integration Guide. Note: If Use Single Sign-On (SSO) is selected, when DA is accessed the first time from Release Control, if it doesn't exist, the corresponding user is automatically created in DA in the Single Sign On Authentication Realm. Before accessing DA through SSO, either ensure that you have set the DA security options to give adequate default permissions to new users, or manually create the users and assign them to the appropriate group in DA.
Application Filter	A comma-separated list of partial names used to filter application names. The text is matched anywhere in the name. For example, DB returns Sample DB and DBUpgrader applications.
Use Custom URL	Select this to allow a custom URL for the snapshot; if this is not selected, when users click on the snapshot hyperlink in the Deployment Units list, the snapshot page will not display in DA. This is used in conjunction with the following field.
Snapshot URL Template	If Use Custom URL field is selected, this template is used to generate the hyperlink to view the snapshot in DA.	app#snapshot/%SNAPSHOT_ID%
