Using the CA Release Automation Plugin

After configuration is complete, you can configure tasks in Release Control to do the following:

• Create and run CA Release Automation deployment plans.
• Run CA Release Automation processes.
• Run CA Release Automation deployments.

Some usage highlights include the following:

• If tasks are cancelled in Release Control, the associated CA Release Automation process is automatically stopped by Release Control.
• If run process tasks are blocked in Release Control, you will need to complete them as described in Completing Blocked Run Process Tasks.
• CA Release Automation REST notifications are used to complete Run Process tasks. See Configuring CA Release Automation REST Notifications. Run Process deployment is not affected by the job polling timeout parameter.
• Polling is used to complete Run Deployment and Create and Run Deployment Plan tasks. Run Deployment and Create and Run Deployment Plan do not require REST to be configured in CA Release Automation.
