Adding Global Task Action Rules

When you add task action rules, they are applied globally by default.

1. In Work Center, click the user icon in the upper right of the page, and then select Manage Data.
2. In the Table field, select RLC Task Action Rules.
3. Click Submit.
   Tip: If you want to see if a particular rule already exists, select any filters needed to limit results and click Search to search for existing rules.
4. Enter a title and description. If you leave the title blank, it is automatically generated based on the plugin configuration and action name.
5. In Action Name, enter the fully-qualified internal action name for the action that you want to limit by environment. This is the fully-qualified name with <database name>.<internal action name>.

   For example:

   • For the ChangeMan ZMF Approve (PROD) action, enter: rlc-provider-zmf.approveForProd
   • For the Deployment Automation Run Component Process action, enter: rlc-provider-sda.runComponentProcess
   • For the Deployment Automation Run Application Process action, enter: rlc-provider-sda.runApplicationProcess

   For a list of internal action names by plugin, see Knowledgebase item S142281.

   Tip: To copy the internal action name from a deployment task, edit the task and click the copy icon next to the action field you want to copy. This copies the fully-qualified internal name to your clipboard.
   Note: Only one rule can be set for each unique action name.
6. Select the Rule Type you want to apply to a set of environment as follows:
   • Allow: Select this if most environments should not be allowed this action.
   • Disallow: Select this if most of the environments should be allowed this action.

   If you select Allow for a set of environments, any others are disallowed. If you select Disallow for a set of environments, any others are allowed.

7. Find and select the environments and environment groups for which you want to allow or disallow the specified action.
   Note: After you have added the rule, any future environments or environment groups that are created have the action either implicitly allowed or disallowed when this rule is applied, depending on which of these you selected. If you set Allow, all new ones will be disallowed; if you set Disallow, all new ones will be allowed. You must update the rule if you want to explicitly allow or disallow the action in additional environments or environment groups.
8. Click Submit.
