Configurations

Base configurations and their related item and action configurations define the properties needed to connect to and use integrating products or process apps.

Base configurations are a set of shared properties that enable you to quickly create and update configurations of different types using that information.

A base must be created for each set of configurations.
Multiple versions of configurations can be added for the same base configuration.
You can add multiple execution and object type configurations (called actions and item configurations in the examples) within one base configuration.

Item and action configurations are a specific set of properties for associating objects or executing actions. Release Managers and Release Engineers select these configurations when they are adding objects in Release Control, such as requests, deployment units, and deployment tasks.

You can create as many item and action configurations as you need from each base.
You can override base fields in item and action configurations if needed. If the base is updated and fields are overridden, the updates in the base are ignored.

Note: You can also override configuration settings through an auxiliary table. See Auxiliary Table Level Configuration Overrides.

Several example configurations for these are included in the Release Control installation.
