Configuring Tasks to Transition SBM Items

After the SBM Request Provider configuration has been added or updated as needed, users, such as Release Engineers, can create deployment tasks and select from actions to either create or transition SBM items.

When the transition action is selected, Release Control will attempt to transition an existing SBM item from the table whose information is specified in the SBM plugin execution provider configuration field Execution - SBM Table (DBNAME). Any projects for the table will be shown in the Project list.

The fields that are displayed when configuring a deployment task to transition SBM items from the Task Collection Widget are described in the following table.
