Using the Deployment Automation Plugins

There are two Deployment Automation plugins available:

• Component Version plugin: Enables you to deploy component versions.
• Snapshot plugin: Enables you to deploy snapshots.

You may use either or both, depending on your organization's needs.

After configuration is complete, you can do the following in Release Control release packages:

In the Deployment Units tab:

• Associate component versions with deployment units (Component Version plugin only).
• Associate snapshots with deployment units (Snapshots plugin only).
• Synchronize component version and snapshot data from Deployment Automation using the Reload Deployment Unit Data button.

In the Deployment Tasks tab:

• Configure tasks to execute processes against and deploy Deployment Automation component versions.
• Configure tasks to execute processes against and deploy Deployment Automation snapshots.
