Promote the process app snapshots, following the instructions
carefully, especially for the Release Package snapshot. For the best results,
read through the following sections before beginning the promotion.
When you are ready to promote a snapshot, perform the steps below for
each of the snapshots.
Log in to
SBM Application
Repository using the
following URL:
http://serverName:port/mashupmgr
In the left navigation pane, select
Snapshots.
In the
Sources selection box, select
Release Control
to filter the list. You'll see the following snapshots:
RLC - Approvals
RLC - Environment
RLC - Manual Deployment Task (optional)
RLC - Release Data
RLC - Release Train
RLC - Release Package
RLC - Sample Request (optional)
RLC - Task Templates
Tip: Although
RLC - Manual Deployment Task and
RLC - Sample Request are optional, you should promote them
if you plan to follow along with the examples used in this documentation.
In the given order, select a snapshot and in its
Actions column, click the
Promote icon. The
Promote Snapshot wizard is displayed.
Important: Release Train must be promoted before Release
Package. Otherwise, the Release Package promotion may fail with Aborted status.
In the
Destination step, select the environment to
which to promote. Click
Next.
In the
Entities step, choose which entities to
import. It is recommended that you import all of them for each snapshot.
Click
Next.
Important: Select the
Merge conflicts option if you have already
promoted the snapshot to the target environment and you want to preserve
changes that you made to the existing application. For example, if you want to
keep new user roles that you added to an application, select the
Merge conflicts check box to preserve them in
the target environment after the promotion. If
Merge conflicts is not selected, the existing
entities will be deleted in the target environment.
In the
Mappings step, notice that the current
endpoint mappings point to the IP address of the server onto which you are
installing. Click
Next.
In the
Summary step, review your selections and then
click
Promote to finish the operation.
Repeat starting with step 4 for each of the snapshots that you
want to use.
Tip: If you aren't sure whether you will use the
optional snapshots, promote them and if you decide you don't want to use them
later, you can delete them or hide them by removing privileges. If you want to
configure the end-to-end solution for proof of task or evaluation, promote
them.
