Preparing the Plugins

The integration between each integrating product and Release Control is implemented through the corresponding plugin.

After applying the Release Control configuration in SBM Configurator, you can use Release Control Administration to add plugins and one or more unique configurations for each plugin. Example configurations of some of the provided plugins are already added for you.

Plugin configuration includes the following:

• Plugins
• Base configurations
• Item and action configurations
• Tags
• Configuration overrides, including environment-specific overrides
• Task action rules
