Serena Release Manager Install Components

The following components are delivered as part of every Release Manager installation depending on which underlying required SBM components are detected on the server:

Solution Files

The solution files contain the workflows and data models that comprise each of the Release Manager process apps. The installer delivers the following solution file on the server that hosts SBM Application Repository:

Serena Release Manager (RLM) – Includes the process apps associated with Serena Release Manager:
- RLM - Application Release
- RLM - Approvals
- RLM - Environment
- RLM - Release Train
- RLM - Runbook
- RLM - Turnover
- RLM - Manual Deployment Task
- RLM - Sample Business Request
- RLM - Sample Development Task

After the installation is complete, you can find the solution file in the Solutions directory here: SBM Installation Directory\Serena\Solutions\RLM. The file name is composed of the version number of the current solution and the .sln extension.

Framework Files

The framework files augment your underlying SBM installation to enable certain features. The framework files include new templates, images, and code that are backward compatible with your existing installation.

For example, the installer provides a set of HTML templates to display Release Manager images. The HTML templates are installed on your SBM Application Engine server, but do not affect your current SBM installation.

Release Automation Files

The Release Automation piece performs the deployment activities of Release Manager. You configure Release Automation server and database settings in SBM Configurator. The Release Automation files are delivered by the installer on the server that hosts SBM Common Services.
