Application and Environment Integration Overview

Release Automation applications and environments are used to scope the selections to which you can deploy. You can create environments in Release Manager or Release Automation and then reserve them in a release train. The integration is implemented as follows:

Release Automation applications are created or linked to through the Manage Auxiliary Data details form for the Applications auxiliary table.
Release Automation environments are created or linked to through the submit form for the Environments process app.
Once created, environments and applications are available for selection and association to Release Manager items through forms in the Release Train and Application Release process apps respectively.
When you link to an existing environment or application, the Name field value automatically changes to match the name in Release Automation.

Note: Putting environments online in Release Manager has no affect in Release Automation unless the environment has resources assigned to it that are eligible to be put online.

When you create an environment or application, this adds the name and basic properties in Release Automation. You must configure additional properties in Release Automation to use these for deployment.
