Deploying Dimensions CM Baselines

A typical deployment of a baseline based on sample data is given here. This example gives only one use case. Details may vary for your implementation, but the concepts are the same.

Note: The process you configure must follow your Dimensions CM stage life cycle rules. For example, Dev to SIT to UAT to PROD.

To deploy baselines from Release Manager:

Configure a release train and link it to the Release Automation environment that is associated with these Release Automation applications. For example, UAT.
Within a turnover associated with that release train, you can then add automation deployment tasks. Add an automation deployment task as follows:
1. Enter a name and description and in Task type select Auto. The Application menu lists active Release Automation applications. For example: Dimensions CM, Nolio, and/or ChangeMan ZMF applications
2. In the Application list, select a Dimensions CM application.
  The Process menu lists all available Release Automation application processes for the selected Dimensions CM application. For example:
  - Promote Baseline
  - Deploy Baseline
  Important: The Get processes are used by subsequent forms for populating the selections, and should not be selected in the Process menu.
3. Select the Promote Baseline process.
  The Parameters tab shows fields for the related Release Automation properties. For example:
  - Baseline Name
4. Enter or select the baseline name.
  - You can use wildcard filters.
  - Select the baseline you want using the resulting Select Value form.
  - Entry data is not case sensitive.
5. Enter any other optional information.
6. Save the deployment task.
Add any other deployment tasks similarly to how you created the preceding deployment task. For example, typical processes you'd select are Promote Baseline and Deploy Baseline. The GET processes are typically used by the forms for populating the selections.
After you have created all your deployment tasks for your turnover, deliver the turnover, accept it, and start the deployment according to your turnover process.
