Promoting the Snapshots

To promote the Serena Release Manager snapshots:

1. Log in to SBM Application Repository using the following URL:

   http://serverName:port/mashupmgr

2. Select the Process App Snapshots tab.
3. Click All and then select to filter on Serena Release Manager.
4. Follow the steps below to promote the snapshots.
   Important: Ensure that you promote the RLM – Release Train snapshot before you promote the RLM – Approvals snapshot.
   1. Select a snapshot and then click Promote. The Summary of the Promote dialog box is displayed.
   2. Choose the Destination Environment by selecting the Destination box.

   3. In the Entities section, choose which entities to import. It is recommended that you import all of them, but it is not mandatory.

      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.
   4. If no mappings are needed in the Mapping dialog box, click Done.
   5. Click Promote to finish the operation.
   6. Repeat this process for each snapshot in the solution that you want to use.
