Creating Environments

Creating Environments in Release Manager

To create an environment:

1. Click +New.
2. Search for the project that will store your environment, and then select the project to open a Submit form. (By default, the Environments project is used to store environments.)
3. Select one of these Release Automation options:
   • Create new environment

     Specify a name and create the environment in the Environments project and in Release Automation.

   • Link to existing environment

     Select from the list of Release Automation environments. This creates the environment in the Environments project and links to the selected environment.

     If you have not already entered a title, the Title field value automatically changes to match the name in Release Automation.

4. Select the release engineer who will be responsible for the environment, and then click Submit.
5. Place the environment online when you want to begin using it.

Once you have created the environment, you can do the following:

• Schedule maintenance
• View pending requests
• View turnovers using this environment
• View notes and attachments
• View history

Configuring Environments in Release Automation

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