Dimensions CM Integration Runtime Communication

In the Dimensions CM integration, the communication between products proceeds as follows:

  1. A Release Manager deployment task initiates requests to run Release Automation processes through REST service calls.

  2. This invokes Release Automation processes, which must contain all connection details for the target Dimensions CM server, product, stream, or other entities.

  3. Release Automation requests information from Dimensions CM through SOAP service calls.

  4. The activity on the Dimensions CM server is initiated and Release Automation polls the Dimensions CM server for the current job status.

  5. Once the job status in Dimensions CM completes, either successfully or with a failure, the Release Automation process step that initiated the transaction completes.

  6. Release Automation sends the requested information to Release Manager through REST service calls.
