Using Deployment Automation → Managing Applications → Application Creation Overview
Applications associate components with the agents that will manage them, and define processes to perform deployments.
The following table summarizes the steps performed to create applications.
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Create an application and identify its components. | After defining the application, identify the components it will manage. Associating a component makes its processes and properties available to the application. An application can have any number of components associated with it. |
| 2. Add environments | Add environments for the application to use and map the environments' resources to components. Mapping means assigning an agent to manage the component. Each component can be mapped to the same agent, a different one, or some combination. An application can have more than one environment associated with it. |
| 3. Add a pipeline | Select a pipeline as part of the creation or edit of the application. If any environments are used by the pipeline that are not already associated with the application, a warning message appears with an option of adding any necessary environments to the application. Any added environments must still be mapped as needed. |
| 4. Create an application process | Use the process design editor to create an application process. Application processes are created with the same editor used to create the component process, but uses a different toolkit of process steps. Previously defined component processes can be incorporated into the process. |
