Statuses

You can pre-define implementation-specific inventory, component version, and snapshot status values and subsequently use them to do the following:

Apply inventory statuses to component versions when they are successfully deployed to resources
Apply and enforce conditions on application gates based on statuses of component versions and snapshots

You add status values for these statuses in the Inventory Statuses page: Administration > Automation > Statuses. Add values as needed for your implementation.

Each Status has a required name and several optional values, as described in the following table:

Status Attributes Table

Value	Description
name	Identifies the status; appears in user-interface. Used to create gates, and available in process steps.
color	Hexadecimal color definition; determines the color displayed in the user interface.
unique	Boolean value (true\|false). Only one component version with this status/attribute will be deployed to the environment.
componentRoleName	Security role required by user to add this status to the component version.

Note: While you can add as many values as you like, you cannot create new status types. Only Inventory, Version, and Snapshot status types are supported.

Note: Process completion status is built in and cannot be changed. This should not be confused with these other status types.

The following topics describe the use of the statuses.
