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 Deployment Automation processes through REST service calls.

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

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

  4. The activity on the Dimensions CM server is initiated and Deployment 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 Deployment Automation process step that initiated the transaction completes.

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