Snapshot Statuses

Snapshot statuses are used with environment gates to ensure that snapshots are deployed or otherwise processed if they are in a designated status. You can select from available snapshot statuses when you define gates for applications. There is no default setting.

You use snapshot statuses as follows:

1. Define the statuses

   In Administration > Statuses, in the Snapshot Statuses section, define the snapshot statuses for your implementation. For example, INT_Ready, UAT_Ready, PROD_Ready. See Statuses.

2. Add the condition

   In your application's Gates tab, in the Add a new condition selection box, select the snapshot status that is required. You can use AND and OR to create more specific conditions. See Application Gates.

   Note: In the Add a new condition selection box, both version statuses and snapshot statuses appear for selection.
3. Set the specific snapshot's status

   In the snapshot's Dashboard tab, select a version and click Add a Status. This lets you add a status to the snapshot by selecting from the list of statuses you defined earlier. See Snapshot Options.

4. Request a process to deploy the snapshot

   The requested process will not run if the snapshot is not set to the status or statuses specified in the Gates tab. See Deploying Using Application Processes.
