Creating Gates

You must add status values before creating gates. See Using Version Statuses and Using Snapshot Statuses.

To create a gate:

Navigate to Management > Applications > [select application] > Environments > [select environment] > View Details > Gates.
Click the Edit button on the gates page. The Edit Gates dialog box appears.
Select a value.
Note: To view and define the available statuses, see Defining Statuses.

The selection list includes both version and snapshot statuses. Selecting a value provides both And and Or selection boxes.

To use And:

Click Add Condition. This adds an additional value to the condition that must be satisfied. For example, defining the gate Passed Tests And Latest means that only component versions with both statuses, Passed Tests and Latest, satisfy the condition and can be deployed into the environment. A single condition can have as many And-ed values as there are statuses defined.

To use Or:

Click Add Condition Group. Using the Or box adds a condition group to the gate. Additional conditions are defined in the same way as the first one. A gate with two or more conditions means the component will be deployed if it meets any of the conditions. For example, if you define the gate Passed Tests Or Latest, a component will pass the gate if it has either status (or both). A single gate can have any number of conditions.

To remove a condition:

Click the - beside the latest selection.
Click Save.

See Defining Statuses for more information about version and snapshot statuses.
