You may create vault templates to be used to bring component sets into Serena Release Manager in the future. When you create a vault template, you can define the target vault information and filters. These can be used to add baselines directly from DVM through the Serena Development Manager (DVM) to Release Manager integration. Since the source information is selected from an external system, this must be selected when you create the actual vault request after applying the vault template.
To create a vault template:
In the Actions menu, select New Vault Template.
The Create Vault Template page appears.
Fill out the top, or shared, section of the form.
For example, you would fill out the default form as follows:
Enter a unique and descriptive Vault template name.
For Flag components as, select the option as follows:
DML to flag the components as definitive media and add them to the release vault Definitive Media Library. These are components that should already have been tested externally to Serena Release Manager and are ready to be accepted by IT operations as production-ready components, or "Gold" code.
Vault: to flag the components as vault objects and add them to the regular release vault to pass through the defined testing stages on the path to production.
Select the Target tab and fill out the form to select the location in the release vault to which you are delivering components. For example:
In Baseline stem, specify a prefix for the baseline to be created in the target release vault and project specified in configuration files.
This gives a unique identifier to the baseline name that is automatically generated by the vault request target baseline generation process.
NOTE In the default implementation of Serena Release Manager, the target project in the release vault to which you are delivering components is defined in your vault provider configuration file. For more information, see Serena ALM Installation and Configuration, "Vault Request Configuration".
Select the Options tab and fill out the form to filter the results selected in the source baseline. This refines the component set that will be created in the target baseline upon execution of the vault request that uses this vault template. For example:
Adding Included and Excluded filters
In the Included filters input field, identify the full or partial names of files that you want to include in the target baseline. Type full file names or standard wildcard expressions to identify partial file names. For example **/*.exe | **/*.bin.
Click Add to add the input field information to the list of filters.
To clear all of the filters at once, click Clear.
TIP To selectively clear, copy and paste the filters become you click Clear. Copy the text into the Included filters input field, edit it as needed, then add just the information you want to keep as included filters.
In the Excluded filters input field, identify the full or partial names of files that you want to exclude from the target baseline. Type full file names or standard wildcard expressions to identify partial file names. For example **/*.log | **/*.txt.
Use the same procedure as was used to add Included filters to add your Excluded filters.
Select a design part for the components that you want to include in the target baseline.
Select a vault stage for the components that you want to include in the target baseline.
Click OK.
The vault template is saved.
