Creating an Application

To create an application:

  1. Display the Create New Application dialog (Home > Applications > Create New Application [button]). Unlike the New Component dialog box where some fields vary depending on the artifacts' source, none of the fields here are variable.

  2. Enter a name and description.

    I entered helloWorld_application. While there is no naming requirements, the number of associated items—components, processes, applications, environments, etc.—can become large, so it's useful to employ a scheme that makes it easy to identify related items.

  3. Accept the default value of None from the Notification Scheme drop-down list box, and save the application.

    Serena Release Automation integrates with LDAP and e-mail servers which enables it to send event-based notifications. For example, the default notification scheme will send an e-mail (if an email server has been configured, see the section called “System Settings”) when a deployment finishes. Notifications can also play a role in deployment approvals. See Serena Release Automation Security for information about security roles.
