Select a value from the Add a new condition list box.

The available statuses are defined in the default.xml file (discussed below). The default statuses—Latest, Passed Tests, Archived—are supplied as examples; it is assumed you will supply your own values.

Selecting a value provides both And and Or selection boxes.

Figure 46. Gate Definition

Using the And box adds an additional value to the condition that must be satisfied. Using the default values for example, defining the following 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 in the default.xml file.

Using the Or box adds an additional condition 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 the following two gates are defined, Passed Tests, and Latest, a component will pass the gate if it has either status (or both). A single gate can have any number of conditions.

Save your work when finished.
