Creating virtual runtimes

Learn how to define virtual runtimes.

Before you begin

At least one runtime must exist in the target environment.
The runtime must be public, shared private runtime or owned by you to create virtual runtimes.

You can create virtual runtimes as placeholders for runtimes and define which runtimes to use in the deployed environments for referencing services.

You can create virtual runtimes in any of the following ways:

Method 1 - Create virtual runtimes in Project > Runtimes > Add runtimes > Create virtual runtimes.
Method 2 - Click a runtime in the Project > Runtimes. In the virtual runtimes information, click Manage virtual runtimes and Create.
Method 3 - Create virtual runtimes from workflows, deploy anywhere flow editor, and REST APIs. For more information, see Using deploy anywhere integrations in workflows Using deploy anywhere integrations in deploy anywhere flow services, , and Using deploy anywhere integrations in REST APIs.

Go to Projects and select a project.
Click the Runtimes tab.
The Runtimes page is displayed.
Click Add runtimes and select Create virtual runtimes.
The Create virtual runtimes window opens.
In the Mapped to runtime menu, select the runtime you want to associate the virtual runtime with.

Note: You can map to any runtime and switch it later to a different runtime. All the referencing services are updated automatically.
Enter a unique name for the virtual runtime.
Click Create.

Note: You can define multiple virtual runtimes for the selected runtime.

A virtual runtime is created and mapped to the selected runtime.
Repeat steps 4 to 6 when there are multiple runtimes.
Click Save.
The virtual runtimes are created and mapped with the runtime.
