Working on processes in safe edit mode
Safe editing enables you to test component processes before making them available in normal environments. Make updates to your component process, test those updates safely, and then promote to a new version when you are ready.
- Click Enable Safe Edit of Component Processes, optionally select Require Approval to Promote Component Process and then click Save at the bottom of the System Settings page. . Select
- If Require Approval to Promote Component Process is enabled, after a draft is promoted you see Promotion Pending where the Promote push button was. The Promotion Pending button is inactive while an approval is pending. Approval requests go to anyone with manage processes permission on component. Under Work Items, there is a new Component Process promotion table with Approve and Reject actions. These actions link to latest promoted version and draft processes for which promotion was requested.
- Two new parameters are displayed under the Component Settingsstarting in
IBM® UrbanCode® Deploy v. 7.0.2.1.
- Allow Process Locking. When this option is enabled you will be able to lock component processes for editing.
- Require Process Locking. When this option is enabled you will not be able to edit component processes without locking the process first.
Environments that are set to allow draft processes can use draft process for deployments. Other environments must use the promoted processes.
Note: Snapshots can only lock to versions of component processes. They cannot lock to drafts. If a
snapshot is deployed to an environment that allows drafts then one of these conditions apply:
- If the snapshot is using the latest version of a process, the draft will be used.
- If the snapshot is using a specific version of a process, then that specific version will be used.
