The applications that are available to
a deployment plan depend on the team that is assigned to the plan. The applications
that are managed by the team in DevOps Deploy are also available in Measure.
To create this task type, specify the application's process, version, and environment. You can
set the version and environment at design time or select them at run time. When you
run this task, the application runs in the integrated DevOps Deploy instance. During
deployments, DevOps Deploy tasks start automatically when they become eligible to
run.
To create a DevOps Deploy task, complete the following steps:
On the Deployment Plan details page, click
Create Task.
If you want to insert a task at a specific position in the plan, select a task
before using the Create Task. The new task is inserted
above the selected task.
On the Create Task dialog box, in the
Type list, select DevOps
Deploy.
In the Name field, enter a name for the task.
In the Description field, provide
the description of the task.
In the Integration drop-down list, select the plugin
integration.
Select the Assigned group or user
from the drop-down list.
In the Application drop-down list, select an
application.
In the Process drop-down list, select or enter an
application process.
Processes that belong to the selected DevOps Deploy application are
available.
In the Version drop-down list,
select an application version.
Versions refer to DevOps Deploy application snapshots. Versions that belong to
the selected application are available. To postpone selecting a version, select
Use Version Tab. If the application process does not
require a version, select No version items exist. You
might select this last option if you are running a configuration-type process
that does not require components.
In the Environment drop-down list, select or enter an
application environment.
Environments that belong to the selected DevOps Deploy application are
available. To postpone selecting an environment until you are ready to run the
deployment, click Versions on the Deployment
plan details page.
In the Deploy Request Properties box, enter the
properties that you want to pass to the IBM DevOps Deploy (Legacy)
application.
Properties are name-value pairs. You can enter multiple properties. Put each
property on a separate line. The following graphic provides an example of
property definitions:Figure 1. property definitions
Select the snapshot display from the On
Failure and On Success drop-down
list.
Click Save.
The task is inserted into the deployment plan.
After the task is created, the plan's Versions page is updated with
information about the application. If you selected Only Changed Versions for
the application environment and version on the Create Task dialog box, use the
Versions page to set those options before running the deployment.
