Uploading external CDT XMLs

An SI user can import external CDT files into a cloud environment.

Before you begin

If an SI user wants to import external CDT files into a cloud environment, the CDT files must be placed in the /home/<tenantcode>/cdtxmls directory of the drop box before running the “Upload external CDT XMLs” UCD process.

Procedure

  1. Access the IBM UrbanCode Deploy dashboard
  2. From the Dashboard tab, click the main Applications tab.
  3. Within the Applications tab, select your IBM Sterling Order Management System application. Then, click the Environments tab for that application.
    The Environments tab is the entry point for running processes for an application and displays all of the environments for which you have access for the application.
  4. Request that a process is to run for the target environment by clicking the Image that shows the Request Process button. Request Process icon for the environment.
    The IBM UrbanCode Deploy Selfserv tool displays a window with options for you to specify and configure the process that you want to run.
  5. On the Run Process window, select Upload external CDT XMLs from the Process menu.
    Image that shows the Run Process dialog and Upload external CDT XMLs process selection.
    Note: Some options that display in the Run Process window might not be used for completing the process that you selected. For example, the following options are not used. Do not select, change, or specify a value for these options:
    • Only Changed Versions
    • Snapshot
    • Schedule Deployment
    • Description
  6. Click Submit to run the process with your selected options.
    The process begins and the Progress Execution log screen displays for you to view the progress and status of the process and of any sub-processes. You can use this view to see all of the sub-processes that are running to complete the overall process. You can also view the logs for the processes when you need to complete any troubleshooting.

    The IBM UrbanCode Deploy Selfserv tool logs every action that you complete at all levels of an application to assist with troubleshooting.

Results

A version will be created in UCD with these CDT XMLs in the External_CDT_<DATE>_<TIMESTAMP> format.
