Adding tags to application environments

You can specify deployment targets by adding environment tags to application environments.

Import applications from IBM™ UrbanCode™ Deploy. For information about integrating with IBM UrbanCode Deploy, see Integrating with IBM UrbanCode Deploy.

Create environment tags to assign to application environments.

An application environment represents an IBM UrbanCode Deploy deployment target. You deploy to application environments by assigning them to release environments. By adding application environments to a release environment, the application environments become available to all the releases where the release environment is assigned.

You can specify deployment targets by adding environment tags to application environments. Normally, when you assign several application environments to a release environment, all application environments are targeted during a deployment. To restrict the deployment to specific application environments, assign environment tags to the application environments. Then, during the deployment, select the environment tag that you want to target. Only application environments with the selected tag are targeted.

  1. From the IBM UrbanCode Release dashboard, click Environments, and then click Application Environments.
    The Application Environments page displays all application environments imported from the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server. Release environments with application environments attached to them are listed in the Environments list. To filter the display by tag, enter the tag into the Tags field.
  2. In the Tags column, click the Add Tag icon, , for the application environment where you want to add the tag.
  3. In the Tag list, select a tag.
  4. Click Save.
    The environment tag is added to the application environment and displayed in the Tags column.
The environment tags are available for deployments that contain the application environments.
Use tags by assigning them to automated tasks. When the application process that is attached to the automated task runs, it deploys to the application environments with the selected tag.
