Creating environment gates

To create an environment gate, specify the conditions that must be met before component versions can be deployed to the environment.

Before you begin

Create one or more component version statuses. See by clicking Settings > Statuses and then under Version Statuses, click Add Status.

Procedure

  1. Display the Environment Gates pane for the target application (Applications > [selected application] > Configuration > Environment Gates). This pane lists the environments and the gates for each environment.
  2. Next to an environment, select a value from the Add a new condition list.
    Selecting a condition for the gate

    The available statuses are defined in the default.xml file. The default statuses (Latest, Passed Tests, Archived) are supplied as examples; in most cases, you supply your own values.

    Selecting a value provides both And and Or selection boxes.

    The new condition for the gate

    Using the And box adds another value to the condition that must be satisfied. For example, if you define a gate with the conditions Passed Tests and Latest, only component versions with both of these statuses can be deployed into the environment.

    Using the Or box adds another condition to the gate. Additional conditions are defined in the same way as the first one. A gate with two or more conditions means that the component version can be deployed if it meets any of the conditions. For example, if you define a gate with the conditions Passed Tests and Latest, a component version passes the gate if it has either status (or both). A single gate can have any number of conditions.

  3. Repeat these steps for other environments. Each environment can have different gates.
  4. Click Save Conditions to save your changes.

Results

Now, component versions can not be deployed to the environments unless they have the specified statuses. To assign statuses to component versions, see Component version statuses.
