To run an application process, specify the environment
to use and the process to run. In many cases, you also specify the
component versions to deploy.
Before you begin
- Create an environment.
- Create an application process.
Procedure
- Click Applications, click the application,
and then next to the environment, click Request Process
.
- In the Run Process window, in the Process list,
select the application process.
- To skip component versions that have not changed since
the previous deployment, select the Only Changed Versions check
box. If you clear this check box, all of the component
versions that you select are deployed, even if they are already in
the inventory.
If the process you selected deploys component versions,
you must specify the component versions to deploy. In this case, you
can use the component versions in a snapshot, or you can select component
versions manually.
- To use the component versions in a snapshot, select the
snapshot in the Snapshot list.
- To specify component versions manually, follow these steps:
- Click Choose Versions.
- In the Component Versions window,
specify the component versions to use. You can specify
the versions for each component individually by clicking the Add link
next to a component in the table. You can also specify versions for
all of the components at once by clicking Select For All and
then clicking one of the following options:
- Click Latest Available to select the most
recent component version.
- Click Versions With Name to select the
most recent component version whose name matches a string.
- Click Currently Deployed to select the
currently deployed versions.
- Click None (Clear All) to clear your selections.
- When you have selected the component versions, click OK.
Note: Make sure to select a version for each component. If you
do not select a version for a component, that component is not included
in the application process.
- If the process has properties, specify values for those
properties.
- Optional: To schedule the deployment for a
later date, click Schedule Deployment? and
then specify when to run the deployment.
- Click Submit.
Results
The server runs the application process with the specified
component versions. You can view the process requests by going to
the
History tab for the environment or application.
