The inventory for an environment lists the
component versions that are intended to be deployed to that environment. Compliance shows
whether the environment actually contains those component versions.
For example, assume that you run an application process that deploys
two component versions to an environment. Regardless of whether the
application process completes successfully, the environment inventory
shows that the two component versions are deployed. The compliance
shows how many of the components installed successfully. In this way,
the inventory shows the intended state of a resource or environment,
while the compliance shows how closely the resource or environment
matches the intended state.
The inventory provides complete visibility into the different versions
of your applications, which can be tracked back to the original artifacts
imported into
IBM® UrbanCode Deploy.
There are different views of the current inventory, depending on where
in
IBM UrbanCode Deploy you
are. Inventory information is available on the individual components,
for every application environment, and for each agent resource.
- The component inventory lists all of the resources on which a
component is deployed. To see the inventory for a component, click Components,
click the component, and look on the Dashboard tab,
under Inventory for Component.
- The resource inventory lists all of the components that are deployed
to an agent resource. To see the inventory for an agent resource,
click Resources, click the agent resource,
and then go to the Inventory tab.
- The environment inventory lists all of the component versions
that are deployed to an environment. To see the inventory for an environment,
click Applications, click the application,
and on the Environments tab, expand the environment.
