To create a snapshot, you specify which version of components
and processes to include in the snapshot. Typically, to create a snapshot
you copy the components and processes from an environment where you
successfully deployed the application.
Procedure
- From the IBM® UrbanCode Deploy dashboard,
click Applications, and then select an application.
- On the application page, click Snapshots,
and then click Create New Snapshot.
- Type the name of the snapshot in the Name field,
and type a description in the Description field.
- Click Save. The Component
Versions page opens for the new snapshot.
- Click Copy from Environment, and
then select the environment from which to copy components and processes. Typically, you create a snapshot by copying an environment in
which you successfully deployed and tested the application. This procedure
copies the currently deployed versions of the components from that
environment. You can also create a snapshot by copying another snapshot,
or by individually selecting versions of each component. To create
a snapshot from another snapshot, click Copy from Snapshot.
To select versions individually, for each component click Add
Versions in the Actions column.
After you click Add Versions, click the Versions field
to select a version of that component that is available in Codestation.
- Optional: To refine the versions of the component
processes in the snapshot, click . By default,
the most recently defined version of each component process and property
is used. Latest is displayed in the Versions column,
with the actual version in parentheses. For each process and property
in the list, you can select a specific version by clicking Set
Versions in the Actions column.
You can also reset all processes and properties to use the latest
versions by clicking Reset All to Latest. Conversely,
you can set all processes and properties that are set to Latest to
their current specific values by clicking Lock Loose Entries.
