Typical sequence
This topic provides an overview of a typical sequence for configuring Deployment Automation elements and deploying artifacts.
Although there is no set order, a typical sequence is as follows:
-
Create components and set your source configuration type and version import approach. The source configuration type points to where the artifacts for a component are stored. You can import the artifacts into Deployment Automation CodeStation automatically or manually. See Create components.
-
Create and design component processes, defining the processes you want performed on target machines before, during, and after deployment of the component artifacts. See Create and design component processes.
-
Create resources to represent logical locations on agent machines. See Create resources.
-
Create environments and assign resources to them. See Create environments.
-
Create and configure pipelines, sequencing environments and adding approvals. See Create pipelines.
-
Create an application, selecting the pipeline it will use. See Create applications.
-
Add components to the application. See Add components to applications.
-
Add environments to the application that are not included in the pipeline and map components to the environment resources they will use. See Map application components to resources.
-
Create and design an application process to control the deployment. An application process typically initiates multiple component processes. See Create and design application processes.
-
Run the application process to deploy the components. See Run deployment processes.
-
Create and design deployment packages to run multi-application deployments. See Create deployment packages.
