Approvals

Approval processes tell Deployment Automation what to do when an application environment requires approval.

An approval process must be created if the Requires Approval option is selected when you add or edit an application environment.

When a process requires approval to run, approvers are responsible for verifying that the deployment is ready to run and deciding when they release it to run by approving it. If the system is configured with an email server and the user has an email address set, notifications are sent to users who are eligible to complete an approval step.

If a scheduled deployment requiring approval reaches its start time without approval given, the process doesn't run and instead fails with a message that it could not start. To resubmit a request, you must request a new process. If an approval-requesting process doesn't have a scheduled deployment time, the process remains idle until a response has been made.
