Deployment process

Commit, promotion, demotion and deployment are the central concepts of the deployment process:

Commit

The deployment process starts when a package is committed. Package is the unit of commit which means changes are committed on the package level. When a package is committed, changes made into it are stored in the commit repository as a new package version and the package version is ready to be promoted and deployed.

Promotion

To be able to deploy a package to a Runtime environment, it needs to be promoted to that environment. Promotion can be thought of as an approval for deployment. Promotion also enables the deployment of several packages at once.

Demotion

Deployment installs changes in the promoted package versions to the target database and to Workflow Orchestration. You can deploy several promoted packages at once.

Deployment

Deployment installs changes in the promoted package versions to the target database and to Workflow Orchestration. You can deploy several promoted packages at once.


Deployment settings

Deployment settings define how the deployment process continues after a commit. Note that deployment settings are maintained by the support team in ADE SaaS edition.

Setting

Description

Options

AUTOMATIC PROMOTION

Controls per Runtime environment whether packages are automatically promoted after they have been committed.

false = Deployment Management waits for manual promotion to Runtime environment.

true = The package is promoted automatically to Runtime environment.

AUTOMATIC DEPLOY

Controls per Runtime environment whether packages are automatically deployed after they have been committed and promoted.

false = Deployment Management waits for manual deployment to Runtime environment.

true = The package is promoted automatically to Runtime environment.

ON ERROR CONTINUE DEPLOY

Controls per Runtime environment whether the deployment of other packages is continued if one or more packages fail.

false = Deployment does not continue if one or more packages fail.

true = Deployment continues even if one or more packages fail.

Deployment settings are visible in the Designer main view next to the Package List.


Notes

If AUTOMATIC DEPLOY = false for an environment, you can promote multiple packages to that environment first and deploy all of them at once by running the deployment after.

Note if you are using Private Edition & deprecated Jenkins UI:

You can only use either the new Deployments UI or the deprecated Jenkins UI. After starting to use the Deployments UI, you cannot go back to the Jenkins UI.
