Introduction
The Continuous Delivery Pipeline has undergone a significant redesign to empower users with enhanced control and visibility over their deployment processes. This revamped feature now offers two distinct views: Environment View and Environment Group View, each tailored to provide comprehensive insights into the latest deployments across all continuous deployment phases, accompanied by detailed build and deployment history information to meet the specific needs of Release Managers, Environment Managers, Test Managers, and Delivery Teams.
When testers or product owners deploy new features at scale, the Continuous Delivery Pipeline allows them to:
- Monitor Deployment Progress: Track the deployment progress of new features across various environments in real-time.
- Ensure Consistency: Ensure consistency in the deployment process across different environments, from development to production.
- Access Deployment History: Access detailed deployment history to review past deployments and identify any issues or discrepancies.
- Gain Visibility: Gain visibility into source code changes, build versions, and deployment status to ensure transparency and accountability.
- Facilitate Collaboration: Facilitate collaboration between development, testing, and operations teams by providing a centralized platform for managing deployment activities.
Pre-requisite
You must have the ‘View Continuous Delivery Pipeline’ user permission.
Navigation
Environment > Continuous Delivery Pipeline
Access Continuous Delivery Pipeline
Navigate to Environment > Continuous Delivery Pipeline and select Environment view or Environment Group view from the drop-down.
View Options
Environment view
The Environment View presents a comprehensive pipeline overview of all environments associated with each system. Users can effortlessly track the latest build versions deployed to each environment, filter environments and subsystems based on specific criteria, and delve into detailed deployment histories.
Key Features:
- Cascading filter options for System, Subsystem, and Environments.
- Display of environments grouped by their ‘Used for Phase’ value.
- Detailed information for each environment, including:
- Environment Name
- Linked Build
- Active and Inactive Subsystem instance counts
- Deployments count in the last 7 days
- Details of the last Deployment (Date, System, Build)
- Access to filtered Subsystems and deployed Builds.
Environment Group view
The Environment Group View offers users a holistic perspective of the continuous delivery pipeline organized by environment groups. Users can easily monitor the current build details for each environment within a group, filter environments by system, explore comprehensive group, environment, and build details, and drill down into subsystem instances for deeper insights.
Key Features:
- Cascading filter options for Environment Group and System.
- Display of environment groups grouped by their ‘Used for Phase’ value.
- Comprehensive information for each environment group, including:
- Environment Group Name
- Count of Environments
- Active and Inactive Subsystem instance counts
- Deployments count in the last 7 days
- Details of the last Deployment (Date, System, Build)
- Access to filtered Environments and deployed Builds.
Builds data on the page
If Builds are enabled
If Builds feature is enabled in Customization > Build > Build Setup, then Continuous Delivery Pipeline will display Build #, Build Tag and Build Status instead of the Environment Component’s Summary Version Number.
See Manage Builds for more details.
If Builds are disabled
If Builds feature is disabled in Customization > Build > Build Setup, then Continuous Delivery Pipeline will display Environment Component’s Summary Version Number instead of the Build data.
See Manage Technical Specs and Configuration for more details.
