Release Management Configuration

The
Release Management Configuration
 tab navigates to the
Global Configuration
 page. The page enables administrators to set values (tenant thresholds) for release parameters which are then displayed on the
Release Management
 page so release managers determine whether to allow a given release (
go/no go
 decision).
Example: the administrator sets the release threshold for failed unit tests at 5%. If the current release is at 4%, and all other thresholds are within the specified levels, the release manager is informed that the release can proceed. But if the failed unit tests parameter is at 6%, the release manager is informed that the parameter is out of acceptable range and he should withold the release.
The Global Configuration page presents a Tenant Parameters table containing all supported release parameters, and their associated tenant thresholds. Use the following procedure to set the thresholds:
  1. Click the
    Edit Configuration
     button located above the table on the right. The service displays the Edit Configurations list. The list contains all supported parameters, each of which has an associated field for the threshold.
  2. Edit the threshold field to set the appropriate threshold.
  3. Click
    Save configuration
     to commit the thresholds, or
    Cancel
     to abort the operation.
The releases that are available for assessment are limited to those that have occurred in the previous 180 days.
As the administrator you can also edit which columns the table displays. Click the gear icon located to the left of the Edit configuration button to display the column selection array. The array contains three check boxes:
  • All columns:
     Display all available columns.
  • Parameters:
     Display the supported release parameters.
  • Tenant threshold:
     Display the set threshold for the associated parameter.
Click
Apply
 to save your selections,
Reset
 to reset the selection (all columns) or
Cancel
 to abort your selections.
A search feature is also available. Click the hour glass icon located next to the gear icon to display the search field. Enter all or part of the parameter name in the search field to filter out all parameters except those you are seeking.
You can delete parameters from the table. Click the checkbox next to each parameter you want to delete and click the
Delete
 button to continue or
Cancel
 to abort the deletion. If you click the
Delete
 button, the service displays a confirmation dialog requesting a reason for deleting the parameter (required). Enter a reason in the
