How do I forward my application version to the next application in the DTAP street?

[Reza]

We want to forward the application version of the development environment to the acceptance and production environment. How can we do this? Thank you.

Hi Reza,

In Deployment, you can go to the Order that you used for this version.

Here, go to “Instances in DTAP street” (1).

On this screen, you see the applications that are up-tp-date (2: Test, Acceptance) and the instance that isn’t yet (3: Production).

By selecting the application at (3) you can start the production installation with exactly the same application as on acceptance.

Hello Reza,

You can do that in two different ways.

Option 1: via the order. This is the fastest and most easy way.

• Find and open your order via either:

  • All apps > Management > Orders > Open orders
  • All apps > Application maintenance > General views > Orders

• Go to More > Instances in DTAP street

• Here you find an overview of all instances in your DTAP street per status (Needs update, Awaiting approval or Updated). To send and installation to the next instance of your DTAP simply select it and press ‘Update’. A new installation will be created based on the installation to the previous part of the DTAP street.
  In this example screenshot the update to the Test instance is started, but not yet approved.

Option 2: By manually adding an installation on acceptance and production instances.
Sometimes you don’t have an order (i.e. you need to reïnstall an applicationversion after a database restore). In that case you can:

• Open the instance you want to update. This should be the next instance in the order of the DTAP street.
• Add an installation of type Update from the installations grid
• Choose your (SVN) source
• In the dropdown ‘Based on installation’ you can choose a version from the previous instance in te DTAP street that you want to install.
• Check ‘Use source framework’ or choose a specific framework version manually
• Start the workflow. Any NB-plugins or datasets will be automaticly added from the ‘Based on installation’

Ik hope this helps. If you have more questions; feel free to ask

Hi Reza,

To add to the other solutions:

You can open the finished order in Deployment. On the order page you’ll find the button “Send to next application”. You might have to refresh the order page if you don’t see it:

Then you’ll arrive at a new Installation for the configured next application in your DTAP street, similarly to the other solutions.
