Creating a Lifecycle Environment Path

To create an application lifecycle for developing and releasing software, use the Library environment as the initial environment to create environment paths. Then optionally add additional environments to the environment paths.

Procedure

2. Click New Environment Path to start a new application lifecycle.

3. In the Name field, enter a name for your environment.

4. In the Description field, enter a description for your environment.

5. Click Save.

6. Optional: To add an environment to the environment path, click Add New Environment, complete the Name and Description fields, and select the prior environment from the Prior Environment list.

CLI procedure

1. To create an environment path, enter the hammer lifecycle-environment create command and specify the Library environment with the --prior option:

   # hammer lifecycle-environment create \
   --name "Environment Path Name" \
   --description "Environment Path Description" \
   --prior "Library" \
   --organization "My_Organization"

2. Optional: To add an environment to the environment path, enter the hammer lifecycle-environment create command and specify the parent environment with the --prior option:

   # hammer lifecycle-environment create \
   --name "Environment Name" \
   --description "Environment Description" \
   --prior "Prior Environment Name" \
   --organization "My_Organization"

3. To view the chain of the lifecycle environment, enter the following command:

   # hammer lifecycle-environment paths --organization "My_Organization"
