3.3 Deployment Sequence
Following the creation of a Release Template, you are placed in the Deployment Sequence view. The Toolbox
contains a list of all activities that can be added to the sequence. This can be done via a simple drag-and-drop
operation.
The Toolbox is organized into categories. There are static / system categories. The System Categories are Control
Flow, Servers, and Components. The remaining Categories are extracted from the Actions. When you edit an
Action, you can associate it to a Category.
Release management comes pre-packaged with a large number of ready-to-use Actions. All of these are documented
in the Appendix sections at the end of this user guide.
The Deployment Sequence view has some basic rules to remember:
 Each Stage has its own Deployment Sequence.
 Actions and Components can only be added to Servers.
 Servers can be organized in Sequence or Parallel activities.
 Titles of Parallel, Sequence, and Manual Intervention activities can be edited; all others are read-only.
 Server activities must have at least one child activity such as a Component or an Action.
 Rollback activities must have be preceded by at least one Component or Action.
 Rollback and Rollback Always activities must have at least one child activity such as a Component or an
Action.
