4 RELEASES
4.1 Overview
Releases represent the physical act of deploying your application through a Release Path until the Target Stage is
reached. Throughout this process, release management performs a number of checks to ensure that components are
only installed on a Server when the owner of the corresponding Environment allows it. A Release is based on a
Release Template.
A Release can be created from the Releases view under Track Releases by selecting the New option. You can also
create a Release directly from inside a Release Template by selecting the New Release option.
4.2 Properties
When a new Release is created you are presented with the Release Properties dialog. This is where you can specify
the name of your Release, a Description, and some Installation Instructions.
If the Release is created from the Release Template, the corresponding property is set. If the Release is created
directly from the Releases list, then you must first select the Release Template based on which the Release will
execute.
