Configuring a virtual environment version

Introduction

To configure a virtual environment, you define a set of replacement rules for components used in any process flows that run in the environment. For example:

• If a process flow running in this environment includes Connector Instance X, then replace Connector Instance X with Connector Instance Y.

• If a script running in this environment includes Script X, then replace Script X with Script Y.

These replacements are configured in a virtual environment version, and each version has its own lifecycle.

To start, you add your required replacements to a draft version; when you're ready, the draft version is deployed, and if the existing deployed version is updated, it becomes inactive. For detailed information about this lifecycle, please refer to Understanding virtual environment versions.

Accessing the draft version for a new virtual environment

Having created a virtual environment, a draft version is generated automatically, ready for you to configure. To configure this draft with your required replacements, follow the steps below.

1

Open the draft version

If you're not already working in the required virtual environment, log in to the dashboard and select virtual environments | overview from the left-hand navigation menu, then select the environment to update.

2

Select the draft version

Move down to the versions panel and click id associated with the draft version - for example:

Alternatively, click the ellipsis associated with the draft version and select edit configuration - for example:

3

Configure replacements for the draft version

You can now configure replacement components for this version.

These instructions assume that you're accessing an existing draft version, having just created a new virtual environment. However, if you're updating an existing virtual environment, you might want to create a new draft - in this case, please refer to Updating a virtual environment version.
