Deploying the configuration for a virtual environment

Having configured all required replacements in your draft virtual environment version, it should be deployed. Deploying a draft virtual environment means that its configured replacements are applied when associated process flows run.

The steps detailed on this page show how to deploy a single process flow. If you need to deploy multiple process flows, consider using packages for greater efficiency.

Need to know

• When process flows run in a virtual environment, configured replacements are applied from the current deployed virtual environment version.

• When a draft virtual environment version is deployed, a new draft version is created (based on the previous one), ready for future updates.

• When a draft virtual environment version is deployed, it becomes available for selection when testing a process flow against virtual environments.

• When a draft virtual environment version is deployed, it becomes available for selection when deploying process flows to virtual environments.

The steps

1

Access the required virtual environment

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

Access options for the required version

Move down to the configuration versions panel and select the ellipsis associated with the draft version - for example:

Over time, the number of virtual environment versions displayed here will change. Typically, you will deploy the current draft version, but if required, you can deploy an inactive version using the same steps detailed here. For more information about virtual environment versions please refer to Understanding virtual environment versions.

3

Deploy the selected version

Select the deploy option - for example:

4

Test process flows against this environment

The draft version becomes deployed and a new draft is created - for example:

You can now go on to test your master process flows(s) against this environment.
