Managing pipelines

You manage pipelines by defining, editing, deleting, and tracking the execution history of pipelines.

About this task

The structure of a pipeline is defined using JSON format. You can use the following example JSON format to define a pipeline per your requirement:

{
    "name": "pipeline-name",
    "stages": [
        {
            "name": "stage-name",
            "blocks": [
                {
                    "environment": "environment-name",
                    "processes": [
                        "application-process-name-1",
                        "application-process-name-2"
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
Here, pipeline-name and stage-name are custom names. The stage-name can be named to signify the environments you want to deploy. The environment name and application process names must match with the ones existing in the application.
Note: You cannot set properties in the application pipelines. The properties must be preconfigured on the process, environment, and so on.

Manage pipelines from the Applications page as follows:

Procedure

  1. Go to application_name > Pipelines > Create Pipeline.
    The New Pipeline window is displayed.
  2. Enter a name for the new pipeline and save it.
    The Code View tab of the new pipeline is displayed.
  3. Define the structure of the pipeline using the JSON format as described above and save it.
    The new pipeline is listed in the Pipelines tab. You can manage pipelines by running, editing, or deleting a pipeline. Each pipeline includes its execution history. You can view or cancel a pipeline execution. Note that you can cancel pipelines with Started, Not Started, and Running status only. To run a pipeline, see Executing pipelines.
