Creating a loop

You can create a loop to build the pipeline of tasks across the integrated capabilities in HCL DevOps Loop.

Before you begin

Ensure that the following prerequisites are completed:

About this task

When you create a loop, DevOps Loop creates specific resources in each of the applications and also, installs and configures the required plugins. During the loop creation, when the plugins are installed and configured, personal access tokens are created in Plan, Control, and Test. On loop creation, the respective users are added to the specific resources in each of the capabilities.

Procedure

  1. Click Teamspace > <teamspace_name> to navigate to your teamspace.
  2. Click Create Loop on the home page of your teamspace.
    The Define Loop tab is displayed.
  3. Perform the following actions in the Define Loop tab:
    1. Enter a loop name.
      Note: The first five characters for the loop name must always be unique, and they should not be reused while creating another loop.
    2. Optional: Enter details about the loop in Description.
    3. Optional: Enable the Learning Loop option to prepopulate the loop with demo data for exploring workflows and practicing tasks.
  4. Click Next.
    The Invite Members tab is displayed.
  5. Perform the following actions in Invite Members tab.
    1. Enter the email ID of the team member to be added to the loop in Search members.
    2. Click Add.
  6. Click Create.
    The loop setup process begins. A progress view displays the status of each capability being initialized. Once all the capabilities are fully initialized, the loop is successfully created.
    For details about the capabilities and resources configured during loop creation, see Capabilities and resources configured during loop creation.

    What to do next: After the loop is created, DevOps Loop automatically provisions the required resources and integrations across all capabilities. You can begin using these resources based on your workflow needs.

    The following examples show common actions you may perform after creating a loop. These are optional and depend on the tasks you want to complete within the loop:
