Managing Container List

A Container is a package or collection of modules that makes up an Application development or change work request. The Container List in the following figure includes 13 Containers: 6 Assignments, 1 Release, and 6 Sets. One of the Sets is colored red to indicate an Error condition.

A Container is a useful Code Pipeline facility designed to help Applications staff structure and manage their work. These Code Pipeline Containers are more than just tracking numbers. They are a way to group modules together logically to control and coordinate Application change components as one unit.

A Container is analogous to a PC file folder, but with an important difference. Within that file folder are objects in various different types of files, but it is possible to pick up and manage those objects as if they were all in one directory.

Types of Containers

Containers may be one of three different types: Assignments, Releases, or Sets.

  • Assignments are collections of Tasks (modules) that belong to a particular project or work request. An Assignment has one or more Tasks and can be a personal Assignment or shared within a project team. A Task must belong to an Assignment, though Tasks can be viewed in different Releases or Sets.
  • Releases are collections of functionally related Tasks that could all belong to the same Assignment, or could span multiple Assignments.
  • Sets are temporary collections of Tasks that exist only long enough to perform some particular operation, like Generate or Promote.
