RLM create repo instance
You can use this automation script to create an instance for an existing repository on BMC Release Package and Deployment by using the BMC Release Process Management user interface. For this script to work, you must have a created repository on BMC Release Package and Deployment and the repository must be in the ready state.
Inputs required while creating a step
To use this automation script in a step, specify the following inputs:
Repo: Select in a list of repositories present in the database of BMC Release Package and Deployment. You must select the repository for which you want to create an instance.
Instance Name: Specify the name with which you want to create an instance for the repository selected. If you leave this field blank, then the instance is created with the default name, 0.0.0.8.
- Locked: To create a locked instance for the selected repository, select Yes. Otherwise, select No.
- Set Properties: This item is displayed only when you select a repository. The table displayed provides a list of properties that are associated with the selected repository on BMC Release Package and Deployment. You can select one of these properties to override its value with a property value in BMC Release Process Management. For this, you must first create a mapping of properties in BMC Release Process Management with that on BMC Release Package and Deployment.
