Associating components with environments

After you have created environments and have created components in an application, you need to associate components with the environments. A component that is associated with an environment is called an installed component. For each environment, you can map the component to a different server.

After associating a component with an environment, you can assign a version number to the installed component. You can also associate the installed component with servers, server groups, or server level groups.

To associate components with environments

1. From Dashboard > My Applications or from the Applications tab, click the relevant application name.
2. To copy all component associations from one environment to any number of target environments, perform the following actions:
   1. Click the source environment to expand it and display its list of associated components.
   2. Click Clone Environment Components under the list of components.
   3. Select the target environments (to which to copy component associations), and then click Save.
3. To associate individual components with a single environment, perform the following actions:
   1. Click the target environment to expand it and display its list of associated components.
   2. Drag each component that you want to associate from the components list on the right, and drop it on the list of environment components on the left.
4. To remove a component from the list of components associated with an environment (in the environment's expanded display), click the Remove installed component icon in the right-most column, and then click OK.

To assign a version number to an installed component

1. From Dashboard > My Applications or from the Applications tab, click the relevant application name.
2. Click the relevant environment to expand it and display its list of associated components.
3. Click the relevant component name.
4. In the displayed dialog box, enter the version number in the Version field.
5. Click Save changes.

To associate installed components with servers

1. From Dashboard > My Applications or from the Applications tab, click the relevant application name.
2. Click the relevant environment to expand it and display its list of associated components.
3. Click the relevant component name.
4. In the displayed dialog box, in the Associate with field, select whether to associate with a server, server group, or server level group.
5. Select the servers, server groups, or server level groups with which to associate the installed component.
6. Click Save changes.
