ALM - Rocket Aldon Lifecycle Management (LMi or LMe) performs two distinct steps.
PROMOTEMoves objects within the ALM from one environment to the next within the ALM database without affecting the outside world..
e.g. from Quality-check to Inventory
DEPLOYCopy objects (Extract) from an environment to Install in a library or path that are not directly managed by the ALM (i.e the outside world that is external to ALM).
Often these copies are installed on a REMOTE server.
e.g.Deploy to the Quality-check approval server or the Production server.
Seamless configurationYour ALM could be configured to seamlessly trigger Deployment following a successful Promote:
LMe:LMe Client > Setup (Menu Item) > Release Configuration > Expand your Group/Application/Release > select Environments > Right-Click the Environment to Deploy from > Properties > Options (tab) > Select your Deployment Profile
LMi:Main Menu > 13. Work with releases > 2=Change > 1. Change options > Page down (5 times) > change one or more of the following lines to Y as required
Install live when promoting to ITG . . N
Install live when promoting to QUA . . N
Install live when promoting to PDN . . N
