Release Candidate Configuration
The Release Candidate Configuration menu is a feature included in environments that have the Blue-Green module enabled. Blue-Green allows you to test changes in a controlled environment through "experiments" by deploying the updates to a reduced number of users. To read more detailed information about this module, go to Blue-Green.
The Release Candidate Configuration menu contains options that apply to all your Blue-Green experiments, regardless of the type of experiment or application involved.
Transactions Management
The Associated Transactions page shows the list of transactions that will appear associated by default when creating a new release candidate.
To access it, click Release Candidate Configuration > Transactions Management. To add a new transaction to the list, click add transaction and select a transaction from the drop-down menu.
Edit running experiments
The Associated Transactions page allows you to edit transactions for running experiments. To do this, add or delete transactions from the list while there are experiments running.
Warning
Warning: Editing the list of transactions will apply your changes to all running experiments.
Groups Management
The Groups Management page allows you to create and view groups of users whom you can assign to blue or green when creating a new experiment or editing an experiment.
To access the Groups Management page, click Release Candidate Configuration > Group Management.
To create a new group, click Create New Group. Give the group a name, select the application you are going to test with this group and click Add users. You can add users to the groups individually or in bulk.
When you finish adding users to the group, click Save.
In the User field, type the user name as it appears in the database. In the Detail field, you can add a description to help you identify the user. Click Add to list.
Click Import Users and select a .csv file from your computer. The .csv file must have a line for each user, with the user's name and description separated by a comma. No spaces or quote marks are allowed. Use the following example as reference: agutierrez,productowner jgonzalez,siteadmin siglesisas,siteadmin
List of Closed Experiments
The Release Candidates Deployment History page shows a list of all the experiments that were stopped in your system.
To access it, click Release Candidate Configuration > List of Closed Experiments.
The list shows closed experiments in a table with a row for each experiment and columns that show the experiment's name, description, type, product, and period (dates of the experiment's start and end, including total running time). Click View Detail next to the running time of an experiment to view its details.
