Managing multiple releases of a content package

You can use
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
content management options to release content for multiple product types. r
Use these options to deploy releases of products such as
vSphere
,
VMware Aria Operations
, and
VMware Aria Automation
in a single request.
Note that failure to deploy one or more of the selected content types, does not roll back successfully deployed content that is part of the request.
  1. On the
    My Services
    dashboard, click
    Content Management
    .
  2. Under
    Content
    , select
    Content Item List
    .
  3. Expand the
    Filter Applied
    list.

    Content Filter
    section, user filters to specify to a subset of the content you want to view and deploy.

  5. After you select a content filter, you can add a tag and then click

    .
  6. To save your filters, click
    Save
    .
    Developers can only view their filters and release managers can view all other RM filters. The saved filters can be edited or deleted.
    After you set the content filters, the default content view changes to
    Content Version List
    . When you provide a filter, you can locate a specific version of the content, for example, Production Ready Content with a specific tag and of a specific set of content types. For example, display only
    VMware Aria Automation
    cloud templates.
  7. To deploy the content to a release endpoint, respond to the wizard prompts.
  8. Click
    Actions
    and select
    Checkin
    .
    You can check in multiple content after filtering and selecting contents. When you perform a multi-capture test and release, verify that the capture is successful because if one of the content capture fails, the entire content pipeline is marked as failed. Based on multi-capture pipeline failure, you cannot move to the next step of testing and releasing a pipeline.
  9. To check in multiple content, use the following procedure:
    1. Select an
      Endpoint repository
      .
    2. if you want to capture all the dependencies, select
      Include all Dependencies
      and merge the package, if required.
    3. Click
      Check-in
      .
  10. Select an appropriate endpoint to each type of content appears.

    endpoints are assumed by their parent automation instance. If there are standalone
    VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator
    endpoints configured, you can also deploy them.
