VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
captures the content from the source
control endpoint and creates a new version of the content in the content
catalog. This version is marked
SourceControl
Enabled
, which tells
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
the state of the content when deploying to a content
endpoint so the content is checked in against the right point in time.
If you are using source
control and have multiple capture content endpoints, only deploy content from
the content catalog is marked
SourceControl
Enabled
. This communicates the state of the content when deploying
to a content endpoint so the content is checked in against the right point in
time.
