Release applications
You use a number of applications to create and manage releases. These applications are contained in the Release module, which is accessed from the Go To menu.
- Releases application
You use the Releases application to plan, review, and prepare for releases across your environment. You define releases to manage large-scale deployments of authorized versions of software into a production environment; for large or critical hardware roll-outs; and for bundling related sets of changes. Releases detail the tasks, scheduling, and people or groups involved in the release. You can customize the flow of activities and ensure that release tasks are completed in the right order by the right people. - Definitive Media Library application
A Definitive Media Library (DML) is a secure compound in which the definitive, authorized versions of software package configuration items (CIs) are stored and protected. A DML consists of one or more software libraries or file-storage areas, referred to as repositories. You use the Definitive Media Library application to create, edit, and manage DML repositories. - Additional Release module applications
In addition to the primary applications that are used to process releases (Releases, Definitive Media Library, and Deployment), the Release module provides access to the Activities and Tasks, Change Schedule, and Process Requests applications. These additional applications are used frequently when releases are processed.
