Task catalog
Deployment Manager supports a range of tasks to support the different application deployment scenarios for Pega powered applications. Tasks relevant to a use case are structured by environment templates and pipeline templates.
See below for the two different task structures:
- Environment template: When the environment template on a stage is configured to anything other than custom, recommended tasks are populated for the environment template. A list of available tasks for the stage provides all tasks that can be added as necessary. When the environment template for a stage is custom, no recommendation or restriction applies to a stage. Users can choose any tasks from the tasks available in the system.
- Pipeline template: Pipeline templates drive the range of tasks available though the
environment type. Adding a task to a stage requires you to decide the step on which
you want to add a stage and then follow the following steps:
- In the navigation pane of Deployment Manager, click , and then click the name of the pipeline.
- Select the pipeline name. Click .
- On the pipeline model screen, identify the position where you need to add the task.
- Click the more icon on the task and click Add task below.
- From the task menu, select the task and click Select.
- Update the required task details.
- Click Save.
- Generate artifact
Exports the artifact as defined in the product rule and publishes to the development repository.
- Deploy application
Exports the artifact from the repository and deploys the application in the current stage environment.
- Check guardrail compliance
This task returns an error if guardrail compliance for this application is less than the compliance score. As a best practice, Pega recommends a compliance score of 97 for highly performing applications.
- Check branch guardrail
This task returns an error if guardrail compliance for the branch associated with the deployment is less than the compliance score. As a best practice, Pega recommends a compliance score of 97 for highly performing applications.
- Verify security checklist
Prepares the application for a secure deployment.
- Publish to production
Promotes the application artifacts to production repository.
- Get merge conflict
Before a merge action is performed, this provides details on the conflicts from the changes in the specified branch identified by branch ID (input parameter).
- Merge
This task merges the changes residing in the branch identified by branch ID (input parameter) to the SOR (System of Record) where the development changes are committed.
- Run pega units on branch
Executes PegaUnit tests for the pipeline application. This task returns an error if the pass percentage is less than 100%.
- Deploy branch
Exports the branch artifact from the repository and deploys the branch into the current stage environment.
- Check branch review status
Ensures the review on the specified branch is closed.
- Perform manual step
Pauses the deployment and assigns a manual task to the user or adds an approval requirement from a stakeholder for a critical action.
- Update application on access group
Update access groups with new application version.
- Trigger deployment
Triggers a deployment of the specified application pipeline.
- Run Jenkins task
This task is executed on the Jenkins environment. Please ensure that it is properly configured on your Jenkins environment.
- Validate test coverage
Stops the test coverage session at the application level and updates the quality metrics for the application. It throws an error either if the test coverage percentage is less than the defined test coverage percentage, or if a test coverage session is not in progress for this application.
- Enable test coverage
This task starts an application-level test coverage session that captures which rules are covered and uncovered while the test gates are running. It provides an intermediate input option named "Restart Test Coverage" if the test coverage session is already in progress for this application. Clicking on this option will stop the active coverage session on candidate application and starts a new one.
- Run pega unit tests
Executes PegaUnit tests for the pipeline application or the application given by the access group. If the test suite ID is configured, tests in that test suite are executed. Otherwise, all PegaUnit tests for the application are executed. This task returns an error if the pass percentage is less than 100%.
- Refresh application quality
Regenerates the application quality metrics.
- Update overlay application
This task is only used in Business change pipelines, and it works in conjunction with the NewApplication task. It updates the built-on of the pipeline's application to be the one that was created by the NewApplication task
- Run pega scenario (sauce labs)
Runs the application Pega scenario tests on Sauce Labs Testing tool. If the test suite ID is configured, this executes the tests in that test suite. Otherwise, this executes all scenario tests for the application. This task fails if the test pass rate is less than 100%.
- Run pega scenario (standalone selenium)
Runs the application Pega scenario tests in a standalone-selenium provider. If the test suite ID is configured, this executes the tests in that test suite. Otherwise, this executes all scenario tests for the application. This task fails if the test pass rate is less than 100%.
- Run pega scenario (CBT)
Runs the application Pega scenario tests on a cross-browser testing tool. If the test suite ID is configured, this executes the tests in that test suite. Otherwise, this executes all scenario tests for the application. This task fails if the test pass rate is less than 100%.
- Run pega scenario (browser stack)
Runs the application Pega scenario tests in Browser Stack. If the test suite ID is configured, this executes the tests in that test suite. Otherwise, this executes all scenario tests for the application. This task fails if the test pass rate is less than 100%.
- New application
Creates a new application version.
