Complete the following tasks to set up a pipeline for all supported CI/CD workflows. If you are using branches, you must configure additional settings after you perform the required steps.

• Configuring authentication profiles on the orchestration server and candidate systems

  Deployment Manager provides default operator IDs and authentication profiles. You must enable the default operator IDs and configure the authentication profiles that the orchestration server uses to communicate with the candidate systems.

• Configuring the orchestration server

  The orchestration server is the system on which release managers configure and manage CI/CD pipelines. Configure it before you use it in your pipeline.

• Configuring candidate systems

  Configure each system that is used for the development, QA, staging, and production stage in the pipeline.

• Configuring repositories on the orchestration server and candidate systems

  If you are using Deployment Manager on-premises, create repositories on the orchestration server and all candidate systems to move your application between all the systems in the pipeline. You can use a supported repository type that is provided in Pega Platform, or you can create a custom repository type.
