Release management is one of the key activity when it comes to manage the processes versions.
we create packages and we take release from it as and when required and we need to name the release manually every time with own naming convention.
it would be good if an automatic version of the each release can be generated while taking the release prompt a pop up which allows to accept/reject the release version.
if accept then create a release with same as process name with version automatically.
also the pop up will give a area to add the description to that release, why that version is generated where reason is added to justify it.
example:
PID_001_Process_Order_Creation
i create a package with name UAT_PID_001_Process_Order_Creation
similarly for PROD_PID_001_Process_Order_Creation
as i need to take multiple releases as and when changes are done, blueprism can just create a release with a version.
Example:
UAT_PID_001_Process_Order_Creation_0.1
Desc : initial release for UAT
UAT_PID_001_Process_Order_Creation_0.2
Desc : bug fixed and changes added as per the business requirement in order status.
PROD_PID_001_Process_Order_Creation_0.1
Desc : initial prod release
it saves time of the developer and will not mislead if there are too many releases in backup. this automatic versioning will be maintained automatically by allowing auditors to track, when and how many releases are taken and the reason of it by looking into the description and version number.
Looking forward to hear back from team on the same.
will be adding more details to it if this idea is worth.
Thanks
