Create Business Platform

A Business Platform will have multiple Business Groups with in which we have various environments.

A Business Platform helps us define a platform to Manage CICD by having a Business Group and the selective environments that participate in CICD.

Business Platform can have only one Business Group linked to it.

    • Select a specific Business Group by Choosing a Deployment Account.

    • Choose the environment sequence for Deployment (Deployment Sequence) in which the CICD should function.

If you do not want to associate a business platform to a life cycle, you can leave life cycle field blank. This will make the business platform an ad-hoc managed platform. Business platforms without a life cycle will not be able to take advantage of Deployment Groups functionality.

The business platform created is visible and usable only within the selected space. Ensure you are in the right space before creating any assets.
