Introduction

In this tutorial, you learn about each stage of developing and managing lifecycles, and then practice creating and maintaining them in an example environment.

At the asset level, requirements for master and community lifecycles are inherited by the asset lifecycle. Lifecycle managers can add requirements for the asset to supplement those requirements specified by repository and community administrators.

This tree diagram shows how master lifecycle requirements are inherited by community lifecycles. Then, community administrators can add requirements to the community lifecycle. Master and community lifecycle requirements are inherited by asset lifecycles. Then, the lifecycle manager can add requirements to the asset lifecycle.

For example, a lifecycle manager might decide to invite additional reviewers for a specific asset. They might also adjust how a policy is configured, in order to better match the requirements of a particular asset.

Any changes that you make to the lifecycle configuration of an asset apply to only that asset. Your changes do not apply to other assets in the community that are using the same master or community lifecycle. If you often make the same adjustments to assets, you might ask a community administrator to adjust the lifecycle at the community level.

At the individual asset level, you cannot change the following aspects of the lifecycle:
  • The workflow for the lifecycle
  • The conditions for the asset to enter the lifecycle

Learning objectives

After completing this tutorial, you will understand:
  • Which capabilities you have based on your role within the lifecycle processes
  • How asset lifecycle properties are inherited from master and community lifecycles
  • How to customize lifecycles with policies appropriate for a particular type of lifecycle
  • How to complete a successful asset review based on a particular workflow
