Based on the configuration of
a lifecycle, you might have to manually change the state of an asset.
Before you begin
You must have the appropriate permissions
to edit an asset to manually change the state of an asset. In addition
a number of conditions, for example, a grade of 'pass' on
all policies, might have to be met before an asset can change states.
To modify the overall lifecycle, you must be a community administrator.
About this task
You cannot submit any changes to the description or artifacts
for the asset and change the state of the lifecycle at the same time.
Update the asset and then change the state of the lifecycle for the
asset.
Procedure
- Find the asset on the repository by
using the Asset Search view. You can search with any combination of
keywords, filters, and tags. Your search results
are displayed in the Assets view.
- To open the Asset Editor view for the asset,
in the Assets view, double click the name of the asset.
- On any page of the asset, select
a transition from the list at the top of the asset.
- Click Save.
- If any conditions for the transition are not met, you will
see warnings. To view the exit conditions for a lifecycle state (for
example, policies that must pass or users that must approve), click
the Review tab. Correct any issues and repeat
step 3.
Results
Depending on how the lifecycle is
configured, multiple policies might run on an asset when it leaves
one state or enters a different state. When the asset is in a different
state, your permissions for that asset might be different.
