In addition to creating a Release Bundle v2 from builds, it is possible to create a Release Bundle from one or more existing Release Bundles. For example, this can be used when multiple development teams are working on different microservices, each of which has its own Release Bundle. When it comes time to release a new version of the entire product, the various Release Bundles for the microservices can be combined into a single Release Bundle containing the complete release.
To create a Release Bundle v2 from existing Release Bundles:
In the Application module, select Artifactory > Release Lifecycle. The Release Lifecycle dashboard is displayed.
Click the Create Release Bundle button and then select From Release Bundles from the list.
In the Release Bundle Details tab of the New Release Bundle window, do the following:
Enter a name for the Release Bundle. (If a Release Bundle was previously created from the selected build, its name will appear.)
Enter the version number of the Release Bundle.
[optional] Select a signing key. If you do not select a key, a default key (generated by Artifactory automatically) is used. See Create Signing Keys for Release Bundles (v2).
Note
Naming restrictions:
The name is limited to 128 characters.
The version is limited to 32 characters.
The name and version must begin with a letter, digit, or underscore.
The name and version must consist only of letters, digits, underscores, periods, and hyphens.
Warning
Make sure the signing key is valid. The operation will fail if the key has expired.
Click Next to move to the Bundles Selection tab.
Define the Release Bundle from which to create the Release Bundle:
Select the name and version of the Release Bundle from the list provided.
Click Add. The selected Release Bundle and version appear in the selection box.
[optional] Repeat step 5 to add additional Release Bundles to the new Release Bundle.
Click Create.
