New deployment property not found in existing deployment plan

Products

• CA Release Automation - Release Operations Center (Nolio)

Issue/Introduction

We have added a new deployment property in a template categories for one of the application model.

During Deployment, we found an issue where the existing deployment plans says that deployment property does not exist.

Environment

Release : 6.6, 6.7, 6.x

Component : CA RELEASE AUTOMATION CORE

Cause

The error you are getting is a valid error as per product design. Please understand below analogy with respect to a deployment in CA Release Automation (RA).

Deployment Templates: These are blueprint of a deployment. It can be considered as blueprint of building. You are allowed to make changes/addition to this blueprint as they are mutable and just a design entity.

Deployment Plans: These are casted instance of a deployment template which is immutable. Any design addition/modification is not permissible.

Resolution

To incorporate a change made in Deployment Template in the Deployment Plan, please create a new Deployment Plan from modified Deployment Template.
