Is it possible to block environment from manual start in deployment plan

[Anton_Kuryan]

Hi, here is little diagram:

Env1 and Env2 are deployed in parallel by deployment plan; Final env shall be triggered manually whenever suited. I want to safeguard myself from situation, when someone triggers final environment manually before  Env1 or Env2 have finished execution.
Is it possible by standard means of Bamboo or I shall go into scripting?

Hi @Anton_Kuryan

we don't have any mechanism in Bamboo to can prevent that.
I was trying to find a way to solve this problem and the best I could think of was somehow failing the final deployment when the results of Env1 and Env2 are still not available.

We don't have such restrictions or dependence between environments.

• Do you want me to create a feature request for that?
• If the answer is yes, what would be the format of this feature? Can you give me more details on how you see that this feature could work?

[Anton_Kuryan]

Yes, I would like to see it as a feature request, possibly coupled with another possibility: "and" behavior for Environment deployment switch (so, Final env shall be possible to start via Successful deployment trigger, which starts it only in case both envs are OK).

Format of a feature - maybe a dropbox at environment configuration which will say that environment is dependent on some other environments (so, I could select several with checkboxes, much like rights are assigned).

Can you advise on API call which I can use to track the status of previous environments?

Hi @Anton_Kuryan

I'm sorry for the delay here, I needed some quiet time to work on this and it was difficult to find.

This is the feature request I created based on your comment:

• [BAM-20677] Allow triggering an environment only when multiple specified environments run with success

This is a feature request that is related to the one we just created and could be of your interest:

• [BAM-17089] Deploy to multiple machines in parallel - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.

Can you advise on API call which I can use to track the status of previous environments?

I created this community article to allow you getting the environment result information you need from REST API:

• How to get Bamboo environment results from REST API
  You can skip some of the steps suggested in this document if you navigate to the environment you want and get the environment id from the URL.

Please add yourself as a watcher and vote in the feature requests above. If you have more comments on this matter, just let me know.

Thank you. I will look into it
