Transport Promotion and Pipeline Activity

Transport Promotion

In ReleaseOwl, transport promotion refers to the controlled and automated movement of Transport Requests (TRs) across various stages of the release pipeline, typically from DEV → QA → PROD.

Steps to Promote a Transport

1. Click on the action menu (⋯) next to the transport.

2. Select the Promote option.

3. The transport will then be promoted to the next environment (e.g., from DEV to QA or QA to PROD), depending on its current stage in the pipeline.

Note: Before a transport can be promoted, it must be assigned to a User Story.

• The User Story must be linked to a Release Pipeline.

• If not properly assigned, you will receive a warning indicating the missing association, and the promotion will not proceed.
