Working with environments
An Environment serves as a self-contained workspace for authorized users, containing Rivers, Connections, Variables, and River groups managed by the Account Administrator.
Use Environments to migrate content between workspaces. Each environment remains fully isolated and has its own set of users, letting users to be part of multiple Environments.
Environment supports multiple teams to use the Data Integration platform simultaneously without accessing unauthorized projects. Administrator can easily update Environments and user permissions as needed, as statuses change.
Only Administrator can manage Environments. They have permission to create, edit, deploy packages, and undo changes. To learn more about this feature, refer to the user roles and capabilities.
Variables
The platform uses environment variables throughout, and each Environment maintains its own set of variables.
You can do this by:
- Changing the Environment variable values.
- Setting new variables directly in the display table.
- Editing and deleting Variables as needed.
Settings
The Settings tab includes options to customize your work with Environments. You can apply your preferences and changes to all packages and the default settings for new ones.
A Package merges Data Integration objects from one Environment into another.
When deploying an Environment, note that:
- You can overwrite River variables, while Environment variables can maintain their original values.
- The toggle in the Variable Deployment section of the Settings tab applies only to Environment variables.
Deployments
Deployments, also known as Deployment Packages, include collections of Rivers, Connections, Variables, and River Groups. You can move these from one Environment to another. Each deployment package has its own settings that specify which related entities include in the deployment.
