Publish Initiatives to Spoke Systems

Use this topic to know how you can publish an initiative to the spoke systems.

You can use an initiative to publish multiple run-time catalogs to the spoke systems. When you publish an initiative, all the entities within it are published. You define your catalog, push to a test environment, validate the product offer, and finally publish to a production environment.

Here's how you can publish your initiatives when you haven't set any approval process:

  1. On the Initiatives page, select the initiative that you want to publish.

  2. Click Confirm from the actions menu. This moves the initiative and its entities to Ready to Publish status.

  3. Click Publish from the actions menu. This option is available only if your initiative is in the Ready to Publish status.

If you have set an approval process, here's how you can publish your initiatives:

  1. On the Initiatives page, select the initiative that you want to publish.

  2. Click Confirm from the actions menu. This moves the initiative and its entities to Design Complete status.

  3. Click Initiate Approval from the actions menu.

    Your approver gets a notification for the approval request and you receive a confirmation message that your approval process is now initiated. Your approver may approve, reject, or add a comment for your request. You can check the status of your initiative from the initiatives list view page. If your request has been approved, the status changes to Ready to Publish state.

  4. Click Publish from the actions menu. This moves the initiative and its entities to Launched status.

The initiatives and entities are published and moved to an external application. So, from an In Design state, you can move the initiative to a test environment. Once testing is complete, the initiative progresses through its lifecycle. The publish process is driven by the lifecycle statuses. The destinations are automatically identified based on the lifecycle entry configuration. After you have published your initiatives, go to the Publish Tracker to see the status of the published initiatives.
