      If you have set Version for the Upload Software Package to Release Repos action, the software package will be saved in a folder named after the release version.

Obtaining a Software Package from a Release Repo for Deployment

This section uses the software package released in Releasing a Software Package via a Build Task to a Release Repo as an example to describe how to obtain this package from a release repo for deployment.

1. Go to the CodeArts homepage and click the target project name to access the project.
2. Choose Settings > General > Basic Resources. The Host Clusters page is displayed.
3. Click Create Host Cluster, enter the following information, and click Save. Add the target host to the created host cluster.
4. Create an application. Configure it as required. In this example, configure it as follows:
   • Select the Deploy a Tomcat Application template.
   • In the Select a Deployment Source action, select the software package stored in the location mentioned in Releasing a Software Package via a Build Task to a Release Repo.

5. On the Environment Management tab page, create environment and add hosts. For details, see Creating a Host Group and Adding Trusted Hosts to the Host Group.
6. Click Save & Deploy. Execute the deployment application. When the deployment status becomes successful, the deployment application has obtained the software package from the release repo and has deployed it on the target host.
