Understand FlexDeploy integration with Source Control Management Systems (SCM)
Be able to create/modify SCM Instances

FlexDeploy has native integration will all major Source Control Management Systems. The integration starts with creating named connections to the repository through the FlexDeploy repository.

Viewing the current list of SCM Instances is achieved by selecting Topology from the menu, then the Integrations tab from the left-hand pane. There are five types of integrations in FlexDeploy, but we will focus on Source Control in this tutorial.

Select the + in the upper right corner to create and configure a new GIT Instance. Configure the following:

Field	Description
Instance Code	A technical code for the instance, without any spaces. The codes are available as variables to shell and Groovy scripts, and therefore needs to comply with their limitations.
Instance Name	A descriptive name for the instance.
SCM Type	Type of Source Control Management System. We will use Git for this tutorial. Supported Source Control Management Systems are: Subversion Git Microsoft TFS Version Control PVCS CVS Perforce File System
SCM Properties	The remaining properties are specific to the selected SCM. For Git: Git URL Git User Git Password Git Timeout (optional)

Tip

Git URL also supports git and ssh protocols.

Click Test Connection to ensure FlexDeploy can connect to the repository. Click Save to apply the changes.
