Description

Field

Description

Gate Name

The name of the gate.

Description

An optional description for the gate.

Schedule Cron Expression

The Cron Expression to use for setting up the schedule.  Sample cron expressions are provided in the drop-down. Cron Expressions entered are descriptively parsed if valid

Multiple Cron Expressions can be specified using semicolon as a delimiter. For example, 

0 0 11 ? * *;0 0 12 ? * *

is equivalent to

0 0 11-12 ? * *

For details on Cron Expression Syntax see Cron Trigger Tutorial

Schedule Override Role

The pipeline role that has privileges to override the gate if required.  Optionally, use a Groovy expression to make this field dynamic based on some contextual value (e.g. a property defined on the pipeline, and specified on the release).

When using a role script you can dynamically return a key/value pair. For example return [type: 'groupName', value: 'FD Administrators']. Supported types are roleId, roleName, groupId, and groupName. You can return Map with single key/value pair or list of such single key/value maps.

If not specified, only a FlexDeploy Administrator can approve or reject the gate.

Precondition

An optional Groovy script which determines whether the gate or step is applicable during execution. The script has access to variables and methods listed in Pipeline Groovy Variables and Methods. You can find these variables and methods while using the Groovy Editor.

The script must return true if the gate is applicable, or false otherwise.  If no script is provided, the default is to return true (applicable).
