Summary
The HCL DevOps Deploy plugin for HCL DevOps Velocity synchronizes applications, processes, components, versions, snapshots, teams, environments, and more from HCL DevOps Deploy. A HCL DevOps Deploy application can be configured as an application in an HCL DevOps Velocity pipeline and the HCL DevOps Deploy processes can be configured in the HCL DevOps Velocity pipeline. The HCL DevOps Velocity Pipeline can then display the latest version of the application deployed to different environments.
Compatibility
The HCL DevOps Deploy plug-in requires HCL DevOps Velocity version 2.3 or later.

- Under the Action column for the plug-in, click Add Integration.
- On the Add Integration page enter values for the fields used to configure the integration and define communication.
- Click Save.
Using a JSON file
The JSON file contains the information for creating a value stream. Within the JSON file is a section for integrations. It is in this section that plug-in properties can be defined.
- From a value stream page, download the value stream map. The value stream map is a JSON file used to define integrations.
- Edit the JSON file to include the plug-in configuration properties.
- Save and upload the JSON file. This replaces the current JSON file with the new content.
- View the new integration on the Integrations page.
