we are trying to schedule a deploy, something like every sunday at 4 am, do deploy, even if nothing has changed, but reading official docs of IBM Cloud: here, the docs does not match with tools in console:

Docs:

Real:

So, the question is: how can we schedule a deployment?

Update:

We only see this options:

after clicking "Config Stage" we see:

There are 2 options available:

  1. Execute on previous stage finished
  2. Manually excecute stage

The docs you refer to are describing a capability provided by the (currently experimental) Composite Pipeline feature. If you want to try this, go to the toolchains page (https://console.bluemix.net/devops) and click on the "Pipelines" item, then click on the "Learn More" link on the "New experimental feature!"

Note that this feature is experimental, and is not available in all regions. In addition we may change how we deliver the capabilities Composite Pipeline current provides over time.

  • i did it, but i was not able to complete the steps, please see Update 2 of question. – Ninja Coding Jan 09 '18 at 17:55
  • Can you try creating a toolchain in US South and seeing whether it works for you there? (I'm just trying to understand whether it's a problem in that region, with your account, or something else). – McQ Wilson Jan 09 '18 at 18:11
  • sure, i will try again, 1 min please. – Ninja Coding Jan 09 '18 at 18:18
  • Ok. I'll ask for one more piece of information: What is the exact URL in the browser when you are on the pipelines page and seeing the error? For example, for me it looks like: https://console.bluemix.net/devops/pipelines/dashboard?env_id=ibm:yp:us-south If we can't diagnose the problem after this, you'll have to enter a support ticket and get a real developer to help you. :-) – McQ Wilson Jan 09 '18 at 20:52
  • thank you verymuch, problem/error was fixed this night, today i was able to create composite pipeline – Ninja Coding Jan 10 '18 at 18:11
  • your answer is the solution of this question, since the steps are right. thank you – Ninja Coding Jan 10 '18 at 18:12
  • just another thing please, how can we schedule a periodical deployment? something like "every sunday". (please see update 3) we have to add manually each deployment schedule – Ninja Coding Jan 10 '18 at 18:39
  • I'd actually like to have a longer conversation with you about the feature you're looking for. The simplest way to do this is probably to go to the developerWorks forums and ask your question here: https://developer.ibm.com/answers/topics/devops-services/ – McQ Wilson Jan 10 '18 at 19:04
