Support Re-run functionality for Full Releases in Release Orchestration
T
Tawny Aardvark
Summary
Currently, in the Release Orchestration (Release Management) module, there is no native option to re-run an existing release. If a release needs to be executed again (e.g., due to a transient failure or a requirement to repeat a specific release cycle), users must manually create an entirely new release.
Problem
For customers with complex release structure, creating a new release from scratch for every re-execution is a redundant manual effort that introduces operational overhead and slows down the delivery lifecycle.
Proposed Enhancement
Add a "Re-run" or "Restart" action for a Release. This should allow users to:
Trigger the full release orchestration again using the existing configuration.
Ideally, choose between re-running the full release or resuming/re-running from a specific failed stage.
Maintain a link or history between the original release attempt and the re-run for auditability.
Impact
This will significantly improve the developer experience by reducing the manual steps required to handle release repetitions or failures, ensuring a more streamlined and efficient Release Orchestration workflow.
