Cloud Platform provides you the ability to start and track your different pipeline jobs with both an application in the user interface and a command-line interface.
Accessing the Pipelines user interface
To view information about your Pipelines in Cloud Platform:
Sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface with an account that has the Execute pipelines permission.
Select the application that you want to use.
In the left menu, click Pipelines.
The first time you visit the page, you can select from one of the following options:
Select a source for your repository
Start a pipeline job
View the available environments
Follow-on visits to the page (after you have configured your repository connection) will display a list of the logged pipeline jobs.
Managing your repository connection
Cloud Platform displays information about your repository connection, including its URL and several common Git commands. To examine or change your the repository connected to your application, on the Pipelines page click More Links.
You can then click View Connection Info, which allows you to change to a different repository for your application. To do this, click the Configure link, select the type of repository that you want to use, and then complete its configuration based on your repository. For information about using this process to connect to external code repositories, see Connecting an application to an external Git repo.
Webhooks
Webhooks are installed in a Git repository (Acquia Git, GitHub, or Bitbucket) and start Pipelines jobs based on new commits or pull requests.
Cloud Platform users using Acquia’s native Git installation can enable or disable webhooks in the Configure page by selecting the desired option from the Webhooks list.
Select an application.
Click Pipelines.
Click More links > View Application Info.
In the Webhooks section, click Enable or Disable as required.
Cloud Platform displays a confirmation dialog box in the upper right of the webpage.
Reviewing job activity
The Job List page for Cloud Platform provides an overview of the pipeline jobs that are both currently processing or have already completed. The webpage will regularly update to include any new jobs, or to reflect the status of any on-going or newly completed jobs. To learn more about the overview page, see Viewing Pipelines job history.
Detailed information about any job listed on the Job List page can be found by clicking on the job’s name in the Job column. To learn more about reading detailed job information, see Viewing job output.
Starting a pipeline job
To start a new pipeline job from the Cloud Platform interface:
Select the application for which you want to start a Pipelines job.
In the left menu, click Pipelines.
Click Start Job.
Cloud Platform will display a How to start a job dialog.
In the Branch Name field, enter the name of the branch that contains the build definition file that you want to use.
Click Start.
You can execute a maximum of five jobs at one time. Pipelines makes 15 attempts to start a queued job with an interval of five minutes.
Important
Pipelines executes subsequent jobs using the credentials of the user who first executes a Pipelines build. For more information on how to update to another user, see User permission issues.
