Create a release task

Prerequisites

To use the whitelist release model, create a whitelist before you release the card.

For more information about how to create a whitelist, see Whitelist management.

Procedure

1. Log on to the mPaaS console and select the target application from the application list.

2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Mobile Delivery Service > Ant Cube Card > Card Management to open the Card Management page.

3. On the Card Management page, click the card that you want to release in the Card List.

4. Click the Create a Release button to open the Create a Release page.

   

5. On the New Release page, configure the following parameters and click Submit.

   • Release Type: required. Select grayscale release or official release. Grayscale release allows you to configure the release model, whitelist, and advanced rules. Official release does not require these configurations.

   • Release Model: required. Select whitelist or time window.

     • Whitelist: Releases the card only to users on a specified whitelist.

       • Whitelist Configuration: If you select Whitelist as the release model, select a pre-created whitelist.

       Note

       If a selected whitelist contains more than 100,000 users, only the first 100,000 users are included.

     • Time Window: Performs a canary release to a limited number of users within a specified time period.

       • If you select the Time Window model, specify the window closing time and the number of users for the canary release.

   • Release Description: optional. A description of the release task.

   • Advanced Rules: optional. Release the card based on specific rules. You can configure Platform, Type, Operation Type, and Resource Value, as shown in the following figure.

     

     • Type: required. Supported types include city, model, network, and device system version.

     • Operation Type: required. Select contain or not contain. For the device system version type, additional in-range and out-of-range options are available.

     • Resource Value: required. Enter the resource value directly, or use a preconfigured resource mapping from the release rule.

     • For more information about how to add resource values for advanced rules, see Release rule management.

After the card is released, the task status changes to "In releasing" as shown in the following image. You can view, pause, or end a task that is in the "In releasing" state. While a card version has an active "In releasing" task, you cannot create another release task. Wait for the current task to finish, or end it before creating a new one.
