During the 'Deployment Preview' step, Tulip generates a deployment plan that outlines the API calls to be made, their execution order, and which selected changes can or cannot be deployed due to constraints. Once the plan is prepared, you’ll have the opportunity to review it.

Any changes that can't be deployed are automatically flagged with a red color and a value of "No" under the "Will Deploy" column. The problems which prevent the change from being deployed will appear under the "Issues" column:

To get an overview of all the issues which prevent elements from being deployed, or other issues that may affect your deployment, go to the "Tulip validations" tab. There, you'll find a grouped list of errors, with the list of affected elements under each one:

Some issues can be quickly resolved using an automated resolver. For example, Missing Dependencies can be brought into the deployment by clicking the "Add missing dependencies" button.

To resolve other issues, first review the issue details by clicking the affected element.

Then, you can usually do one of the following

  1. Remove the element from the deployment

    1. For compare & deploy, go back to the element selection screen, unselect the problematic configuration, then click "Preview Deployment" to preview the updated deployment

  2. Editing the element

    1. Select the affected element, then click on the pencil icon to edit it and fix the identified issue. The edit will apply to the target application connection as part of the deployment.

  3. Fix the element in the security application itself

    1. After fixing it, fetch the source application connection, then re-create the preview by going back to selection and clicking "preview deployment", or start a new deployment

  4. Change the adapter configuration

    1. In case the fix requires setting some new application connection configuration, make the necessary steps, then re-create the preview by going back to selection and clicking "preview deployment", or start a new deployment

  5. Suppress the warning

    1. Some issues can be suppressed by changing the application connection configuration, as detailed here: https://help.tulipsecurity.com/en/articles/11860417-suppressing-deployment-preview-issues . After changing the application connection configuration, re-create the deployment preview as explained above.
