If you do not use branches for application development, but you use ruleset-based development instead, you configure the continuous delivery pipeline in Deployment Manager.

The workflow of tasks in this pipeline is as follows:

1. Developers update rules and check them in directly to the application rulesets on the development system.
2. The product rule that contains the application rules to be packaged and moved through the systems in the pipeline is on the development system.
3. Continuous delivery is started manually at a defined schedule by using Deployment Manager.

The following figure describes the workflow of a pipeline in an environment without branches.
