After a package has been created, you must configure a deployment job to run it.

To configure a deployment job

  1. Click Jobs in the Job Management section of the Navigation Area. The Manage Jobs work pane appears.

  2. Select Deployment Jobs and click Create. The Deployment Job work pane appears.

  3. Name the deployment job in the Job Name field.

    Note

    Job names may contain alphanumeric characters ONLY.

  4. Select the package to be deployed in the Select Package field. Either select an existing package from the list or upload and configure a new package using the Add Package button.

  5. Schedule the installation, if desired. If you do not schedule the installation (by selecting Do Not Schedule Deployment), you must manually start the deployment job after you complete the configuration.

  6. Enter the e-mail address of someone who should receive the success or failure notification following the deployment.

  7. Click Next. The Assign Job work pane appears.

  8. Assign the job by selecting the target servers or server groups.

If you have not scheduled the job, you can run it by selecting it and clicking Run Now.
