Deploying Products › Deploy a Product

Deploy a Product

After you have completed all of your changes for the deployment, you can deploy the product. Deploying the product automatically takes a snapshot of the deployment and transmits the deployment.

Note: Verify that the deployment has at least one product, system, and methodology defined.

While you are working with a particular deployment, the deployment is locked and other CA CSM users cannot perform any action against it. The lock is released when the task is finished.

If you select a deployment that is being used in CA CSM by another user, a notification message appears. You are prevented from performing any actions on the deployment. Click OK to close the notification message and select another deployment.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Deployments tab, and on the right, in the Deployments panel click the Under Construction link.

   The Deployment Under Construction page appears.

2. Click the Deployment Name link for the deployment you want to deploy.

   Details about this deployment window appear.

3. Click the Actions drop-down list and select Deploy The deploy functionality combines the snapshot, transmit, and deploy actions into one action, letting you copy your CA CSM product onto systems across your enterprise. For example, you can send one or many products to one or many systems by copying it to a shared DASD or through FTP..

   The product is deployed across your enterprise.

   Note: Performing this action automatically takes a snapshot of the deployment and transmits the deployment. If you do not have remote credentials for the systems where you want to deploy the product, or you do not have default remote credentials defined on the User Settings, Remote Credentials page, the Remote Credentials Properties dialog appears. Define remote credentials for the systems, and click OK to apply your changes and close the dialog.
