The Deployments tab lets you select deployments you want to create, review, update, or remove. You also create configurations from this tab.
The tab includes the following sections in the left pane:
Lets you search for a deployment by name.
Lets you perform the following actions related to setting up and creating deployments:
Opens the New Deployment wizard, which helps you create a deployment.
Lets you perform actions related to maintaining the deployments already created, including configuration. This section contains the following links that organize the deployments by their status:
Displays all deployments that are under construction.
Displays all deployments that have had a snapshot taken, but are not deployed.
Displays all deployments that have been deployed.
Displays all deployments that are deployed and ready for configuration.
You can expand each of these links to display the deployments associated with each status. You can then expand each deployment to display the products associated with each deployment. At each step, there are actions that you can perform by right-clicking.
You can perform the following actions by right-clicking the Deployment links:
Lists what has been assigned to this deployment including name, products, systems, transport, target libraries, SMP/E Environments, and snapshot information.
This action displays as Preview if you have not yet deployed this deployment, and as Summary if you have.
A snapshot is a copy of the set of target libraries that CA CSM makes using the IBM utility GIMZIP. CA CSM uses GIMZIP to create a compressed archive of these libraries, including a list of applied maintenance. The SMP/E environment is locked during this archive creation process to verify the integrity of the archived data.
This action is available only if you have not already taken a snapshot of the deployment.
The transmit functionality lets you copy a product onto systems across the enterprise through FTP, in preparation for a subsequent deployment. After you perform this action, the deployment remains undeployed until you deploy it.
This action is available only if you have not already transmitted the deployment.
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.
This action is available only if you have not already deployed the deployment.
Clones a deployment. For example, if maintenance has been applied to the SMP/E environment, you can use this action to clone or redeploy.
Selecting this action displays the Clone dialog.
Deletes the selected deployment.
You can perform the following actions by right-clicking the Product links within each deployment:
Removes the product from this deployment.
This action applies only to deployments that are under construction.
Opens the Configuration wizard, where you can define settings for configuring this product.
This action applies only to configurable deployments.
The tab includes the following sections in the right pane:
Displays information about whatever currently appears and what to do next.
Displays a list of deployments with more details than the left pane. The label for this section changes if you select a status link in the left pane.
The Actions column contains drop-down menus that let you perform the same Actions at Deployment Level previously described in this topic.
