Deployment Jobs

A deployment job specifies how you install packages. The deployment job options let you specify the packages to install and the computers on which to install them—by domain, range of addresses, name, directory, target credentials file (*.tc), or query. It also lets you specify non-default options to be passed down to the installation commands used to install the packages, for example, installing agents into non-default folders on the target computers.

The deployment job scans the target computers to determine if deployment is possible. The following are typical responses from the target computers:

• Needs credentials. You need to supply a privileged user name and password with access permissions for deploying a package on the target.
• Not responding. The target computer name is valid but it cannot be detected on the network.
• Already deployed. The correct version of the package is already installed on the target computer.
