Flexible Specification of Deployment Targets

To provide flexibility when specifying deployment targets, a target credentials file has been introduced. With the target credentials file, an administrator can create and maintain lists of individual target systems or groups of target systems along with their connection credentials.

The target credentials file allows users to plan their deployments "offline" before initiating the actual deployment jobs. You can specify deployment to different "areas" of a network by creating families of credential files, for example, files relating to different company departments.

You can use the target credentials file with both the dmsweep command (using the /targetcred option) and the Infrastructure Deployment wizard.
