Remote Deployment

CA Server Automation provides a comprehensive solution for remotely deploying SystemEDGE and other agents to all managed systems. You can create deployment templates based on provided packages that contain customized installation parameters and simultaneously deploy these templates to numerous managed systems. This automated deployment solution provides one location from which to deploy and configure the agents throughout your enterprise.

Remote deployment provides the following features:

Deployment configuration

Allows creation, editing, and deletion of configurations which define how software packages are installed on target systems. These are referred to as Package Wrappers.

Deployment job management

Allows creation, start, and cancelation of deployment jobs, allowing the concurrent deployment of packages to multiple targets using multiple distribution servers.

Deployment job reporting

Provides the ability to query the status of deployment jobs.

Deployment events

Provide a source of deployment-related events that tracks the state of the managed nodes.
