Audit Trail

Jobs and tasks are the two fundamental concepts of the deployment system. A deployment job specifies one or more packages to be available on one or more target systems. A deployment task represents each individual deployment of a software package on a target system. Deployment job reporting allows you to query the status of deployment jobs.

You can create, control, and can inquire the state of deployment jobs. After the job is started, its individual deployment tasks are delegated to available distribution servers which perform the actual deployment. You can track the progress of the job as it occurs, to verify that the deployment is going well and to identify and address any problems.

Remote deployment is able to provide the following information:

• Which deployment jobs are currently:
  • Inactive (not yet started)
  • Active
  • Completed, which were:
    • Successful
    • Partially successful
    • Unsuccessful
• Which deployment jobs are:
  • Associated with a specific target machine
  • Associated with a specific package/package group
• What packages have been deployed to a specific target machine
• Which user created/started deployment of a specific package
• Which machines are targeted in a specific deployment job
• Which machines are targeted by active deployment jobs

Note: Remote Deployment supports deploying software to UNIX/Linux systems with the /tmp file system mounted with the noexec flag.
