The DeploymentServer requires information about the production and staging targets where assets are to be deployed. In order to provide this information you define the deployment topology—that is, deployment targets and their individual servers where agents are installed. Before you do so, however, knowledge of the topology is required for several earlier steps in the deployment configuration process. For this reason, you should plan the deployment topology as the first step towards deployment setup.
For details, refer to the Plan Deployment Topology section of the Setting Up Deployment chapter in the ATG Content Administration Programming Guide.
