To set up solution deployment:
- Plan Deployment Topology – that is, the target sites and agents that make up the environment where you deploy solutions. 
- Within each deployment target: - Configure the deployment mode for target servers: either Configure Switch Deployment, or Configure Online Deployment 
- Manage Asset Security on Target Sites: adopt a strategy to protect the ATG Content Administration-managed assets on the target from user modification 
 
- Configure the management server: - Configure Deployment Data Sources and Destination Repositories used by the DAF deployment system 
- Define the Deployment Topology for use by the Deployment Server 
- If your environment has several ATG Content Administration clusters, Configure Deployment from Multiple Management Server Clusters to the same site, if desired 
 
- (Optional) On the management server and/or target servers, Configure Deployment Event Listeners that listen for deployment events and take appropriate action. 
- Schedule Deletion of Empty Folders for folders whose assets moved to a renamed folder. 
- (Optional) Cache Checksums for File Assets in order to optimize deployment of file assets.
