Deploy Release Package

The final stage of the release management process happens in the target environment. If you have not already logged out of the source environment and into the target environment, you will need to do that now.

An environment is designated as a source or target in the Web Application Utility. The source environment has Release Management turned On and the Entry option set to True. The target environment has Release Management turned On and the Entry option set to False.

Before a release packaged can be deployed, it must first be approved. If a package is deployed to multiple environments, then it must be approved before each deployment.

Security privileges must be granted to anyone who has the responsibility of approving a release package before it is deployed.

Steps to Approve and Deploy the Release Package

Log out of the source environment and log in to the target environment.

Navigate to Admin Explorer and open the Release Management folder.
Open the Ready to Promote folder and right-click on the release package.
Select Approve Promotion. The package will move to the Promoted folder. If the Approve Promotion option is not available, then security privileges have not been granted for the user.
Open the Promoted folder and right-click the package. Select Deploy Package.

Once the release package has been deployed in the target environment, the release package will move under the Deployed node of the Release Package folder in Admin Explorer. No actions can be performed on the package. The right-click menu will no longer appear. The release package will stay in Ready to Promote in any other environment(s) that share the IVS, until deployment of the package is done in the specific environment(s).

In the Source environment, the release package will remain in the Ready to Promote folder.
