Adding a Deployment Schedule for the Current CAL Package

You can schedule Client Application Loader (CAL) packages to automatically deploy at preset times.

  1. In the CAL Packages module, expand the Simphony or Custom subgroups, and highlight the CAL package you want to deploy.
  2. Click the Deployment Schedules tab.
  3. Click Add Deployment to create a new row in the deployments grid.
  4. In the CAL Package field, select the version number.
  5. In the Deployment Type drop-down list, select the type of deployment:
    • 1 - Property/Enterprise – Click the ellipsis button and select one or more properties where the package will download.

    • 2 - Specific Service Host – Click the ellipsis button and select one or more service hosts or workstations where the package will download.

  6. In the Action To Take field, select one of the following options:
    • If you want the deployment to proceed, select Install.

    • If you want to prevent a package from being downloaded select Skip.

    You can configure multiple deployment schedules for the same CAL package. Simphony uses the most granular deployment when given multiple deployment schedules. For example, if you configure a deployment schedule for a workstation and for the property, Simphony uses the workstation deployment. If you configure a CAL package deployment for a property with Install and a deployment for a workstation with Skip, the CAL package is not installed on the workstation.

  7. (Optional) In the Effective From field, select the start date when the package becomes active. You can use this field to schedule Simphony upgrades.
  8. (Optional) In the Effective To field, select the end date when the package becomes inactive.
