Adding a Deployment Schedule for a Group of CAL Packages

  1. Select the Enterprise, click Setup, and then click CAL Packages.
  2. Expand the Simphony or Custom subgroups, and then highlight a node without a corresponding CAL package.
  3. Click the Deployment Schedules tab.
  4. Click Add Deployment.
  5. From the Choose CAL Package For Deployment drop-down list, select the package to deploy.

    The list of available CAL packages in the dialog changes depending on the node highlighted within the tree. For example, if you highlight the Simphony node, the list of packages contains all Simphony CAL packages. If you select the Service Host node, the list contains only the Service Host packages.

  6. From the Deployment Type drop-down list, select the type of deployment:
    • 1 - Property/Enterprise

    • 2 - Specific Service Host

  7. Click the ellipsis point (...) button.
  8. From the Select Properties or Select Service Host dialog (depending on your selection in Step 6), select one or more workstations or service hosts where the package downloads, and then click OK.
    • Filter lengthy lists by property number or name, or by workstation number or name.

    • If you selected 1 - Property/Enterprise in Step 6, select Show already configured properties to prevent yourself from configuring duplicate deployment schedule records.

    • If you selected 2 - Specific Service Host in Step 6, press and hold the Ctrl key while performing a left mouse click to select multiple service hosts. You can click the Select All or Clear All links to affect all service hosts in the list.

    • You can select multiple service hosts or specific workstations.

  9. In the Action To Take field, select one of the following options:
    • To allow the deployment to proceed, select 0 - Install.

    • To prevent a package from being downloaded, select 1 - Skip.

  10. (Optional) In the Effective From field, select the start date when the CAL packages automatically begin installing, and select the start time (in 24-hour format).

    You can use this field to schedule Simphony upgrades.

    Note:

    The date and time selected in Effective From and Effective To fields are determined by the application server’s time zone, not by the property or workstation time zone.
  11. (Optional) In the Effective To field, select the date when the CAL packages automatically stop installing, and select the stop time (in 24-hour format).

    To keep the installations perpetual, do not set an Effective To time.

  12. Click Save.
