A project’s workflow determines that deployment schedules are managed in one of two ways:
The workflow is configured to schedule project deployment immediately. Doing so bypasses the need for a deployment administrator or the RecurringDeploymentService to schedule deployments.
A workflow element flags a project as approved for deployment. When this stage in the workflow occurs, the project appears in the Admin Console in the Business Control Center. A deployment administrator can manually schedule deployment for the project, or set up the RecurringDeploymentService to schedule approved projects for automatic deployment in batches at a predetermined time—for example, every night at 3 AM.
A deployment that is scheduled by the workflow for immediate deployment only pertains to one project at a time. Deploying from the RecurringDeploymentService or the Admin Console allows simultaneous deployment of multiple projects.
For details on scheduling a deployment manually in the Admin Console, see Deploying from the Admin Console. For information about scheduling a deployment automatically, see Configuring the RecurringDeploymentService.
