Distributing Software Through Package Deployment

Use this method when you want to distribute software immediately after you define a deployment schedule. If you select this option, the software is distributed immediately, regardless of the timing parameters that you specify in the scheduling fields.

Access the Work with Package Deployment form.

1. Select the Machines option, and then click Find.

2. Select the deployment server to which you want to deploy.

   If you have scheduled to deploy packages to more than one deployment server, you can select the Deployment Server folder to deploy to all applicable servers rather than deploying to each individual server.

3. Select the deployment server name to deploy all packages that are listed under the server name.

   Alternatively, select only the package that you want to deploy.

4. From the Row menu, select Deploy.

   This option launches Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Multi Tier Deployment batch program (R98825C), which enables you to deploy to deployment servers.

   You can also use this option to launch a batch application that deploys enterprise server packages. Therefore, if you select an enterprise server name or the Enterprise Server folder on the Work With Package Deployment form, Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server Deployment batch program (R98825D)—not the Multi Tier Deployment batch program—launches. When you select a workstation, the Deploy option is not available.
