Using the Deployment Director

After you have assembled and built the package, defined all machines, and verified the deployment groups, use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Director to specify package recipients and schedule the package for deployment.

Throughout the deployment process, you can select to either proceed to the next form or return to the previous form. Also, regardless of where you are in the process, you can cancel it.

When you schedule a package for deployment to a machine rather than a deployment group or location, you can schedule to deploy the package to client workstations, deployment servers, enterprise servers, or a combination. The forms that appear vary depending on your selection. For example, if you indicate that you want to schedule a package for deployment to client workstations and a deployment server, the forms for selecting specific workstations and deployment servers appear. If you schedule a package for deployment only to client workstations, the server selection form does not appear.

When you access the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Director, the Work with Package Deployment form enables you to view deployed package information by either machines, deployment groups, locations, or packages.

Depending on your display selection, the tree displays different information when you expand it. This list describes the information that appears as you expand the tree level by level:

• Machines

  Level One: Client Workstation, Deployment Server, Enterprise Server, and Business Service Application Server headings.

  Level Two: Specific machines under each of these three headings.

  Level Three: Specific packages that are deployed to the machine, if any.

• Deployment Groups

  Level One: Specific groups.

  Level Two: Members of those groups.

  Level Three: Specific packages that are deployed to the group member.

• Locations

  Level One: Specific locations.

  Level Two: Client Workstation, Deployment Server, Enterprise Server, Business Service Application Server, and Remote Locations headings.

  Level Three: Specific machines under the Client Workstation, Deployment Server, and Enterprise Server headings.

  Level Three under Remote Locations only: Defined remote locations.

  Level Four: Specific packages that are deployed to each machine, if any.

  Level Four under Remote Locations only: Client Workstation, Deployment Server, and Enterprise Server headings.

  Level Five under Remote Locations only: Specific machines under the Client Workstation, Deployment Server, and Enterprise Server headings.

  Level Six under Remote Locations only: Specific packages that are deployed to each machine, if any.

• Packages

  Level One: Package names.

  Level Two: Client Workstation, Deployment Server, Enterprise Server, and Business Service Application Server headings.

  Level Three: Package deployment dates and times for each heading.

  Level Four: Specific machines that have deployed that package for that date and time.
