Initiate automated deployment
Automated deployment is the process through which a study design is moved directly from the Central Designer application to the InForm environment.
Note: Automated deployment is supported only in release 6.1 and later of the InForm application.
The deployment request is the basis of the automated deployment process. Automated deployment involves four steps:
- The Central Designer application transfers the deployment package to the InForm server and installs the package according to the schedule configured in the deployment request. Set up the InForm environment.
- Create a deployment instance to define the InForm servers to which to deploy the study.
- Create a deployment request for a deployment package.
- If the deployment requires it, obtain approval.
Central Designer transfers the deployment package to the InForm server and installs the package according to the schedule configured in the deployment request.
