Deployment Jobs

A Deployment Job executes the type of deployment specified by one or more deployment definitions against one or more target servers. Deployment jobs consist of “blocks” of instructions, with each block configuring the deployment of one deployment definition to any number of users on one destination server. That means that you can have one Deployment Job deploy multiple applications to as many users as necessary, on multiple environments. Deployment jobs require at least one block.

Before you begin

• Verify that the desired deployment definition has been created. For more information, see Deployment Definitions.
• If you intend to give access to an application to all users from one organization, in the same environment, consider making the application public instead of deploying it to all users. This prevents the application from being replicated into copies of the original.

Create a deployment job

1. In Qrvey Admin, click the Content Deployment icon in the left-side menu and display the Deployment Jobs tab.
2. Click Create Job. The Deployment Job Description page displays.
3. Enter a name and description in the fields provided.
4. Click in the empty block. The block updates to display new fields related to the block.
5. For each block that you wish to add, perform the following:
   • Click the Select Definition drop-down and select a deployment definition
   • Click the Server drop-down and select the server to which to deploy.
   • Click the Users drop-down and select the users to receive the application. The page updates to display details of what is included in the deployment definition.
6. To view additional details, click the Details link.
7. Configure content tokens. See "Using content tokens" in Deployment Definition.
8. Configure parameter tokens. See "Using parameter tokens" in Deployment Definition.
9. To add a new block, click Add Block and repeat the process described above.

   Note: To deploy one application to several destination servers, create a block for each server.

10. To review the details of a section of the deployment definition, click its Details link.

Run a deployment job

1. In Qrvey Admin, click the Content Deployment icon in the left-side menu and display the Deployment Jobs tab.
