Deployment wizard - Confirmation

The Confirmation page shows all the values configured for this deployment. For Manual and Automatic Deployments, this page shows the name of the package, the version number of the package, the schedule selected for the package, the expiration date selected for the package, and the notification(s) selected for the package. It also includes any Routing Criteria that was defined.

For an Automatic Deployment, this page also shows the Deployment Type, the Priority, and the number of Estimated Assets for the deployment. The number in the Estimated Assets field is a link to a popup window that displays a list of the assets to which the package would be deployed, if they are all online and meet any package dependencies at the time of deployment.

Procedure for this page

1.       Review the information.

2.       If necessary, click the Back button to return to previous pages to make corrections.

3.       Click Deploy to create the deployment. Alternatively, to discard the changes to the deployment and exit the wizard, click Cancel.

When you click Deploy, what happens next depends on the Schedule for the deployment and the Type of deployment:

§         Manual Deployment

Start Immediately -- If the selected assets meet the pre-process dependencies, the package is deployed to the assets the next time their Axeda® Agents contact the Axeda® Platform.

Start at Scheduled Time -- At the scheduled time for the deployment, the Platform checks the selected assets to see if they meet the pre-process dependencies, and if so, deploys the package to the selected assets, using the specified interval between deployments to the assets.

§         Automatic Deployment

Start Immediately -- The Platform starts the evaluation task that checks which assets are currently online and meet the pre-process dependencies. Once the evaluation task has determined the assets for the deployment, the deployment task starts the deployment.

Start at Scheduled Time -- At the scheduled time, the Platform checks the priorities of automatic deployments. Based on the priorities, the evaluation task checks which assets are currently online and meet the pre-process dependencies for the highest priority package deployment. The deployment task then deploys the package to the assets selected by the evaluation task. If additional deployments with lower priorities are scheduled for the same time, the system runs the evaluation and deployment tasks for those package deployments, based on the priorities.
