Step 1 Click the Deployment Manager button in the Main toolbar.

The Deployment Manager window appears. Click the Deployment Jobs tab if it is not active.

Step 2 Select the job to deploy.

Step 3 Click Deploy.

The Deploy Job dialog box opens.

Step 4 In the Deploy Job dialog box, make these selections:

•Options—How you want to run the job. Select Schedule to run the job at some point in the future.

Select Deploy Now to run the job immediately. If you schedule the job for a future time, the changes

deployed in the job are based on the changes that existed when the job was created, not when the

job is run.

If you select Schedule, date and time fields appear.

–

Click the calendar icon to pick the day on which to run the job.

–

In the Time field, enter the time to start the job in 24-hour clock format. The time must be in

time zone of the Security Manager server, which is not necessarily the same as your time zone.

The time must be at least 5 minutes in the future.

•Comments—(Optional) An explanation of why you are deploying the job.

•Require Deployment Status Notifications, Job Completion Recipients— Whether Security

Manager should send an e-mail when the job status changes.

If you elect to send status notifications, enter the recipient’s e-mail address. The field initially

contains the e-mail address associated with the user account you used to log in. You can enter

multiple addresses by separating them with commas.

Step 5 Click OK.

You are returned to the Deployment Manager window. The job status changes to Deploying. When the

deployment is complete, the job status changes to Deployed.

Discarding Deployment Jobs

In Workflow mode, you can discard a job when it is in any state except Deployed, Deployment Failed,

or Aborted. The job state is shown as discarded until the job is purged from the system, either

automatically as set on the Workflow Management page or manually.
