Deployment Process Overview

Deployment process overview

Deployment processes are the key feature of CSM. From deployment process you will configure the settings related to application(s) selected to the deployment process, and also configure deployment target collections and their deployment schedule.

Deployment processes can be configured from MECM Integration tab. Deployment processes are located on left pane, under MECM Settings. 

From MECM Settings you can configure settings regarding MECM integration and default deployment process. From default settings you can configure a deployment process template that will be a base for upcoming deployment processes. Changing the default settings won't affect existing deployment processes.
