Overview

Deployment Plans are reusable sets of instructions that group and sequence deployment of your Data Sets. Use deployment plans to define step-by-step data set deployment sequences that allow steps to deploy sequentially. This approach offers fine-grained control of deployment order and minimum overall execution time. As Release executes the plan, the deployment results update live and you also receive an email when the entire deployment completes.

A deployment plan consists of:

• A deployment plan name.
• An optional description.
• An optional folder.
• One or more deployment plan steps (which deploy sequentially), each consisting of:
  • A step name.
  • An optional deployment order number.
  • One or more deployment plan items (which deploy concurrently within the deployment plan step), each consisting of:
    • The deployment order number within the step.
    • The name of a data set to deploy.
• Optional event controls.
• Optional invocations.
