Understand Deployment Results

Overview 

Release creates a deployment history record for each deployment. Each record contains source org, destination org, and deployment status information.

To access the Deployment History page, in the left sidebar of the Release tab, click Deployments.

The page displays pertinent information for each deployment you initiated from Deploy:

  • Deployment Name – Displays the name you provided for the deployment in Deploy confirmation section.
  • Type – Displays the type of deployment: deployment, simulation, versioning.
  • Submitted By – Displays the user who initiated the deployment.
  • Created on – Displays the timestamp corresponding to the start of the deployment.
  • Source – Displays the environment name of the Salesforce org that Release deployed from.
  • Destination – Displays the environment name of the Salesforce org that Release deployed to.
  • Status – Displays the current status of the deployment.
  • Result – Indicates the final status of the deployment.

Once deployment completes, monitor the data deployment progress from the Deployment Results page by selecting the Deployment in the history.

The history table can be filtered by Name, Type, Submitted by, Source, Destination, Status and Result.

Monitor Progress and View Results 

When you click Validate or Deploy from the Deploy page or Simulate or Deploy in seed sandbox, the Deployment History page appears, listing the real-time current status for all metadata and data deployments. Each row of the list includes a selection to drill into the associated Deployment Results details page, which shows the real-time progress of your deployment or simulation, including separate sections for the overall result, individual record results, record batch results, data set results, and for deployments only, metadata results, deployment plan results and deployment plan step results.

To monitor deployment progress and view deployment results:

  1. On the Deployment History page, see the most recent deployment in the top row of the list.
  2. Locate your deployment.
  3. Select the row to monitor deployment progress for both metadata and reference data.

The Deployment Results details page contains a progress bar, deployment details, and the results for the deployment.

Redeploy Data or Metadata 

Redeploy allows you to redeploy a previous deployment using the exact same configuration you previously specified. This action is most useful for data deployments, but it is available for metadata deployments as well.

To redeploy an item that appears in the Deployment History list:

  1. From the Deployment History page, locate the previous deployment you’d like to redeploy.
  2. Select the deployment which will open the Deployment Results page where you can select Redeploy.
  3. Upon selecting Redeploy you will be directed to the Deploy page with the selection criteria pre selected based on the previous deployment run.

Edit and Redeploy Metadata 

Edit and Redeploy allows you to adjust your previous metadata selections from the original deployment attempt. This feature is most useful for correcting your metadata selections if your original deployment fails or you discover your original selections were incomplete or incorrect.

To edit and redeploy a metadata deployment that appears in the Deployment History list:

  1. From the Deployment History page, locate the previous metadata deployment attempt.
  2. Select the deployment which will open the Deployment Results page where you can select Redeploy.
  3. On the Deploy page that appears, the Metadata section will appear.
  4. Adjust your selections.
  5. Click Confirm Deployment.
  6. Click Validate or Deploy.
  7. Monitor the deployment’s progress.

When clicking Deploy, metadata deployment initiates only if your choice for Validation Tests Option completes successfully.
