How to Deploy

In this window you can schedule the interval and time at which the patch job is executed. For this you have several options.

1. Under the Deployment Schedule you must define the execution interval, for which you have the following choices:
   • Monthly: This option allows you to execute the patch job on "the first, second, third, fourth, last Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday of the month". For this you must select the day of the week ( S = Sunday, M = Monday, etc.) on which it is to be executed and you must define on which of the 4 available times this day occurs to execute, for example, on the first, second, third or fourth of the month.

   • Weekly: This option allows you to execute the patch job every week for a given set of days. Selecting this option will make the day's selection panel available to give you the opportunity to specify which day(s) of the week the patch job will be executed. For this you must select the day of the week ( S = Sunday, M = Monday, etc.)

   • Daily: With this option the patch job will be executed daily and no further definitions are required in this section.
2. Under the Time Period section you must define the time of execution:
   • You can either select to execute whenever the downloaded patches become available, in which case you must select the Deploy anytime according to the above schedule radio button.
   • Or you can select to execute at very specific times or time-frames, in which case you must select the Deploy only during this time radio button and specify the following:
     • In the first drop-down list you must define the transfer schedule for the patches to the concerned devices:
       • they can be transferred at the beginning of the specified start time to limit the network load to the defined patch times.
       • they can be transferred to the devices as soon as they are available to be ready for immediate installation when the start time arrives.

     • Select the Start: and End: time during which the patches of the patch job are to be installed. If the patch execution is to be finished in any case check the No End Time. Run Till Completed. box instead of defining one.

       Warning

       Note:

       Be aware that any individual patch for which the installation was started will be finished even if the End: Time has arrived.
