View Package Details
Packages are a list of logical and physical packages defined for the deployment. Items are software component parts that are to be deployed to all the deployment targets defined in the sub-environment specified in the containing deployment package. This dialog box displays detailed information about a request and the packages it contains.
See to field definitions and column definitions for information about the fields and columns in this view.
Deployment Phases
A deployment goes through the following phases:
- Staging - If deployment staging has been defined, then immediately after the Request is Confirmed, the parts will be copied to the target warehouse.
- Implementation - Once the Implementation Date/Time is reached for each Package, the components are implemented according to the process as defined in the Deploy Reference data. If no Activation process has been defined, then after all Packages are successfully implemented the Request status will be set to “Complete”.
- Activation - If an Activation process has been defined, then once the Activation Date/Time is reached for each Package, the components are activated according to the process as defined in the Deploy Reference data. Once all Packages are successfully activated the Request status will be set to “Complete”.
Logical Package Statuses
This status is derived from the statuses of all the physical packages and can have the following values:
- blank - No processes have yet been identified
- Staged - All deployable parts are staged onto their respective Target systems
- Implemented - This Package undergoes Activation, and the Implementation processes are complete.
- Complete - All Deploy processes are complete (i.e. if both Implementation and Activation are defined then both are completed successfully. If only Implementation is required then this has completed successfully).
- Failed - One or more Physical Packages has failed.
Physical Package Statuses
The physical package status is constructed of two parts:
XX:Status
where XX is a two-character representation of the process that the status relates to. Status process and their statuses are as follows:
Process | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
ST Staging | Wait Time | This status is not commonly seen for staging as there is no specific date/time constraint for the staging process. A physical package can have this status for 30 seconds or less due to the internal deploy scheduler |
Ready | All conditions have been met for the staging process to begin. This status could indicate that the target CT task is not running. | |
Dispatched | CT task has been woken up to start staging | |
Executing | CT task is performing the staging process | |
Complete | Staging is complete | |
Failed | Staging has failed | |
Terminated | Indicates that the overall request was terminated for packages that were not complete or failed when the terminate was issued. | |
IM Implementing and AC Activating | Wait Time | Implementation is waiting on the implementation time or activation is waiting on activate time. |
Ready | All conditions have been met for the implement or activate process to begin. This status could indicate that the target CT task is not running. | |
Dispatched | CT task has been woken up to start the process | |
Held | Process has been started in a HELD status – option not currently supported. | |
Wait External | An external process has been defined and ISPW is waiting for it to start. | |
Executing | Implementation/activation is executing | |
Complete | Implementation/activation process is complete | |
Failed | Implementation/activation process has failed. | |
Terminated | Indicates that the overall request was terminated for packages that were not complete or failed when the terminate was issued. |
