NOTE The default CM deployment model is Dimensions Deployment, for details see Managing Dimensions Deployment.
Serena Deployment Automation (SDA) automates software deployment, the process of moving software through pre-production stages to final production. Typically, each stage represents a step of higher criticality, such as testing to production.
Software deployment complexity increases with more releases to deploy, more deployment targets, more types of deployment targets, shortened deployment cycles, and changes in technology. Deployment Automation helps you meet the deployment challenge by providing tools that improve deployment speeds while simultaneously improving their reliability.
For full details about configuring and using SDA see the Serena Documentation Centre.
