Configuring Snapshot Deployment Tasks

After a Snapshot Actions configuration has been added or updated as needed, you can configure deployment tasks to deploy Deployment Automation snapshots.

The deployment is done by running an application process.

Note: Although the process may execute any kind of operation, such as configuration only, the typical purpose of the processes is deployment.

The fields that are displayed when configuring the deployment tasks to deploy snapshots from the Task Collection Widget are described in the following table.

Field Description Example Values
Title Title of the deployment task Deploy Qlarius QSocial App
Description Description of the task Task to deploy snapshots for the QSocial Application

Run Application Process

Application The name of the DA application for which the application process will be executed QSocial
Application Process The name of the process to run Deploy QSocial App
Snapshot Click the link icon beside the field to select the snapshot that you want to associate with the task.

Use available items: Select from snapshots that have already been added.
