Configuring Snapshot Deployment Tasks

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

The deployment is done by running an application process.

If you cancel a Deployment Automation task in Release Control, the corresponding Deployment Automation process is cancelled in Deployment Automation.

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 tasks are described in the following table.
