Scheduling Deployment Tasks

You can schedule deployment tasks or create a partial schedule for task templates. If Schedule Options is set to None, the deployment task begins execution as soon as the prerequisites are completed.

Note:

To be allowed to set the schedule on an deployment task, you must be able to access the Schedule Items transition in a release package or deployable release train. By default, access to this transition is restricted to the following roles:

  • Release Control Administrator
  • Release Manager
  • Release Engineer

Setting the schedule is also restricted based on a rule which limits it to particular states. You can modify the rule in SBM Composer to further restrict access for scheduling items.

To schedule a deployment task:

  1. Create or edit a deployment task or task template.
  2. Select one of the following in Schedule Options, using the tooltips for more information on the options.
    • (None)
    • Specific Time (with an optional Grace Period)
    • Opportunity Window
    • Time Window
    • Delay
    • Hold Until Released
      Note: Once put on hold, the task shows ON_HOLD status regardless of whether prerequisites are done.
