View source for Mass Deployment of Packages to Tenants

== About Mass Deployment ==

This option gives the Service Provider the ability to [[Package]] applications for distribution to multiple tenants. This feature is provided to extend the functionality of [[Package]] upgrades in a multi-tenant environment.

If an item contained in the package being deployed already exists in the tenant's system/platform, then deployment will result in an upgrade/update, otherwise, package deployment will result in a brand new installment of the item. Learn more: [[Overwrite Previous Package]]

==Deploy a Package==

To Deploy a Package:
#Click '''[[File:GearIcon.png]] > Administration > Account Management > Packages'''
#Click the desired [[Package]]<br>(That package must already have been published.)
#Click the [Deploy] button
#Select deployment type:  'All Tenants' OR 'Selective Tenants'. ('All Tenants' is checked by default)
#Optionally, choose to send an upgrade notification email to each tenant; When checked, an email message is sent to the tenant's designated copy support email address (as configured in Company Information) upon the deployment completion (if deployment is successful); If the tenant has no designated email address, no message is sent; This option is disabled by default
#Select Schedule Time: 'Immediate' OR 'Schedule Date'. ('Immediate' is checked by default)
#* Upon the completion of deployment, an email is sent to the user who submitted the request. The email contains the deployment status summary (number of tenants processed and number of successful/failed deployments)
#Click the [Deploy] button to submit the request

To check the status of a Deployment:
