Deploy the Program
Start the Deployment Process
The deployment process is initiated from the Installation wizard. After deployments are created, users can install the program on their workstations. You make choices during the deployment process to create various client deployment images and deployment types that meet user requirements and company needs.
The deployment process lets you do any of the following:
- Create a deployment.
- Apply a patch to a deployment.
- Add customized files to a deployment.
- Change search paths and file locations.
- Allow users access to online resources.
NoteBecause the deployment
process provides you with numerous options for creating and customizing
your deployments, there are many deployment pages you need to complete
and choices you must make. You should set aside ample time to complete
the deployment process in one sitting.
