Configuring Deployment Rules

Configuring Deployment Rules

You can set any number of parameters that will affect the deployment outcome of a package.

For example, your package deployment could be based on a specific operating system version, on a particular hardware platform, or some other combination. In this wizard, you will find both a Base and Advanced rule editor. The Advanced view is a free-form editor. The image below illustrates the Deployment Rules screen accessible when adding or editing an app:

Base Deployment Rules

Base deployment rules are comprised of predefined tests and resulting actions. When possible, the results are pre-built into the example tests. For example, when basing a package deployment on a hardware platform, all existing known platforms are populated into the resulting test, drastically reducing your rule creation time and limiting possible errors.

Click New rule to add a rule to the package.
Note: The rule builder includes further information, specific to each test.

To create a new rule, you select a rule template, select the condition type, and then customize the rule. Customizing the rule includes modifying the description. When you finish configuring settings, you add the rule to the package.

You can add as many rules as you want. The package is deployed when all of the rules match.

Advanced Deployment Rules

If you click on the Advanced tab, the Advanced Rule Editor appears.

In this mode, you can specify what relationship is set between the rules. The operators AND, OR, and NOT are available.
