Selective deployment

Selective deployment is a deployment of selected InsuranceSuite apps in both, single-server and clustered-server planets.

When you deploy the selected InsuranceSuite apps, you can make code changes without disrupting the operation of the rest of the apps.

You can select only successful deployments. The Latest activity must say Deployed, and all the deployed apps must be up and running.

Note:

During the selective deployment, the system runs a full upgrade of the InsuranceSuite application.
For details, see the Administration guide for your InsuranceSuite application.

The preparation steps depend on which version of builds you want to use and to what kind of planet you want to deploy the builds:
