Deployment

Overview

A Deployment is an AnalyticsCreator object that defines a deployable or runnable set of generated package work.

It provides the configuration used to prepare and execute selected packages outside the design editor.

Use deployments to select package content for generation or execution and to maintain the deployment definition that can be edited or run later.

The exact generation and run settings depend on the deployment target and the packages included in the deployment.

Attributes define the configuration, behavior, and relationships of the deployment entity.
