By default, a deployment process will run as soon as RCT Patching detects a new application version in the Application Catalog. By enabling scheduling, you can choose when deployments happen.
View, create or edit a deployment schedule on the Environment Settings page by going to the Deployment Processes > Advanced tab.
NOTE: A new deployment process will run once before it begins follow the schedule.
To set a deployment schedule:
1. On the Environment Settings page, click the Deployment Processes and Advanced tabs.
2. In the Scheduling section, toggle the Enable Scheduling option to 'Yes'.
3. Select a Schedule Type from the drop-down menu.
NOTE: Currently, 'Patch Tuesday' is the only available option. Microsoft's security update release occurs on the second Tuesday of each month. Future Recast releases will add more scheduling types.
4. Choose a deployment Time in UTC.
NOTE: The precise time of a scheduled deployment is tied to the update check interval. Patching checks for new application versions every 30 minutes by default, meaning that the scheduled deployment will run 0 to 30 minutes after the check.
5. Add a Delay in Days, if desired.
TIP: You can check whether a deployment process follows a schedule on the Deployment Processes page by hovering over its Status to reveal a tooltip.
