Deploying packages
Deployment applies the configuration records that are in a package to a target environment.
Important: Before you deploy a package, ensure that you
have a backup of your database. Run the Integrity Checker utility
to monitor the integrity of your database. Preview a deployment to
identify potential data validation errors before you deploy the package.
The migration activities that precede deployment occur in a source environment, whereas you preview and deploy a package in a target environment. The deployment steps depend on the type of content in the package.
You can deploy only one package at a time. The time that it takes to deploy a package depends on the size of the package and the type of processing applied by the package.
