Change Deployment Status
Enables or disables the deployment status of a virtual service. You use this action to specify whether the given virtual service is eligible or ineligible for deployment.
When you enable the deployment status for a virtual service, you enable the controls on the
Deployment profile. These controls enable authorized users to deploy, undeploy, or redeploy the virtual service.
Additionally, enabling the deployment status of a virtual service makes the virtual service eligible for automatic re-deployment when changes occur to its run-time policies.
When you disable the deployment status for a virtual service, you disable the controls on the virtual service's
Deployment profile (thus, preventing users from deploying, undeploying, or redeploying the virtual service).
When the deployment status for a virtual service is in the disabled state, the virtual service is not eligible for automatic re-deployment when changes occur to its run-time policies.
Note:
Disabling the deployment status of a virtual service does not undeploy the virtual service if it is already deployed. If the virtual service is currently deployed, it remains deployed there. However, administrators does not be able to undeploy or redeploy the virtual service until its deployment status is enabled.
To enable the deployment status of a virtual service, the following conditions must be satisfied:
There must be at least one target defined in the registry.
The Entry Protocol and Routing steps must be configured.
Typically, you use this action in combination with the
Processing Steps Status action, which enables and disables the
Processing Steps profile for a virtual service. For example, when you enable the
Deployment profile, you generally disable the
Processing Steps profile and vice versa.
