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 on a Mediator, it remains deployed there. However, administrators does not be able to undeploy or redeploy the virtual service from CentraSite Control until its deployment status is enabled.

To enable the deployment status of a virtual service, the following conditions must be satisfied:

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.
