After you create a package, you can distribute it to one or more target environments.
Define the targets to which you will distribute the package.
You can prevent the distribution and deployment of packages that come from restricted sources by setting inbound restrictions in the target environment.
Packages are distributed one at a time. If you select multiple packages for distribution, the packages are distributed in sequence. If an error prevents the application from distributing a package to a target, the application can continue to distribute packages to other targets.
In a source environment, when you create a package, the Migration Manager application stores the data that makes up the package in the staging table. When you distribute the package, the staging table is accessed and the records extracted and copied into the physical package file. The staging table is also used in a target environment to start the deployment of a package. If you distribute a package as a file, the contents of the file are extracted and placed as records into the staging table. The deployment of the package applies the data in these records into the target database.
After you distribute a file type package to a target environment, a copy of the package is retained on the application server in the source environment. You can optionally download the copy to a client computer so that you can move it into source control or move it to other environments.
Preview and deploy the package in the target environment.
