Deploying a Policy

When you deploy a policy successfully, the policy changes it status from the Draft state to the Deployed state. The Distribution Engine passes the policy to the agents in their respective ActiveMatrix nodes. When you deploy a policy for the first time, the policy will be in an Activated state.

1. Click Governance > Governance Controls.
   A list of policies are displayed.
2. Select a policy and click .
   The Deployment Progress (Object Group Members) field shows the status of the policy being deployed. While the policy is being deployed, the Deployment Progress (Object Group Members) field helps you track the progress by showing the number of Successful, Failed, In progress, and Total object group members being affected by the policy. The following image shows the progress of a policy being deployed:

   In the table shown in the bottom-right corner of the window, you can sort on the deployment progress by clicking the Status. In this case, the status can be Deploying or Deployed.

   Note: The Deployment Progress (Object Group Members) field is displayed when you click any of the following:

   • Deploy
   • Undeploy
   • Activate
   • Deactivate

   You can view Object Group details in a new window by clicking Open in New Window button as shown in the following image:

   

   

   CLI Progess Indicator

   To track the progress of the deployment on CLI, use SYSTEM_PROPERTY_GC_DEPLOY_TIMER_PERIOD. By default, SYSTEM_PROPERTY_GC_DEPLOY_TIMER_PERIOD tracks the progress of the deployment in every 3 seconds. The SYSTEM_PROPERTY_GC_DEPLOY_TIMEOUT property is used to set the timeout period for the deployment. By default, it is 600 seconds. If the policy takes longer than 600 seconds to deploy, it is not deployed. To set the timeout period on Windows, use the following ANT command:

   set ANT_OPTS=-Damx.governance.gc.deploy.timeout=60000
