Executing a Deployment Plan
When you execute a plan, Deployment Manager executes all of the operations defined on the plan Operations tab in sequence. Prior to executing a plan, you might want to preview the changes that have occurred on the source site (see Viewing Source Site Updates Since the Last Plan Execution). After executing the plan, you can check the Execution Log tab for details about the execution.
Requirements
Executing a deployment plan requires that both the source and target TDV instances are online. See Editing Site Properties to change a site to online mode and test the connection.
If you are using file-based caches, you must create the folder and cache files on the target source prior to executing the deployment plan. See Caching and Deployment Manager for more information about caches and Deployment Manager.
