To define a filter, select Use Regular Expressions option, and specify the filter in the Version Filter field. |
Start Automatically | Check this option to start the scheduled deployment
automatically. If you select this option, you can also configure these
two options: Manual Task Notification Select this option to email an owner of a manual task when a task requires user input. This option notifies the assigned user or all users in a role for a task that is part of the first segment of the scheduled deployment or if an approval is stopping the scheduled deployment from starting. Run for new versions only Select this option to deploy only new versions. If you select this option at deployment time and the latest version selected for deployment has already been deployed, the scheduled deployment is rescheduled for the next time according to the recurring rule. |
When you click Save, the release tool schedules the first repeating deployment at the time that you specified. You can see that deployment in the calendar view. After the deployment is scheduled, you can go to the scheduled deployment detail view and modify it. For example, you can modify options such as start automatically and select a different version, pattern, or version filter.
