Scheduled automatic deployments

A scheduled automatic deployment is a Security Cloud Control feature that

allows you to make configuration changes to one or more devices and schedule the deployment at a convenient time
deploys all staged changes saved on Security Cloud Control at the specified date and time, and
requires enabling the scheduling option in the Tenant Settings tab before use.

Deployment requirements and behavior

You can only schedule deployments if you Enable scheduled automatic deployments in the Tenant Settings tab of the Settings page. Once this option is enabled, you can create, edit, or delete scheduled deployments.

If there were changes made directly to the device that have not been read to Security Cloud Control, the scheduled deployment will be skipped until that conflict is resolved. The Jobs page will list any instance where a scheduled deployment fails. If Enable the Option to Schedule Automatic Deployments is turned off, all scheduled deployments are deleted.

You can also view and delete scheduled deployments from the Jobs page.

Caution

If you schedule a new deployment for multiple devices, and some of those devices already have deployments scheduled, the new scheduled deployment overwrites the existing scheduled deployments.

Note	When you create a scheduled deployment, the schedule is created in your local time, not in the time zone of the device. Scheduled deployments do not automatically adjust for daylight savings time.
