Deploy Only When Upgrade Is Available

Avatar

Hi,

Is there a way to set up a recurring update package that runs only when an update to a software is available?

Or is a set time to run weekly/monthly the only way?

Thanks.

    Is this what you're looking to do?

    Yes, but its not clear.

    The update will automatically down load, but will it automatically start deploying when its downloaded? Or do I need to set a schedule?

    I want the deployments to run about 48 hours after they are downloaded, not wait to run on a Wednesday, or Monday after the update is downloaded. I don't want the deployment to run if there has been no update downloaded.

    The package will not start deploying itself. A schedule will facilitate the deployments.

    You'll want to set your approval time to 2 days then configure a time on a daily interval to deploy those updates on your schedule. The update will downloaded 2 days (48 hours) after the update is published then will deploy the next time your schedule's trigger is configured.
