Deploying the same App with multiple configurations
How to deploy the same app with multiple configurations using Patch My PC Cloud
You can deploy the same app with different configurations using Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud.
Important
For this to work, you must use a different Display Name for the deployment. If you don't, you will receive the “A deployment with the same name already exists” error.
To deploy same app with a different configuration:
Sign in to the portal at https://portal.patchmypc.com/.
Locate the required app on the App Catalog page.
Tip
Use the Search field to help you locate the app.
Note
The green cloud icon beside the version number tells you this software has already been deployed using PMPC Cloud.
Click the app to open its properties, then click Deploy to start the Deployment Wizard.
Note
See the Deployment Wizard Reference for details of each of the available options.
On the General Information page, in the Display Name field, enter a unique name for this deployment, then click Next.
On the Configurations page, configure the settings to add any required scripts or additional installation parameters, then click Next.
On the Assignments page, click Add Assignment, then select the assignment type you want to add for this deployment.
On the assignment page, select the relevant options, then click Save.
Note
If you add an available assignment, as shown below, we recommend selecting the same options in the Add update only app for section. Doing this will automatically make the current version of the app and any updates (current or future) available.
The Assignments page updates to show the newly created deployment.
Configure the settings for deployment if required.
Note
We automatically configure these settings based on our experience and best practices, but you can modify certain settings if necessary.
Tip
You can click Deploy on this page if you don’t want to add additional assignments or see the Overview page, which allows you to double-check the settings you’ve configured for this deployment.
Add any additional assignments for this deployment by clicking Add Assignment and repeating Steps 6 to 8, then click Next.
Review the deployment summary shown on the Summary page.
If you are happy, click Deploy.
If you need to change something, click < Prev to backtrack through the Deployment Wizard to the relevant setting. Make the change, then step back through the wizard to this page. If everything is now correct, click Deploy.
The Deployments page is displayed along with the Success - <deployment_name> deployment created notification.
