Deployment Manager Overview
The feature is available by default in the Production Environment. To enable this feature in API Sandbox and Central Sandbox, contact Zuora Global Support.
Introduction
Deployment Manager helps you manage the tenant migration process effectively and efficiently in Zuora.
A deployment is an automated process to migrate metadata objects from a source tenant to a target tenant. Metadata objects in Zuora can be Settings, Custom Fields, Notifications, etc.
Suppose you want to start a new tenant in Zuora as you expand your subscription business. To expedite the go-live process of the new tenant in production, you can use the Deployment Manager to migrate the settings configuration from a sandbox tenant to the production tenant. The deployment process reduces manual efforts to the minimum while giving you the control to compare and select a subset of the most relevant settings.
Features
- Migrate metadata objects from the source tenant to the target tenant, for example, from a sandbox tenant to another sandbox tenant, from a sandbox tenant to a production tenant, or from a sandbox tenant to a QA tenant.
