The Deployment Manager feature is in the Early Adopter phase, which provides an enhanced digital experience. We are actively soliciting feedback from a small set of early adopters before releasing it as generally available. If you want to join this early adopter program, submit a request at 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.   
  • Compare differences of values between the source tenant and the target tenant
  • Revert to the previous state in the target tenant
  • View deployment history and logs
