Deployment Manager Known Facts and Limitations
The feature is available by default in the Production Environment. To enable this feature in API Sandbox and Central Sandbox, contact Zuora Global Support.
Known facts
The Deployment Manager has the following behaviors by design concerning Workflow, Custom Objects, Notifications, and General facts:
Always deploy Custom Fields prior to deploying Chart of Accounts and Invoice Templates.
Workflow
- When the source tenant and the target tenant have workflows with the same name but different versions, the result of deployment is an incremental active version of the same workflow in the target tenant. Version increment is based on the last version present in the target. For example, if a workflow is present in both the source and the target, the source has versions 0.0.3, 0.0.2, and 0.0.1, while the target has versions 0.0.2 and 0.0.1. Following deployment, an incremental version of 0.0.3 will be created regardless of whether the user selected only 0.0.2 or 0.0.1.
- When a workflow is configured in the source tenant but missing in the target tenant, the result of deployment is a new workflow created in the target tenant with the same version as present in the source tenant.
Custom Objects
- If a custom object is present in both source and target tenants, and the migration flag (
enableRecordMigrationfield) is enabled in the source but not in the target, the flag will be enabled in the target but the records will not be migrated by the deployment. - The provisioning for Custom Objects limit in the tenant is 10. The deployment will not succeed when this limit is reached in the target tenant, the deployment will not succeed.
Notifications
- If there are notifications with the same name, the system will only deploy the Notification that is read first in the backend, other Notifications with the same name will not be deployed.
General
- The Deployment Manager does not delete the function for objects configured in the target tenant.
