Solutions user guide
Overview
The Deployments sidebar provides a contextual view of a solution's deployment directly from the Deployments tab. It lets you inspect various details of a deployment, as well as manage it to ensure your solution is working properly.
The sidebar title shows the deployment name in the format Deployment: [name]. Below it, you can see the folder path and the author of the deployment. Furthermore, you can see the package version with a Latest badge if the installed version is the most recently published one, and the package author.
The body of the sidebar shows the most recent operation (for example, Edit configuration or Install), its progress through the workflow stages, the solution folder path (clickable, to navigate to the folder in Orchestrator), and the operation outcome with elapsed time.
The sidebar provides three tabs: Resources, History, and Jobs.
Expanding the Deployments sidebar
To expand the Deployments sidebar:
- Navigate to Orchestrator > Solutions.
- Select the Deployments tab.
- From the list, select a solution deployment.
Result: The Deployments sidebar opens on the right side of the screen and remains in context while you browse deployment information.
If your deployment is successfully installed and activated, you can select Deployment details from the Deployment logs, and navigate directly to the Deployments sidebar.
Managing a deployment from the sidebar
The actions available in the sidebar depend on the state of the deployment.
| Deployment state | Available actions |
|---|---|
| Active (no pending draft) | Uninstall, Edit. To open the solution folder, select the folder path at the top of the sidebar. |
| Active (Draft row selected) | Continue editing (primary), Go to folder, Delete draft |
| Inactive (Ready to activate) | Activate deployment (primary), Go to folder, Edit, Uninstall |
| Inactive (Needs setup to activate) | Set up activation (primary), Go to folder, Edit, Uninstall |
| In progress | No actions available |
Active deployment
The sidebar for an active deployment (no pending draft) shows the Uninstall and Edit actions. Select the clickable folder path at the top of the sidebar to open the solution folder in Orchestrator.
Draft deployment
When you select a Draft row, the sidebar reflects the pending operation and shows Continue editing, Go to folder, and Delete draft.
On the Resources tab, you can view a list of all components included in your solution, including processes, connections, triggers, assets, and storage buckets.
Navigating the History tab
For each deployment, you can view details regarding its history.
If you have performed more than 20 operations on a deployment, increase the number of items displayed on the History table.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Version | The deployed solution version. |
| Last operation | The most recent operation performed on the deployment, such as Install, Uninstall, Activation setup, Upgrade, Downgrade, Configuration change, or Rollback. |
| Status | The current status of the deployment. |
| Started | The time elapsed since the deployment started. |
| Author | The username of the user who performed the operation. |
Navigating the Jobs tab
The Jobs tab displays the jobs associated with the selected deployment. Only the top 50 jobs started in the last 24 hours are shown; if no jobs exist in that period, a message is displayed instead.
Selecting a job opens a Job Details sidepanel. Selecting Explore all opens the jobs page in Orchestrator.
The Jobs tab is available only for deployments with an associated Orchestrator folder.
