How is every one else utilizing the new APD policies?
My requirements isnt that we patch on just a certain day of the week like a Saturday but it be a specific Saturday. Think of it Patch Tue + 11.
With the new option of deploy patches X amount of days past approval i thought i would be able to achieve this by the below config
Job is set to deploy patches 9 days after approval.
Below is the deployment settings. Since timing of Weeks is based on the 1st of the month I have no way to predict via automation which week the Patch Tue +11 is going to fall on so i have to select all weeks. But with an approved after and a expired date This should narrow down the Saterdays that i wish to deploy to the one I am looking for.
But what i have found in practice is It deployed patches at the first possible window according to the deployment Settings and ignored the approved date flag.
Deployment on the 14th is only patch tue +4. There is no possible way to have approved those patches before the 11th.
I'm sure i am using this wrong or made some poor assumptions. So how are you setting up your patching using the new APD tools? Patching any Saturday is not an option for my org To many variables.
My one work around was to adjust the deployment polices every month which is a possibility if nothing else works. But i would love to try and automate this.
Just looking for ideas on how others may be setting up their logic and seeing how we can fit that into our business requirements.
thanks!!
