4.3. Deploy your channels

Deployment means that active channels are put in production in the messaging engine. It happens in 2 steps: once a channel is configured, you should request 'activation', then you should 'deploy' the active channels in production. From that time on, these channels will process incoming messages according to their specific configuration.

The last 2 columns of List of Channels table displays the channel status as illustrated hereunder:

  • The Status column indicates if the channel is actually deployed in production. This status is either On, channel is active and working, or Off, channel is not active.

  • The Next Deployment column indicates what will happen after the next deployment. This status is either No Change, channel status will not be modified, or Activate, channel is currently not active and will be active, or Deactivate, channel is currently active and will become inactive, or Apply Changes, channel is currently active and modifications will be applied.
