Deployment through Change Sets

Deployment: Step 0: Connect your Sandbox and Production orgs Setup >> Deploy >> Deployment Connections  You’ll only need to do this once! Step 1: Navigate to the Outbound Change Sets page in Sandbox Setup >> Deploy >> Outbound Change Sets Step 2: Add all necessary components to a new change set, then upload to Production Step 3: Login to your production org, find the Inbound Change Set, and deploy! Setup >> Deploy >> Inbound Change Sets Change sets A change set is a means by which one organization can send customizations to another organization. For example, you could create a new object in a sandbox organization and send it to your production organization using a change set. Change sets can only contain modifications you can make through the Setup menu; therefore, you can't use a change set to upload a list of contact records. In other words, change sets contain metadata, not data. Sending a change set between two organizations requires a deployment connection. Change sets can only be sent between organizations that are affiliated with a production organization—for example, a production organization and a sandbox, or two sandboxes created from the same organization. To deploy a change set: 1.From Setup, click Deploy | Inbound Change Sets. 2.In the Change Sets Awaiting Deployment list, click the name of the change set you want to deploy. 3.Click Deploy. A change set is deployed in a single transaction. If the deployment is unable to complete for any reason, the entire transaction is rolled back. After a deployment completes successfully, all changes are committed to your organization and the deployment can’t be rolled back. You can validate a change set without deploying changes. Validating a change set allows you to view the success or failure messages you would receive with an actual deploy. 1.From Setup, click Deploy | Inbound Change Sets. 2.Click the name of a change set. 3.Click Validate.
