I am setting up ADR for MS patch Tuesdays, and have a question concerning the process and how best to minimize disk space for updates. I have a need for targeting PILOT collection first, and then PRODUCTION, once the PILOT is successful. Currently I have the following:
For the PILOT collection::
Create the ADR
Target a collection - in this case pilot
Deployment package is selected for example XXXX
Package source path is \\YYYY
ADR runs on a schedule and creates a new SUG
The deployment is enabled after the rule is run
Deployment Schedule is X
For the PRODUCTION collection:
Create the ADR
Target a collection - in this case production
Deployment package is selected for example ZZZZ
Package source path is \\WWWW
ADR runs on a schedule and creates a new SUG
The deployment is enabled after the rule is run
Deployment schedule is X+5 days
My question is can I share the Deployment Package between PILOT and PRODUCTION ADRs [e.g. XXXX] and therefore share the package source [e.g. \\YYYY]? This may be a silly question but want to ensure I can piggyback in this way, as running the ADRs separately into distinct package source paths duplicates the download file content.
Appreciate your assistance,
