Understanding Deployment Groups
A QPM deployment group contains policy group definitions, with all their 
associated policies and library components, such as IP aliases and application 
aliases. 
QPM provides an empty default deployment group. You can rename this 
deployment group and begin working with it. You can create and manage multiple 
deployment groups. 
Note
You can view multiple deployment groups simultaneously in separate browser 
windows. However, we recommend that you edit only one deployment group at a 
time.
Whenever you save changes to a policy group or policy component, the changes 
are automatically saved in the deployment group. When you use library 
components in your policies, the dynamic link is automatically saved in the 
deployment group. Thus, there is no specific deployment group action required to 
save policy changes to the QPM deployment group. 
When you create a deployment job from a deployment group, QPM creates a 
versioned backup copy of the deployment group. This historical version can be 
viewed, restored for editing, and redeployed. For more information about 
managing historical deployment groups, see 
Deployment groups are stored on the QPM server. QPM maintains audit trail 
records for each deployment group, including the time the deployment group was 
last modified.
