Updating an E-form Environment
After you deploy an e-form environment, it is possible that some elements of the environment may change, such as port numbers or folder locations. In this case, you can enter the changes to the environment and then deploy the updates to the target hosts.
To update an e-form environment
1. Log on to My webMethods using an account that has permissions for deploying an e-form environments (the Administrator account has these permissions by default).
2. In My webMethods: Navigate > Applications > Administration > System-Wide > Environments > Define Environments.
4. Click Finish when you have entered all of your changes.
5. In the Environments window, click the Deploy icon for the environment. Important: The following step specifies that you click Deploy Updates. Do not click Deploy All. If you click Deploy All, you will create a new environment on the target hosts. Also note that because the Friendly Name is the unique key for an environment, if you change it and then deploy the environment to the same Integration Server host, a new environment will be created on the host regardless of the deployment method (Deploy All or Deploy Updates).
6. On the Deployment Results tab, click Deploy Updates. This action deploys updates in the e-form environment to all of the Integration Server hosts defined in the environment.
7. Results of the deployment appear in the text box on the Deployment Results tab. If the deployment is unsuccessful:
a. Note the messages in the results text.
b. Return to the Define Environments page.
c. Make corrections to the environment as needed.
d. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
