Connecting to webMethods Servers

For runtime-based deployment projects, the source servers are those servers from which you select assets for deployment. For repository-based deployment you do not connect to source servers. The source for repository-based deployment is always the repository on which the composites are built. For more information about adding a source repository, see Connecting to a Repository for Repository-Based Deployment.

For both runtime- and repository-based deployment, you can perform the tasks in this section to map the assets from the source servers or repository to target servers. You define target servers to define the location to which Deployer deploys assets from the source server or repository.

For every source and target server you add, you select the version of the webMethods runtime for that server. For example, if you are adding a target Integration Server that is running version 8.2 SP1, you would select 8.2 for the version. The version you select affects the source and target servers you can include in the project as follows:

For runtime-based deployment projects, after you select the source servers, Deployer displays only servers running compatible versions for selection as target servers. For example, if you select source servers of version 8.0, Deployer displays only target servers and target groups with a version of 8.0 or 8.2 for mapping.

Source Version	Compatible Target Versions
7.1	7.1
8.0	8.0, 8.2 8.2 targets support only the following runtimes from 8.0 sources: Integration Server Trading Networks BPM process models
8.2	8.2
9.0	9.0
9.5	9.5
9.6	9.6
9.7	9.7
9.8	9.8
9.9	9.9
9.10	9.10
9.12	9.12
10.0	10.0
10.1	10.1
10.2	10.2
10.3	10.3

Additionally, you can import builds from projects created with Deployer version 8.2 or earlier to Deployer 9.0 or later for deployment. For example, you could import a build from a version 8.0 project into Deployer 9.0.

For repository-based deployment projects, each project includes sources and targets of only one version. You cannot include source repositories or target servers of different versions.

For repository-based deployment projects, Deployer deploys only target servers and target groups of version 8.2 SP1 and later. Because repository-based deployment does not use source servers, Deployer limits the version of the targets in your project according to the first target server or target group you select for mapping. For example, if you select a target server of version 8.2, Deployer displays only target servers and target groups of version 8.2 for mapping.
