About webMethods Deployer
webMethods Deployer is a tool you use to deploy user-created assets that reside on source webMethods runtimes or repositories to target webMethods run-time components (runtimes). For example, you might want to deploy assets you have developed on servers in a development environment (the source) to servers in a test or production environment (the target).
With Deployer, you can deploy user-created assets, but you cannot deploy webMethods components that have been installed by the Software AG Installer as part of a product. For example, you can deploy Integration Server packages that have been created by users, but you cannot deploy Integration Server packages that were installed, such as WmPRT. If you want such components to reside on target runtimes, you must install them using the Software AG Installer.
Deployer is installed on Integration Server. This help can refer to Integration Server as the host server for Deployer, and as a runtime from which you can deploy assets using Deployer. You can also use Microservices Runtime as the host server, and as a runtime from which you can deploy assets.
Deployer supports two scenarios for deploying assets:
In a
runtime-based deployment scenario,
Deployer deploys assets from
webMethods runtimes to which
Deployer is connected.
Deprecation Notice: Beginning with release version 10.5, runtime-based deployment is deprecated. Software AG recommends that you use the Asset Build Environment and repository-based deployment instead.
In a
repository-based deployment scenario,
Deployer deploys assets built from sources in a development environment or version control system (VCS) and stored in a repository.
