Deploying an Environment

After an environment has been configured and successfully validated, you can either deploy that environment configuration to the logical servers or save that environment configuration to a file.

When an environment configuration is deployed to the logical servers, Central Configurator pushes the configuration details out to the specified subcomponents. You have the option to deploy all configuration files to all logical servers in an environment or to deploy only the modified configuration files to the affected logical servers in the environment. You also can deploy a configuration to a file; see Deploying to a File.

When you deploy a configuration to an environment for the first time, the logical servers automatically start using that configuration. If you edit a configuration and deploy only the updates, the logical servers in the environment must be restarted for the new configuration settings to take effect. In fact, regardless of whether you deploy only updates or deploy all of an edited configuration, the logical servers in the environment must be restarted for the new configuration settings to take effect.

If you want to use the Analytic Engine in Static DB Schema mode, when you deploy an environment configuration for the first time, you must make sure that:

The Disable DDL Statements check box is cleared. For more information, see Defining Database Settings.

The analysis database pool is configured with a DB user that has the required permissions to execute DDL statements. For more information, see Mapping Database Pools.

This will ensure that the intrinsic metrics will be correctly created and populated.

Note:
Errors generated during deployment are written to the My webMethods log file, located in Software AG_directory / My webMethods Server_directory /server/default/logs. If an error is generated during this time, review the log file for additional information about the error.

1. In My webMethods: Navigate > Applications > Administration > System-Wide > Environments > Define Environments.

The Define Environments page displays a list of defined environments and their configuration and deployment statuses.

3. Click Deploy All to deploy all configuration files to all logical servers in an environment, or click Deploy Updates to deploy only the modified configuration files to the affected logical servers in the environment.

The status of the deployment operation appears after the operation is completed. The status includes a list of the files that were deployed to the environment and also lists any errors that occurred.

Note:
If you edit a configuration and deploy only the updates, the logical servers in the environment must be restarted for the new configuration settings to take effect.
