Basic Steps for Deploying a Configuration
The following high-level steps describe how to create and roll out a configuration to an environment using the My webMethods Define Environments page.
To deploy a configuration
1. Install My webMethods and other webMethods products with theSoftware AG Installer.
For installation instructions and database configuration details, see Installing Software AG Products.
2. Start the Analytic Engine, the Web Service Data Collector, the Infrastructure Data Collector.
For more information, see Administering webMethods Optimize.
3. Configure the database pools that you want to make available to the product components in the environment.
For more information, see
Database Pool Configuration.
4. Define and configure a webMethods environment.
Use the first six configuration tabs on the
Edit Environment page to define and configure a
webMethods environment. Start with the
Design Servers tab and continue configuring all but the final tab, until the servers and database pools are configured and mapped. For more information, see
Managing webMethods Optimize
Environments.
5. Use the Validate configuration tab on the Edit Environment page to validate the configuration.
6. Once a configuration is validated, you can deploy that configuration either to the environment or to a file by clicking the Deploy icon (
). When you deploy a configuration to the environment for the first time, the logical servers automatically start using the configuration; however, if you edit and re-deploy a configuration, the logical servers in the environment must be restarted for the new configuration settings to take effect. For more information, see
Managing webMethods Optimize
Environments.
After an environment configuration has been deployed, you can modify and re-deploy at any time. Use
My webMethods Define Environments page as described in
Managing webMethods Optimize
Environments to edit and re-deploy.
