Deploying Consumer Applications Through CentraSite Control
You can deploy consumer applications to a policy enforcement point (PEP) such as webMethods Mediator through the CentraSite Control.
To deploy consumer applications
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Operations > Deployment.
2. On the Deploy Consumers tab, click Synchronize.
3. In the Select a Target and Consumer Applications to be Deployed dialog box, perform a keyword or advanced search to display the list of consumer applications and targets that are ready for deployment.
4. Click OK.
5. The deployment process is carried out by a synchronous mechanism between CentraSite and Mediator:
a. CentraSite invokes the Mediator’s deployer service and pushes the consumer applications that are ready for deployment to the Mediator.
b. Instantly, Mediator deploys the consumer applications that were received from CentraSite and notifies CentraSite when the deployment process is complete.
The Deploy Consumers tab includes the following information:
Column | Description |
Pending Changes | Icons indicating the deployment status of the consumer applications. |
Icon | Description |
| The consumer application is deployed to the target. |
| The consumer application is pending deployment to the target. |
Rule ID | The synchronization rule ID of the target (that is, webMethods Mediator or Insight). |
Target | The name of the target on which the consumer application is deployed. |
Last Sync Date | The date/time that the deployment occurred. |
Status | The deployment status of the consumer application (for example, Deployed or Failed). |
Important: | If the status shown in the Status column does not automatically switch to Deployed or Failed, click the Refresh button to determine whether CentraSite was able to deploy the consumer applications successfully. If the deployment process failed, identify and correct the error and then try deploying the consumer application again. |
