Synchronizing Consumer Applications through CentraSite Control

webMethods and Intelligent Business Operations 10.2 | CentraSite User's Guide | Runtime Governance | Consumer Management | Synchronizing Consumer Applications through CentraSite Control

Pre-requisites:

To synchronize consumer applications in CentraSite with Mediator, you must have the following roles:

CentraSite Administrator: to synchronize consumers of any organization with an instance of Mediator belonging to any organization.

Organization Administrator: to synchronize consumers with an instance of Mediator to which your Manage Organizations permission applies.

Mediator Administrator: to synchronize consumers with an instance of Mediator belonging to the organization to which your Mediator Administrator role applies.

Mediator Publisher: to synchronize consumers with an instance of Mediator belonging to the organization to which your Mediator Publisher role applies.

You synchronize, also termed deploy, consumer applications to a policy enforcement point (PEP) such as webMethods Mediator to perform client validation.

To synchronize 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.

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 and 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.
