Deploying Consumer Applications from the Operations > Deployment Page
The following procedure describes how to deploy multiple consumer application assets to a Mediator in a single step.
To deploy consumer applications
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Operations > Deployment.
2. On the Deploy Consumers tab, click the Synchronize button.
3. In the Select a Target and Consumer Applications to be Deployed dialog box, perform a keyword or advanced search to display the consumer applications and the targets that are ready for deployment.
4. Click OK.
5. The deployment process is carried out by a synchronous mechanism between the CentraSite and the 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 will display 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 (e.g., 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 virtualized services successfully. If the deployment process failed, identify and correct the error and then try deploying the virtualized services again. |
