Deploy an archive with PublishGAR

The FGL Web services PublishGAR tool that is provided in the Genero BDL installation allows you to deploy applications on both local and remote servers.

As a prerequisite, you have a Genero Archive file.

Tip: It is a good idea to set your Genero BDL environment to access the commands by running the script $FGLDIR/envcomp.

You can use PublishGAR from the command line to deploy Genero Archive (gar) files in the GAS $(res.appdata.path)/deployment directory of local and remote servers as shown in this procedure.

Tip: If you need to automate deployment, you can include commands with PublishGAR in a script file.

At the command line type fglrun with the appropriate command and arguments to use PublishGAR in deployment mode.

In this example, the Genero Archive (gar) file is deployed at the base URL of the GAS on a remote Web server.

fglrun 
          $FGLDIR/web_utilities/services/deployment/bin/PublishGAR
http://zeus:8090/gas deploy myApp.gar

Note: This example assumes the dispatcher on your GAS installation is already started on the remote server.

In this example, the Genero Archive (gar) file is deployed on the local server where the standalone dispatcher on your GAS installation is already started at the default port.

fglrun 
          $FGLDIR/web_utilities/services/deployment/bin/PublishGAR
http://localhost:6394 deploy myApp.gar

All applications and services are deployed in the default group of the application server.
