Deploy an archive with deployment portal

Use this procedure when you need to deploy an Genero Archive (gar) file on your Genero Application Server using the deployment portal.

As a prerequisite, you have a Genero Archive (gar) file.

The deployment portal provides you with a user interface to the action to deploy implemented by the gasadmin gar command. The archive is unpacked in the $(res.appdata.path)/deployment directory.
Note: The application/service deployed is named with the xcf, not the Genero Archive (gar) file name.
  1. Open the deployment portal page.
    For example, on your local machine enter this URL in your browser: http://localhost:6394/ws/r/services/DeploymentService/html.
    Note: This example assumes the standalone dispatcher on your GAS installation is already started on you local machine at the default port number.
    On a remote machine, you need to specify the appropriate URL for the server and port in your browser, for example: http://zeus:8090/ws/r/services/DeploymentService/html.
    Note: This example assumes you have explicitly configured the remote server's GAS configuration's ALLOW_FROM element with details to allow access from your machine.
  2. Scroll to the Deploy a new Genero Archive section.
  3. Select the Choose file button to open a system dialog screen.
  4. Locate the Genero Archive (gar) file you wish to deploy using the dialog to upload it.

    Once the file is uploaded, its name is displayed to the right of the Choose file button.

  5. To deploy it, click on the Deploy button.

    The new applications/services are displayed in the table listing deployed applications.

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