Deploy an archive with the Deployment App

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

Before you begin:

  • Before you can use the Deployment App, you need to configure and enable the Genero Identity Provider (GIP) on your GAS. You use the StarterApp to perform the installation of the GIP. The Deployment App utilizes the Deployment Service. You must select these components in your GIP configuration at the time of installation.

  • You have created a Genero Archive (gar) file.

About this task:
The archive is unpacked in the directory specified by the $(res.deployment.root) resource in the GAS configuration file. If you have not configured this resource, the GAS default resolves to the $(res.appdata.path)/deployment directory.
Note:

The application/service deployed is named with the xcf, not the Genero Archive (gar) file name.

  1. Start the Genero Deployment App as an authorized user.
    The Genero Deployment App is located at http[s]://host:port/[gas/]ua/r/admin/DeploymentApp.
    Tip:

    Select the Deployment application link from the GAS demos page at http[s]://host:port/[gas/]demos.html.

  2. Select Deploy > Genero Archives ....
  3. In the Manage Genero Archives screen click the Deploy button.
  4. Use the dialog that opens to locate the archive you wish to deploy.

    You can drag and drop your file into the dialog window.

    The new archive is deployed and displayed in the list.

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