EnvironmentDeployment_MAPDEPLOY

Introduction

Since 10.8, it is possible to deploy an environment to another environment (remote or local). This can be very useful for copying the environment setting from Preproduction to a 'production environment.

Important: It is important to use it between 'pre-production and production environments (and not development) because this module allows the identical replication of 2 environments (with the possibility of selecting a particular format in order to avoid updating all the formats). If you don't have a staging environment, you should create one or not use this module.

Principle of operation

The MAPDPELOY command (accessible via the Exploitation / Environment Deployment meny) allows you to deploy a staging environment to a production environment. Indeed, in good practice, it is advisable not to generate the models or to create the rules/actions directly on the production environment but on the pre-production environment. Once the processing(s) have been validated on this pre-production environment, it is necessary to send its configuration to the production environment. (Model, rules, actions, etc.). To do this, it is very convenient to use the environment deployment menu. This allows you to fill in the recipient hosts, select the format(s) to send or delete or to send the entire configuration (all formats, rules and actions)

In case you want to send the whole environment (option 11 of the menu), all formats, rules, actions, conversion files, printer settings, etc. will be sent. In the case of a simple sending of selected formats, only this format and a few configuration files are sent (see table below)

Menus

The MAPDEPLOY command has several menus:

1.    
2.    Host server settings

11.  Deploying a full environment

21.  Setting up the formats to be deployed
22.  Deploying Selected Formats

31.  Viewing FTP History

General settings

Use this option to fill in the global settings for deployment management.

• Source MAPPING library
• UCS2 Library
• IFS Path
• Intermediate library
• Prefix of savefiles
• Savefile library
• Minimum target version
• FT log file library
• Authorized users

Context-sensitive help is available via the F1 key.

Host server settings

This option allows you to populate the destination host servers. The host server will be populated during a deployment (partial or global). To create a new host, you need to do F6:

• Server Name
• Description
• Group code
• Name or address serv.
• User profile
• Password
• Opal Library
• UCS2 Library
• IFS Path

Context-sensitive help is available via the F1 key.

Deploying a full environment

• Deployment servers
• Source library
• UCS2 Library
• IFS Path
• Batch processing
• Restore savefiles

Context-sensitive help is available via the F1 key.

Setting up the formats to be deployed

• Option 1 in front of a format to copy to the host server
• Option 2 in front of a format to delete it on the host server

Context-sensitive help is available via the F1 key.

Deploying Selected Formats

• Deployment servers
• Source library
• UCS2 Library
• Intermediate library
• IFS Path
• Batch processing
• Restore savefiles

Context-sensitive help is available via the F1 key.

TRANSFERR3 and TRANSFERS3

This savefile contains the contents of the lgobitmap directory and the ttf directory.

Note: This savefile, in a future release, will contain only the contents of the ttf directory, as the lgobitmap directory will have to be managed manually, just as it is already the case for format builds and imports. Indeed, a massive uncontrolled update of the lgobitmap directory can be risky since this directory contains cross-functional resources with several models.
