What do I need to know about deployment?
Deployment
is the process of transferring data to an execution group belonging to a broker,
so that it can take effect in the broker domain. Use the following links to
find out more about deployment.
How do I deploy message flow applications?
You must
have a broker domain configured and the components running to deploy message
flow applications to an execution group. Use the links in this section to
find out how to deploy your message flow applications and related resources
to an execution group.
- How do I add an execution group?
An execution group is a
named grouping of message flows that have been assigned to a broker. The broker
enforces a degree of isolation between message flows in distinct execution
groups by ensuring that they execute in separate address spaces, or as unique
processes. When you add a broker to a broker domain, the default execution
group is created automatically. You can create more execution groups in a
number of different ways:
- How do I create a server project?
You
must have a server project to create a broker archive file. Use this link
to get instructions on how to create a server project. Alternatively, if you
have created a default configuration or created a broker domain in your Message
Brokers Toolkit, you can use the server project that contains your broker
domain configuration details, instead of creating a new server project.
- How can I create a broker archive?
A
broker archive file is a compressed file that contains compiled message flows,
message dictionaries and other application development resources. Use this
link to find out how to create a broker archive. You can use the Broker Archive editor to
add or remove message flows and message sets to or from your broker archive,
and to edit the configurable properties within your bar file.
- How can I add resources to a broker archive?
You
can add message flows and message sets to a broker archive file. The message
flows, message sets and related resources are compiled when they are added
to the broker archive file. You can also choose to add the source files to
the broker archive file. You can not add resources to a broker archive file
from a project that contains an error.
- How can I deploy a broker archive file?
Find
out about the different ways that you can deploy a broker archive file to
a broker. For deploying applications during development to a test environment,
the simplest method is to use the Message Brokers Toolkit. When you deploy
to a broker you select an execution group to deploy to.
- How do I check the results of deployment?
Use
this link to find out how you can check the results of a deployment.
- How do I refresh the contents of a broker archive?
You
can refresh the contents of a broker archive by removing resources from it
and, having made required changes, add them back again. Alternatively you
can use the Refresh option in the Broker Archive editor.
How can I configure applications?
Use the links
in this section to find out how to configure your applications for use in
a production environment.
What are the other types of deployment?
Use the
links in this section to find out how to deploy changes to your configuration
or publish/subscribe settings to the broker.
