This topic describes how to promote Projects to a remote Server. This promotion
method occurs at the Project level, where Projects are bundled and then deployed in
their entirety, with all dependencies between other Projects in working order (i.e. no
errors). Remote promotion may require special licensing, depending on the type and number of
remote servers being used.
Cleo recommends that you maintain separate test and production Server environments.
Never promote Projects to a production environment until thorough testing in a test
environment has been completed first.
-
From the Admin Console's main menu bar, select your Production Server
from the Server Environment drop-down.
This example shows the selection of a remote test server.
-
Connect to the server by signing into the Login
screen.
A valid user ID and password combination are required for server access. (By
default, User ID = ebiadmin, and Password = password)
-
From the Projects view, select the Project from the Workspace
section, and drag it to the Server Projects section. The Project appears
with a status of Bundled, not Deployed. Clicking the Bundle
Project button accomplishes the same.
At this point the Project has been packaged and made ready for
deployment.
-
From the Server Projects section, click the
Deploy all bundled project(s) button .
Note: Never cancel the deployment while in process.
If the remote server is running (and not suspended), you will be prompted with
a
Server Not Suspended warning message. While you may proceed with
deployment, it is always recommended to suspend
your remote
server before this final deployment step.
Once successfully deployed, the Project now appears with a
version/date/time stamp and a status of
Deployed. The Project is now
operational. However, certain objects (monitors, etc.) may still need to be
started. See
Starting Objects.
