Deployment Manager
One of the greatest strengths of the JDesignerPro system is its integrated deployment capability. The Deployment Manager is where you will move your application screens to the production server to make them available to users. This may be the same machine on which you are currently developing. If you use Deployment Manager to move class files to a remote install of JDesignerPro, the local and remote licenses of JDesignerPro must be the exact same version.
All classes that you wish to deploy must be in the JDesignerPro root directory.
On this screen there are two types of deployment. You may deploy a client application or a server application. To deploy a client application click on the Client Deployment tab. To deploy an application to execute in the BulletProof Enterprise Management Server click on the Server Deployment tab.
Client Deployment
Choose the type of client deployment you wish to use.
- Local Deployment - when you wish to deploy the client application into a webserver on the machine that it was developed on. If you are logged into JDesignerPro through a browser this will be the only option that you will see. In this case you are deploying on the server you are logged into.
- Remote Deployment - when you are running JDesignerPro on your own machine but wish to deploy the finished application to a remote server that has JDesignerPro installed. Note that both machines must be licensed and also be running the same version of JDesignerPro.
Server Deployment
Server Deployment is used when you have created a Non-Visual Server Side module using the Application Builder and you want to set it up in the Enterprise Management Server to be run by the Scheduler or to be manually started by a user or another application.
This is done using the Event Maintenance screen which is located here under the name "Server Deployment" for convenience but can also be found on the Enterprise Server menu.
