The ATG distribution provides two VFSs that can be configured for switch deployments:
/atg/epub/file/
ConfigFileSystem/atg/epub/file/
WWWFileSystem
ConfigFileSystem
The ATG distribution provides ConfigFileSystem with the Publishing agent. As installed, ConfigFileSystem is configured for online deployments. In order to deploy personalization and scenario assets to the target, you must configure ConfigFileSystem on each ATG server for switch deployments.
To configure each ConfigFileSystem VFS for switch deployments, perform these steps for each target ATG server:
Create an instance of
atg.vfs.switchable.
SwitchableLocalFileSystem. The installation provides aConfigFileSystem.properties
file that you can copy from this location.<ATG10dir>/PublishingAgent/config/atg/epub/file/
Uncomment the settings that are specific to switch deployment, and modify the properties where necessary. For more information about these properties, see SwitchableLocalFileSystem in Appendix B, Virtual File Systems.
Place the new
ConfigFileSystem.properties
file in each server’slocalconfig
directory:../localconfig/atg/epub/file/
For each server, add ConfigFileSystem to the list of switchable data stores configured in the DeploymentAgent:
../localconfig/atg/epub/DeploymentAgent.properties
Set
switchableDataStores
to the ConfigFileSystem’s fully qualified Nucleus path:/atg/epub/file/ConfigFileSystem
WWWFileSystem
The ATG distribution provides WWWFileSystem with the Publishing Web agent. As installed, it is configured for online deployments. If you install the Publishing Web agent on the target Web servers for deployment of deploy static text and binary files, you can configure the WWWFileSystem on each Web server for switch deployments.
To configure each WWWFileSystem VFS for switch deployments, perform these steps for each target Web server:
Create an instance of
atg.vfs.switchable.
SwitchableLocalFileSystem . The installation provides aWWWFileSystem.properties
file that you can copy from this location.<ATG10dir>/PublishingWebAgent/config/atg/epub/file/
Uncomment the settings that are specific to switch deployment, and modify the properties where necessary. For more information about these properties, see SwitchableLocalFileSystem in Appendix B, Virtual File Systems.
Place the new
WWWFileSystem.properties
file in each server’slocalconfig
directory:../localconfig/atg/epub/file/
For each server, add WWWFileSystem to the list of switchable data stores configured in the DeploymentAgent:
../localconfig/atg/epub/DeploymentAgent.properties
Specify WWWFileSystem by its fully qualified Nucleus path:
/atg/epub/file/WWWFileSystem
Configure VFSs on a New ATG server for Switch Deployment
When adding an ATG server or Web server to an existing target, configure its switchable VFSs like those on the existing ATG target servers. Verify that:
It has the same underlying data sources.
Its initial data store, specified in the
name1
property of the VFS, is the same as their current data store, so the new server’s agent application starts up using the same data store.
