Oracle ATG Web Commerce includes a deployment system you can use to deploy repository and file-based assets from one server cluster to another—typically, from a development environment to a cluster that represents a staging or production site. DAF deployments are designed to optimize performance and scalability by using multi-threading in a multi-server configuration. Error recovery is supported; you can resume a deployment after an error occurs, or after a deployment is halted manually, without restarting the entire operation. If your deployment setup includes Oracle ATG Web Commerce Content Administration, you can also roll the target site back to a previous state.
Oracle ATG Web Commerce Content Administration is a content and deployment management system that uses DAF deployment. For more information, see the ATG Content Administration Programming Guide.
Non-Versioned and Versioned Deployments
DAF deployment can be used to deploy content from non-versioned and versioned repositories:
You can deploy from multiple non-versioned GSA repositories, where each source repository has a corresponding target repository. DAF deployment can also deploy file items from one or more non-versioned virtual file systems to corresponding virtual file systems on the target site.
Oracle ATG Web Commerce Content Administration uses DAF deployment to deploy data in versioned repositories and files to non-versioned repositories and virtual file systems, respectively.
