The Oracle Commerce Platform 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 ATG Content Administration, you can also roll the target site back to a previous state.
ATG Content Administration is a content and deployment management system that uses DAF deployment. For more information, see the 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.
ATG Content Administration uses DAF deployment to deploy data in versioned repositories and files to non-versioned repositories and virtual file systems, respectively.
