The Deployment Profile defines information about the production environment, including information about the assignment of Services and message destinations to application or integration servers and JMS IQ Managers within the Sun Master Patient Index system. Each Sun Master Patient Index project must have at least one Deployment Profile, and can have several, depending on the project requirements and the number of Environments used. You need to deploy the Sun Master Patient Index server project before deploying the client projects in order to make the master index application available to the client Deployment Profiles.
