This chapter shows how to set up ATG Content Administration deployment.
If necessary, install ATG 2007.3 on each applicable server in your staging and/or production targets before beginning this process. For information, see the ATG Installation and Configuration Guide.
Deployment setup steps
To set up ATG Content Administration deployment:
Plan Deployment Topology—that is, the target sites and agents that make up the environment where you deploy asset data.
Within each deployment target:
Configure the deployment mode for target servers: either Configure Switch Deployment, or Configure Online Deployment.
Manage Asset Security on Target Sites: adopt a strategy to protect the ATG Content Administration-managed assets on the target from user modification.
Configure the ATG Content Administration server:
Configure Deployment Data Sources and Destination Repositories used by the DAF deployment system.
Define the Deployment Topology for use by the
DeploymentServer.If your environment has several Content Administration clusters, you can Configure Deployment from Multiple Content Administration Server Clusters to the same site, if desired.
If desired, Schedule Recurring Deployment of completed projects.
If desired, Configure Workflows for Immediate Project Deployment.
If desired, on the ATG Content Administration server and/or target servers, Configure Deployment Event Listeners that listen for deployment events and take appropriate action.
Schedule Deletion of Empty Folders for folders whose assets moved to a renamed folder.
Optionally, you can Cache Checksums for File Assets in order to optimize deployment of file assets. More generally, you might want to employ various other strategies for optimizing frequent deployments, or deployments of very large numbers of assets. For detailed information, see Configuring DAF Deployment for Performance in the ATG Programming Guide.
