Deployment package processing in the InForm application

Deployment package processing in the InForm application]

Characteristic

Description

What the deployment process creates

  • An InForm server and a study, if they do not already exist. The process of creating the InForm study creates an Oracle user for the study database tables.
  • MedML definitions for CDD or CIS mappings, if the deployment package includes CDD or CIS mappings.
  • A log file called StudyInstaller.log in the InForm installation folder. This log file contains information that can be used to debug problems with deployment. Messages from each subsequent deployment are appended to the log.

What the deployment process does not create

The Oracle user and system DSN for a CDD or for a Clintrial protocol that is the target of CIS mappings. You must create the CDD Oracle user and DSN through the InForm Service. The Oracle user and DSN for a Clintrial protocol are created through the Clintrial application or through CIS synchronization.

Deployment package processing

The deployment process for deployment in the InForm application:

  1. Creates the InForm application server, if it does not already exist.
  2. Creates the InForm study database, if it does not already exist.
  3. Installs the MedML (InForm-specific metadata XML) definitions for the Base study components, if the deployment package is for a full deployment. The Base study components include system resources, settings, and form definitions common to all InForm studies.

    Note: Do not create the Base study with the dbsetup utility before running the Deployment Wizard. Deployment processing does not succeed if the Base study already exists. If you install a deployment package using command-line options, you can override this restriction. For more information, see Installing a deployment package using command-line options.

You can follow the progress of the deployment in the message box on the last page of the Deployment Wizard.
