Deploying a Package to the CD Writer Location

After you define the CD writer as a deployment server, you are ready to deploy a package to the CD writer location that you specified. This task involves these two procedures:

Deploy to the CD writer location the package that you want to write to the CD.
Modify the Install.inf and Package.inf files in preparation for writing the package contents to the CD.

Access the Work with Package Deployment form.

Click Add.
Complete the forms in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Deployment Director in the same way as you would for any other package.
From the Work with Package Deployment form, find and select the package that you just scheduled for deployment, and then select Deploy from the Row menu to deploy the package.

After you deploy the package to the CD writer location, the directory structure for that location will look similar to this example:

Multitier\package_inf\Appl_B.inf

Multitier\systemcomp\system.cab

Multitier\datacomp\data.cab

Multitier\helpscomp\helps.cab

Multitier\Appl_pgf\Package\Appl_B

Multitier\package_inf\Appl_B.inf

In the previous example, Multitier is the name of the server share path. Appl_B is the package name.

Note: The server share path name is not included when you copy folders to the CD. In the previous example, the items that are copied to the CD are \package_inf\Appl_B.inf, \systemcomp\system.cab, and so on.

To modify the Install.inf and Package.inf files:

In Windows Explorer, find the CD writer location and open the folder that contains the package that you deployed.
This folder has the name that you entered in the Server Share Path field on the Deployment Server Revisions form when you defined the CD writer location. In the previous example, the server share path name is Multitier.
Open the Client Installation folder, and then open the file Install.inf.
That is, double-click the icon for the file to launch the Microsoft Notepad application.
In the section [FileLocations], modify the line so that two periods and a backslash (\) precede the package_inf entry.
The line should look like this example after you modify it:
```
[FileLocations] 
```
```
PackageInfs=..\package_inf 
```
Similarly, open the Package_inf folder and open the package name.inf file.
In the previous example, this file is named Appl_b.inf.
In the section [SrcDirs], modify each of the lines so that two periods and a backslash (\) precede each entry.
After modification, the [SrcDirs] section should look similar to this example:
```
[SrcDirs] 
```
```
SAPPL_PGF=..\APPL_PGF\package\APPL_B 
```
```
SSYS=..\systemcomp 
```
```
SAPPL_PGFDATA=..\datacomp 
```
```
SHELP=..\helpscomp 
```
