Choosing the deployment type
The InForm Adapter comes with:
- Three variations of the web.config file to support the different configurations that are used to deploy provisioning.
- The utility WebConfigFileSelector.cmd, which you use to set the appropriate config file for your configuration type.
To select the deployment type:
- Open a Command Prompt window and change to the <InForm_Adapter_installation_directory>\DiscrepancyService\ directory.
- Issue the following command:
WebConfigFileSelector.cmd CONFIGURATION
where CONFIGURATION specifies the deployment type.
For example:
WebConfigFileSelector.cmd F5
The utility replaces the InFormAdapter\DiscrepancyService\web.config file with one of the following files.
