Redeploying a Project

Prerequisites

If the Project includes modified document types and the documents are stored in a Collector archive, it is recommended to let the Archiver applications finish any ongoing archiving tasks and then stop the applications.

To redeploy a Project

1	Right-click the StreamServer application and select Redeploy.

To compare the export files when you redeploy a Project

1	Right-click the application domain for the Project and click Deploy export file.

2	Click the StreamServer application(s) to deploy the export file to and click Next.

3	Click Deploy an export file from the file system, browse to the export file for the Project, and click Next.

4	Click the physical layer to deploy, click Compare export packages on deploy and then click Next.

5	Review the comparison report and do one of the following:

–	Click Cancel to cancel the deployment.

–	Click Finish to continue and deploy the export file.

To redeploy a Project with modified document types

1	Right-click the StreamServer application and select Redeploy. The document types in the updated Project are compared with the existing document types in StreamServe Enterprise Repository.

2	If the document types differ, the Compare Document Types tool opens:

a	Examine the information in the tool. The type of difference determines whether you can complete the redeploy operation.

b	Click OK or Cancel.

If the redeploy succeeds, any modified document types are updated in the enterprise repository. When the StreamServer and Archiver applications are restarted, the document types are updated in the runtime repository and in the Collector archive.

If the redeploy fails due to modified document types, you can either:

–	Revert to a previous version of the Project, with the existing document types, and redeploy this Project.

–	Keep the updated Project and force the modified document types into the enterprise repository and the runtime repository.

To redeploy a Project with modified StoryTeller Processes

1	Right-click the StreamServer application and select Redeploy. The StoryTeller Processes in the Project are compared with existing templates in the StreamServe Enterprise Repository.

2	If no differences are found, the Project is successfully redeployed. If there are differences, the Compare Composition Center Templates tool opens:

a	Examine the information in the tool. Depending on the type of difference, you must either modify the StoryTeller Process or modify the version number.

b	Click OK or Cancel.

3	Open the StoryTeller Process in StoryTeller and modify the document or the version number.
