Deploying a new version of the Project

To make sure that Project modifications are not applied to any paused Messages in the Message storage, you can create a new, modified version of the Project and deploy this version to a separate StreamServer application in the application domain. For example, if you update a text in the StoryTeller document, but want already paused Messages to be completed with the original text.

You can then preview and release already paused Messages based on the original Project version, and at the same time create new documents based on the updated Project version.

To deploy a new version of the Project

See Deploying a new version of the Project in the Composition Center documentation.

Consequences for new documents

The Project modifications are applied to all future documents.

When increasing the Project version, the versions of all included StoryTeller templates are also increased. After starting the new StreamServer application, all document definitions based on these templates are automatically unpublished.

When the business user republishes a document definition, the document definition is tied to the StreamServer application that runs the latest Project version. This StreamServer application is the only one that can create new documents based on the document definition.

Note:

No new documents can be created via the StreamServer application that runs the original Project version.

Note:

If both the original and the new StreamServer applications scan the same folder for input data, we recommend that you disable the input connectors for the original StreamServer application. For more information, see the Control Center documentation.

Consequences for already paused Messages

As long as the StreamServer application that originally created a paused Message is running, you can preview and release the Message using the original document definition based on the original StoryTeller template. No changes to the Project are reflected in the output.

Note:

Because the Message uses the original document definition, it can be previewed and released before the document definition is republished.
