Redeploying a Design Center Project

Every time you update a Design Center Project, you must export the Project and redeploy the Project export file to the StreamServer application.

Identifying differences between a new export file and a deployed export file

Before you make an export, you can compare the export file you want to deploy with the export file that is already deployed to the application. Comparing the export files helps you to see the impact of deploying the new file, for example, you can see if scripts, fonts or other resources have been changed.

When you compare export files, a comparison report is displayed, which shows the following:

•	Files that have been added to the new export file

•	Files that exist in the deployed export file but not in the new export file

•	Files that exist in both export files but with differences

Note:

Changes made to the files in working directly after you deployed the export file are not identified. When you use this feature, it only identifies differences between the export file that was last deployed to the application and the selected export file.

You can compare export files during the deploy process by using the Compare export packages on deploy option in the Deploy wizard. You can also compare the export files at any time, see Comparing an export file with the deployed export file.

Modified document types and StoryTeller Processes

If the Project includes modified document types or modified StoryTeller Processes used as templates in Composition Center, you may not be allowed to redeploy the Project.

If an update results in an increased StoryTeller template version number, the corresponding document definition is automatically unpublished.

Updates in Message storages and Post-processing storages

If the Project includes paused Messages in Message storages, the type of Project modification decides whether the updates are applied to these Messages at redeploy. For more information, see Modifying the Design Center Project in Ad Hoc Correspondence and Correspondence Reviewer User Guide.

If the Project includes documents in Post-processing storages, any updates are applied to these documents at redeploy.

You can examine Message and Post-processing storages using Database Administration Tool. If required, you can also empty and drop the storages. You can launch this tool directly from Control Center by right-clicking the application domain and selecting Launch Database Administration Tool.

All or nothing is deployed

If the redeployment for some reason fails, none of the Project updates are deployed. The export file used before the failed redeployment remains on the StreamServe application. For example, if a Project contains several updated document types and all changes except one are accepted for redeployment, none of the updates are deployed.
