Deploying the StreamStudio portal

The StreamStudio web portal is a Java application and must be deployed to a Java application server. The Java application server executes distributed application code, such as Java beans and servlets.

Deployment in Control Center

You deploy the web application archive (WAR) files for the StreamStudio web portal in Control Center. For detailed information, see Deploying a web application in OpenText StreamServe Control Center User Guide.

The following WAR file is deployed when you add a StreamStudio application called <Name> in Control Center:

WAR file	Application
<Name>.war	StreamStudio

Multiple application domains

You can link one StreamStudio web portal to one or several application domains. Each application domain can be linked to one single StreamStudio web portal.

Service gateway in application domain configuration file

StreamStudio uses web services, hosted by a service gateway, to access the user directories, the runtime repository, and the Collector archive. The service gateway is defined in the application domain configuration file.

When you link the StreamStudio application to the application domain, the application domain configuration file is copied to the following directory:

<TOMCAT_HOME>\webapps\<Name>\domains

If you update the application domain configuration, the application domain configuration file is automatically updated in the \domains folder in the portal root or manual deploy path.

Note:

Updated files in the manual deploy path must be manually copied to the Java application server.

Keeping customized configuration files

If you redeploy the WAR files, for example to apply a hotfix, any customizations that you have made to the configuration files are overwritten.

To keep customizations, you can use an external directory outside the portal root for the property files. For more information, see Keeping customized configuration files in OpenText StreamServe Control Center User Guide.
