Deploying components

For production deployment, you must copy component definitions and implementation files from your test server to the production server, or deploy directly from your IDE another project-based tool. There are several ways to deploy:

Using PowerBuilder

PowerBuilder NVO components can be deployed directly to EAServer from the PowerBuilder IDE, using the Project Painter. See the PowerBuilder Application Techniques manual or online help for more information.

Using jagtool and jagant

jagtool is a command line interface that allows you to automate EAServer development and deployment tasks. jagant allows you to run the same tasks from Jakarta Ant build scripts. For more information, see Chapter 12, “Using jagtool and jagant,” in the EAServer System Administration Guide.

Using the Synchronize feature

EAServer Manager’s Synchronize feature allows you to replicate packages, components, connection cache definitions, and other configuration information from one server to another. Though this feature is intended primarily for synchronizing servers within a cluster, it is a convenient and quick way to replicate the server-side of your application from one server to another. Chapter 6, “Clusters and Synchronization,” in the EAServer System Administration Guide describes this feature in detail.
