• to hold the script environment for JS7 - Automated Installation and Update and for JS7 - Deployment Packaging,
• to hold the configuration files and optionally certificates for deployment of JS7 componentsproducts,
• to hold the JS7 installations per JS7 release and component product such as JOC Cockpit, Controller, Agent,
• to hold the archive of Deployment Packages per JS7 releases and target host,

...

• Deployment Packages are specified from a JS7 - Deployment Descriptor that holds the information which JS7 components products should be installed, on which hosts to install the components products and what configuration items should be used.
• Deployment Packages are created from a script available with JS7 - Deployment Packaging.
• Deployment Packages are transferred and extracted to target hosts. 

...

The Deployment Packaging script performs the following steps:

• install the JS7 components products according to the Deployment Descriptor
• create a deployment tarball of the installed files. A separate tarball for each home and data directories will be created.
• create a Rollout Script and Deployment Script that will transfer and extract the deployment tarball on the target host.

• js7.deploy
  • archive
    • standalone-agent-http-2022-12-04 (directory name created from the Deployment Descriptor ID)
      
      • agents (sub-directory for Agent deployments)
        • agent_001 (sub-directory for specific Agent identified by its Agent ID)
          • js7_deploy_agent_unix.agent_001.2.5.0.config.tar.gz (tarball of the Agent's configuration directory)
          • js7_deploy_agent_unix.agent_001.2.5.0.install.tar.gz (tarball of the Agent's installation directory)
          • run_deploy_agent.sh (Deployment Script for Agent)
          • run_install_agent.sh (Installer Wrapper Script for Agent)
          • run_rollout_agent.sh (Rollout Script for Agent)
      • js7_import.tar.gz (tarball for import into JS7 JOC Cockpit, includes workflow and schedule for automated deployment)
      • run_rollout.sh (Rollout Script for any JS7 componentsproduct, includes calls to agents/agent_001/run_rollout_agent.sh and similar scripts per JS7 componentproduct) 

Basically the run_rollout_agent.sh script can be used to transfer the Agent's tarballs for configuration and installation directories to the target host. In addition, the run_deploy_agent.sh script is transferred to the target host and is executed on that host to extract the tarballs of Agent installation and configuration directories.

• Use of the Rollout Script from the command line is applicable if a smaller number of JS7 components products should be installed and if no JS7 scheduling environment is yet available.
• If a JS7 scheduling environment is set up then it is preferable to import the js7_import.tar.gz tarball to JOC Cockpit that adds a workflow and schedule for parallel deployment of JS7 componentsproducts. For details see JS7 - Deployment Workflow.
