Introduction

In the JS7 - Deployment process a Deployment Descriptor specifies

• which JS7 components of JOC Cockpit, Controller instances and Agents should be installed,
• where to install each JS7 component,
• which installation options to use, for example the installation directory,
• which configuration options to use, for example port usage.

Deployment Descriptors are specified from files in JSON format and include instructions, for example to deploy a larger number of Agents on target hosts.

The Deployment Descriptor Schema is used to validate Deployment Descriptors. Validation proves that the descriptor is formally valid and includes the elements require for successful deployment.

Deployment Descriptor

Deployment Descriptors are specified from .json files.

• Users are strongly encouraged to validate their .json files against the Deployment Descriptor Schema.
  • A number of JSON validators are available online and for use with the command line, for example see http://json-schema.org/implementations.html
• A Deployment Descriptor can include Agents, Controllers and JOC Cockpit instances individually or as a combination.
