Introduction

For JS7 - Automated Deployment use of a Deployment Area is recommended.

The Deployment Area is used for the following purposes:

• to hold the script environment for JS7 - Automated Installation and Update and the JS7 - Deployment Packaging Script,
• to hold the configuration files and certificates for deployment of JS7 components,
• to hold the JS7 installations per JS7 release and component such as JOC Cockpit, Controller, Agent,
• to hold the archive of deployment packages per JS7 releases and target machine,
• to operate a JS7 Agent that is used to perform the JS7 - Deployment Workflow.

Getting Started

A tarball for the directories and scripts of the Deployment Area is provided:

Download tarball: 

Extract the Deployment Area tarball to an arbitrary directory. The tarball includes the top-level directory js7.deploy, therefore the following command will extract to $HOME/js7.deploy.

cd $HOME
tar -xzf js7.deploy.tar.gz

After extraction you find the following directory layout:

• js7.deploy
  • archive (empty, holds the resulting Deployment Packages)
  • bin (Scripts)
  • ca (Certificate Authority)
  • config (holds configuration tepmlates)
  • desc (holds JS7 - Deployment Descriptor Examples for Controller)
  • work
