Configuring Auto-Deploy

Configure Auto-Deploy to distribute Client installations to client machines.

To configure Auto-Deploy:

  1. Open Auto-Deploy:
    Important: Due to commonly used components in Auto-Deploy technologies, an error may appear cautioning against running the Auto-Deploy application. An error may also appear depending on your Operating System and anti-virus settings. If the error appears, select Run Anyway.
    • If Cherwell Application Server is installed: select Windows Start > All Programs > Cherwell Service Management > Tools > Auto-Deploy Config.
    • If Cherwell Browser is installed: select Windows Start > All Programs > Cherwell Browser Apps > Auto-Deploy Config.
  2. Optional: Configure the client connection if this is a first-time installation.
  3. Select the Ellipses button to select an existing client connection if this is not a first-time installation. The Database Manager window opens.
  4. Select an existing connection.
    Note: Do not use the connections created for the Cherwell Servers or Browser Applications because these are direct-to-database connections. Connect to the Cherwell Application Server.
  5. Select OK.
