Configuring Auto-Deploy

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

To configure Auto-Deploy:

  1. Open Auto-Deploy:

    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.

    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.
  6. Provide the Auto Deploy Site URL.
  7. Select the Ellipses button to select a Target folder. The Target folder is a directory location on the server that specifies where the install files are stored.
  8. Select desired check boxes to configure additional options:
    • Overwrite Client Connection
    • Make Connection Be Default
    • Require Users to Install Minor Releases
    • Connect Without Prompting
    • Display Debug Messages
  9. Select OK to close the Auto-Deploy Configuration window.
