Using the deployment engine / standalone deployment receiver

mrgeometro — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 19:34:36 GMT

Hello,I'm relatively new to Alfresco, and seemingly unable to find valid instructions on how to deploy content from Alfresco to a target machine. I actually got this working in Alfresco 3.4 using the standalone deployment receiver and configuring the deployment receiver on the "web project." However

WCM Deployment Engine, File System Deployment Target, File System Transfer Receiver are all to do with AVM. As you have seen its deprecated in 4.0.

Its still available, maintained and working in 4.X but to see "web projects" you need to "bootstrap" AVM. That's always been the case.

WQS is something different.

AVM is deprecated; I don't want to use it but I'm still stuck trying to figure out what actually can be used and learning how to use it.

What are the proper tools to use for deployment (like the standalone deployment receiver in 3.4) under 4.2? Is it possible to do the same thing I did before using the "File System Transfer Receiver?" If so, where the heck do I configure the content to get it moving out to my servers again?

Thanks,

Chris

Ok, I'm past my original questions! I'm trying to set up the FSTR and I found a great set of instructions (in a bug report here: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-10571 and a tutorial here: http://basanagowdapatil.blogspot.com/2012/03/fstr.html).

When I try to set up my transfer target the "select…" modal comes up but alfresco errors out. It looks like I've missed something simple in the transfer group setup. Do you have a suggestion here? I feel like I followed the instructions:

The error instead of a list of transfer targets is:
