Auto Deploy on FSR !!

[power]

Hey,

we are using alfresco enterprise 2.2

I want my contents would be submitted automatically instead we are doing manual deployment to  server.
Any configuration is there or we must have to write java code?  If yes then which class , I am exploring myself but could not find-out proper way.


Kindly suggest me good way to auto scheduled deployment. [ from staging to another servers] using  File System Receiver (FSR)

Thanks,

Configure a workflow for the project that contains the auto deploy flag either using the out of the box workflow or a custom workflow.  Make sure the workflow applies to the appropriate files (you will probably use the pattern matching option for this.)

Configure your deployers to participate in the auto deployment

Hi,

When you add your FSR to the web project, make sure you check the "auto deploy" option.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your reply,

Actually what that option usually used for?  If I checked that auto deploy option to TRUE.. what effect will I see ?
I mean how do I know my contents are deployed automatically.. ??

Or from where do I set timing parameters when to deploy automatically ???
still on way..  :?


Show me the way

Hi,

If you check that option, all content that is promoted to the Staging sandbox 9a snapshot) will automatically be deployed to the FSR(s).  If you do not check this option, you will have to deploy your snapshots manually, i.e. go to the staging sandbox and click the deploy option.  There is no option to deploy by time out of the box.

If the deploy is working you will see your promoted content (content promoted from a user sandbox into the staging sandbox) be sent to wherever the FSR resides e.g. a seperate physical machine.

Regards, Ben.

Hey,

I'm wondering about the same thing.

1. Do you need a workflow?
2. I have checked the auto-deploy button but it doesn't seem to do it. I have the deployment server running and manually deploying is working just fine…

Make sure you use "auto deploy" option in your setting.

See the wiki for more information: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WCM_Deployment_Features#Auto_Deploy

It seems you need a workflow configured in order to use the auto-deploy feature. Seems a little silly.
