Configure and run the toolkit deployment process
After you create the deployment package, you can deploy it to the development environment using additional Ant scripts provided as part of the WebSphere Commerce Build and Deployment tool.
High-level toolkit deployment process flow
The following diagram illustrates the high-level server deployment process flow:
- If set to run, perform common SQL dataload.
- If set to run, perform common XML dataload. This result is identical to running the idresgen tool, then running the massload tool.
- If set to run, perform common ACUG dataload. This result is identical to running the acugload tool.
- If set to run, perform common ACP dataload. This result is identical to running the acpload tool.
- If set to run, perform common ACP (NLS) dataload. This result is identical to running the acpnlsload tool.
- If set to run, perform target-specific SQL dataload.
- If set to run, perform target-specific XML dataload. This result is identical to running the idresgen tool, then running the massload tool.
- If set to run, perform target-specific ACUG dataload. This result is identical to running the acugload tool.
- If set to run, perform target-specific ACP dataload. This result is identical to running the acpload tool.
- If set to run, perform target-specific ACP (NLS) dataload. This result is identical to running the acpnlsload tool.
- For each connector project (module) set to include, copy to the workspace and import/refresh.
- For the dataload project (module) set to include, copy to the workspace and import/refresh.
- For the WebSphere Commerce EAR project (module), copy assets to the workspace and import/refresh. EAR properties and XML files will be copied to the properties and xml directories in the WebSphere Commerce Developer installation directory.
- For each EJB project (module) set to include, copy to the workspace, import/refresh, and deploy.
- For each Java utility project (module) set to include, copy to the workspace and import/refresh.
- For the static Web project (module), copy to the workspace and import/refresh.
- For each Web project (module) set to include, copy to the workspace and import/refresh.
- Install the toolkit deployment package
Once you generate the toolkit deployment package using the WebSphere Commerce Build and Deployment tool, you perform the steps in this task to install the package on the WebSphere Commerce development environment.
- File structure of the toolkit deployment directory
The toolkit deployment directory has a specific structure used by the WebSphere Commerce Build and Deployment tool. This page describes the structure and how it is used by the Build and Deployment tool.
- Configure the toolkit deployment settings
Configure the toolkit deployment settings before running the toolkit deployment script. These settings consist of important information like software installation paths and key information about the WebSphere Commerce development environment.
- Run the toolkit deployment process
Now that you have generated the deployment package and configured the deployment settings, you can run the toolkit deployment process on you WebSphere Commerce server. Ensure that you backup any important assets in the development environment before proceeding with this task.
