Specifying deployment settings

You can collect a resource definition from one database and deploy the resource collection to a different database. For example, you may have a development database that you use locally for unit test; however, at runtime, the resource collection should access a different database entirely.

1. Click the Deployment tab.

2. Click one of the following radio buttons (SQL or LDAP) to choose a run-time environment. The deployment settings for SQL and LDAP are only used to indicate the run-time database configuration and have no effect on your authoring environment.

3. Type a DataSource name. A DataSource is used to get a connection from the Application Server's connection pool.

   The fields are populated with the settings you made on the Database Connection page. These settings can remain the same unless your deployment database is different from your connection database. If your deployment database is different, change the values in the fields as appropriate.

4. You can test your connection by clicking Test Connection.

5. When you have completed all the tabs, click Next. The Next button will not be clickable if the system requires you to make another specification. If that is the case, a red circle with an 'X' will also appear near the top of the Personalization Resource Wizard window. Beside the red circle you will see a description of what step you need to take (for example: "A primary key must be selected from table x" ).
