Using The Simple File Deployment Service; Setting Up The Simple File Deployment Service - MACROMEDIA CONTRIBUTE 3-CONTRIBUTE PUBLISHING SERVER Manual

Using the Simple File Deployment service

Contribute Publishing Server (CPS) provides an extensible framework for a Simple File
Deployment service that you can modify to meet your needs for moving files from a staging or
testing server to a live server.
You can use the compiled version of this service as is, but it is intended to be a starting point for
you to extend the functionality for your specific needs. You can extend the uncompiled version of
the service.
Note: For information about extending the service, see
Deployment service" on page
Whether you extend the service or decide to use it as is, you should complete the set-up tasks
before you start using the service.

Setting up the Simple File Deployment service

Before you use the Simple File Deployment service, you need to complete some set-up tasks.
Note: If you extended the service, you might not need to complete all the set-up steps, but you should
review the set-up procedure to make sure you complete any necessary steps for your
implementation.
After you complete the set-up tasks, you can start using the service to move files from your staging
server to your live server.
To set up the Simple File Deployment service:
Open the settings.xml file, which is located in the following directory:
1.
C:/Program Files/Macromedia/Contribute Publishing Server/jrun4/servers/
contribute-wps/contribute/customservices/filedeployer
Note: If you plan to extend the service, open the settings.xml file for the uncompiled version of the
code in C:/Program Files/Macromedia/Contribute Publishing Server/jrun4/servers/contribute-
wps/contribute/customservices_code/filedeployer.
In the settings.xml file, add the URI (web addresses) and FileSystemPath for the staging and
2.
live servers for each website you want to use this service, and then save and close the file.
Note: The staging server URI must match the web address (URL) of a website you've connected
to in Contribute for the event notifications to work properly between Contribute and the Simple
File Deployment service.
For example:
<SiteList>
<Site>
<Staging>
<URI>http://contribute-staging/teamwebsite</URI>
<FileSystemPath>c:\\contributestaging\teamwebsite</FileSystemPath>
</Staging>
<Live>
<URI>http://contribute.macromedia.com/teamwebsite</URI>
<FileSystemPath>\\contribute\teamwebsite</FileSystemPath>
