Chapter 5 Managing Registrations 141
If at some point you have to move an engine unit to a new node, you do not have to
manually re-register (reinstall) all the libraries on the new node. When an engine
unit first comes on line, if the registered libraries are not currently installed on the
host node, iPlanet UDS automatically installs them. This operation, however,
might take some time.
Registration in Production Environments
At a production site removed from a development environment, registration can
only be performed using iIS process management tools. In a production
environment it is more likely that registrations will be batched, rather than
performed one at a time as in a development environment. It is also more likely
that library distributions will be registered with a number of engines, rather than a
single test engine.
Before performing registrations in such situations, however, you have to first
transfer iIS library distributions to the production environment. Use the following
steps:
➤To transfer iIS library distributions to a production environment
1. Make sure that developers have generated all relevant iIS library distributions
using either the File > Distribute command in the process development
workshops or the MakeConductorDistribution Conductor Script command.
2. Copy the iIS library distributions located on the central server node in the
development environment to your distribution medium.
The distributions are found in the following directory:
FORTE_ROOT/appdist/environment_ID/distribution_ID
where, environment_ID is the name of the active iPlanet UDS development
environment. Copy the contents of the distribution_ID directory and the
required cl# directory structure beneath it. For information on the structure of
library distributions, see the iPlanet UDS System Management Guide.
3. Transfer the iIS library distributions from your distribution medium to the
central server node in the production environment.
The distributions should be placed in the
FORTE_ROOT/appdist/environment_ID/
directory, where, environment_ID is the name of the active iPlanet UDS
production environment.
