Resources – File ServerResources – File Server

Share point for application deployment

Unpackages application component cabinet files

Captures information about RM, App, Gateway servers

Delivery of software artifacts for different layers

10

Resources – Web ServerResources – Web Server

Resource for the presentation layer / user services Accepts http/https requests and responds to web

browsers Generates and parses a business document in

XML standard XML document contains following segments

Context info Biz object info – Service info Error info

Authenticates user access based on roles

11

Resources – Gateway ServerResources – Gateway Server

Represents the gateway layer Contains routing information for application

server(s) Routes documents from web server to application

server Routes documents based on service information

12

Resources – Application ServerResources – Application Server

Represents the middle-tier / application layer

Implements part of business logic in terms of services / integration services

Receives & sends documents to gateway server

Invokes services based on information in the transaction document

Transactions taken care by associated technology for application layer eg. MTS of Windows DNA

This eliminates the development overhead of managing transactions

13

Resources – Resource ManagerResources – Resource Manager

Represents the data layer Contains application data and provides data

services Implements business logic as Stored Procedures Sends results back to application server Native databases supported :

Microsoft Windows DNA - MS SQL SERVER7.0 J2EE – ORACLE / DB2

14

PackagingPackaging

Packaging is integrated with Visual SourceSafe (VSS)

Deliverables ported to predefined structure in VSS Application packages can be build using the tool

LaunchPad. Each component is packaged as a cabinet file

onto a CD

Steps for component deploymentSteps for component deployment

Tools provided by the RVW framework for Deployment :

RSSETUP.EXE – Unpackages components DEPLOYMENT SETUP WIZARD – Captures

deployment information DEPLOY.EXE – Deploys component artifacts across

the various layers RVW ADMIN CONSOLE – Generates Router Files and

Resource Maps (to install Application Components).

The deployment steps listed above are the same for RunTime components and Deployment Workbench Application components

18

Deployment ProcessDeployment Process

Click the RSSetup.exe in the Deployment CD.

RSSetup.exe finishes extracting the setup files in the local machine in the folder “c:\program files\Active Marshal”

In the “c:\program files\Active Marshal\ADS” folder Depwiz.exe will be available.

Double click the Depwiz.exe (Deployment Setup Wizard), which fetches the resource names.

Click the RSSetup.exe in the Deployment CD.

RSSetup.exe finishes extracting the setup files in the local machine in the folder “c:\program files\Active Marshal”

In the “c:\program files\Active Marshal\ADS” folder RVWDAC.exe will be available.

Double click the RVWDAC.exe and the Resource Mapping has to done using that.
