Hi Matteo


Hi Giancarlo, nice to hear you :-)

In larger projects we typically "separate" Dev Servers, Test Servers and Production Servers.

I want to separate them too...
We are going to implement this architecture:

DEV author --> DEV public (one machine)

TEST author --> TEST public (two machines)

PROD author --> PROD public 1 + PROD public 2 (three machines)

One option is to use the Packager Tool. However, you can also "Export" the config tree. The third option is to create a simple module and use the "Version Handler" to update the hierarchy. Within servers (e.g. within the "Test Server") you can use activation. However, this only works for "Repository Content" (e.g. Code and Resource files are not included).

For resource file we deploy jars on all servers..

We also follow Rubens "Instance Chain", because each and every change has to be tested prior to go to production. If you use "activation", be aware that you might have multiple subscribers, so you have to enable/disable them for special kind of activations.

This can be a problem, of course.. I've not even understood how can I achieve to separate activations.

How can I do to activate <data> content over SUBSCRIBER1 + SUBSCRIBER2 but I need to activate <website> content ONLY over SUBSCRIBER2? How can I differenciates them? I've tried to use subscriptions, but I've seen that for some reasons I receive "Not EE subscriber" error, when I try to activate content over another author instance..

That's why we in most cases have "physical" replication, by exporting a hierarchy or creating packages. Packages are very useful, because you can also restore them and you can include files as well.

Yes, I think for Major Deploy packager can be useful.
You say files... but how can I export files? If I choose "files" an empty tree is open on button click..

Cheers
Giancarlo

Thanks a lot, Giancarlo..

Matteo
