Automated project deployment feature

You can copy the data sources, data types, policies, and services in a project between two running server clusters on a network using the automated project deployment feature.

You can use this feature when moving projects from test environments into real-world production scenarios.

When you copy data sources and types, policies, and services between clusters, you have the option of specifying a version control checkpoint label for the revisions of the items that you copy to the target server cluster. Two checkpoint labels are used for this process. The first is the label that you specify, which is applied to the copied versions of the project components. The second is the specified label with the string _AFTER_DEPLOYMENT appended. This label is applied to subsequent changes to the project components made using the GUI or CLI.

Revision checkpointing is supported only if you are using SVN and CVS version control system for Netcool®/Impact.

To automatically deploy project, use one of the following options:

• Run the built-in DeployProject policy using the GUI. The DeployProject policy is a built-in policy that copies all the data sources, data types, policies, and services in a project between two running server clusters.
• Create and run a custom deployment policy that uses the Deploy function. See the Policy Reference Guide for more information.
