Deploying a company using the Java APIs

To deploy a company, you can use the Java™ APIs to export your company data model from a source instance of IBM® Product Master and import it into a target instance.

Before you begin

Before you can deploy a company using the Java APIs, you must:

Ensure that a company is designed, and the data model exists.
Ensure that a target instance of Product Master exists as the target of your company deployment.
Ensure that you create a system backup of the target instance before you start the import if you deploy a company between multiple production instances of Product Master.
Ensure that your Product Master is configured for the deployment process. To configure the Product Master, you must:
- Ensure that you have the following memory configuration for the scheduler service in the .bashrc file:
```
export SCHEDULER_MEMORY_FLAG="-Xmx1024m -Xms48m" 
```
- Ensure that a compressed file of 200 MB or larger can be deployed into the target instance.
- Ensure that you have the following browser timeout setting in the common.properties file:
```
max_inactive_interval=36000
```

Procedure

Write your code to use the Java APIs provided for this feature.

See IBM® Javadoc Documentation to view all the available information about the parameters, returns, exceptions, and syntax for the deployment of a company.

What to do next

You must log in to the target system and confirm that your data model is imported correctly. View Limitations for importing a company for details on objects, ensure that are imported.
