Metadata

Each Deployment is described with the following fields:

• type: Deployment type (or subtype)
• name: a symbolic name for the deployment
• installroot: Installation directory
• basedir: Base directory

Project XML

A Deployment can be registered in XML using the project.xml format. Here is an example.

File listing: deployment.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE project PUBLIC "-//ControlTier Software Inc.//DTD Project Document 1.0//EN" 
    "project.dtd">
<project>
  <!--
      **
      ** Define the Deployment 
      **
  -->
  <deployment 
      type="Deployment"
      name="deployment1" 
      description="A fictitious deployment." 
      installRoot="/opt/deployment/installroot" 
      basedir="/opt/deployment/basedir">

  </deployment>
</project>

You can load this XML file using the ProjectBuilder load-objects command like so:

ctl -p project -m ProjectBuilder -c load-objects -- -filename deployment.xml

Querying

Use the ProjectBuilder find-objects command to list all "Deployment" instances:

 $ ctl -p demo -m ProjectBuilder -c find-objects -- -type Deployment
