Flow of items
In this use case, given the infrastructure and security framework the next step is deciding how you want items to flow from one Content Manager server to another.
In our example scenario, items flow in different directions for different reasons. Here are the various content flows:
- Developed structure and layout must be transferred (deployed) from the Development Server to the Test Server for testing.
- Components and Pages, as well as Folders and Structure Groups, must be transferred from the Production Server to the Test Server to be used in testing the developed structure and content.
- Once it has been given the green light by the test, developed structure and layout must be transferred from the Development Server to the Production Server.
The arrows in the diagram indicate the flow of items from one server to another:
