Copying resources for the Content Deployer endpoint in an upgrade scenario

Copy microservice resources to your target machine.

Procedure

  1. If you intend to run this microservice as a standalone microservice, do the following:
    1. Access your installation media and navigate to the folder Content Delivery\roles\.
    2. Navigate to the deployer\deployer\ subfolder.
    3. Copy the standalone\ folder, with all its files and subfolders, to your target machine, and rename it to a unique name of your choosing.
    4. From the deployer\deployer-combined\webapp\config\ folder, also copy cd_ambient_conf.xml to the configuration location of your microservice.
    5. Open cd_ambient_conf.xml and ensure that the OAuthEnabled attribute of the Security element is set to false, and that the Enabled attributes of the Rules element is also set to false.
  2. Alternatively, if you intend to run this microservice in a Java/JSP Web application (a setup that is deprecated and actively discouraged), do the following:
    1. Request its WAR file, plus a set of configuration files, from SDL Customer Support.
    2. When you receive the WAR file, unpack it to a location on your target machine from which your Java/JSP Web application server can deploy it.
    3. Copy the configuration files you received into the WEB-INF/classes/ folder of the unpacked Web application.
