Eyestreet "Content Deploy" Tool

This is a java-based tool that will "deploy" or copy content from an Alfresco WCM repository source to another (target) location.

The target location can be local or remote and can be a file system or other CMS.

Target Configuration:
---------------------

I used ISDA-IST1 as the target machine for testing.

• unpacked the software into /usr/local, creating /usr/local/cd-1.00.13 (the content deploy home directory, aka $CDHOME).
• made the following changes in the files:

o set executable bits on three scripts in bin: cda, wrapper, and deploy
o set the location of the Java binary in bin/wrapper.conf:
wrapper.java.command=/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_11/bin/java
o configured the agent (aka listener) by modifying etc/cda.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<agent-config>
<admin bind-address="localhost" bind-port="21008" />
<server bind-address="18.92.0.199" bind-port="21009">
<permit host="18.92.1.223" key="">
<path location="/root/sturner/contentdeploy" />
</permit>
</server>
</agent-config>

This allows connections from 18.92.1.223 (isda-cs2) and allows deployment to /root/sturner/contentdeploy

• The agent/listener is started by typing:
  $CDHOME/bin/cda start

• The agent is stopped by:
  $CDHOME/bin/cda stop

Source Configuration:
---------------------

I used ISDA-CS2 as the source machine for testing.

• installed the software in /usr/local, as on the target machine

• tweaked the $CDHOME/bin/deploy script so that the location of the java binary was correct:
  JAVA_EXE=/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_11/bin/java

• moved the avm-remote context config from $CDHOME/conf/tests to $CDHOME/conf. I didn't make any changes to this config file, as I wanted to deploy from the local machine.

• created a deployment config file based on the Eyestreet samples under $CDHOME/conf. My file is $CDHOME/ist1-test.xml

Deploying content
-----------------

Finally, to deploy content, I issued these command:

cd $CDHOME/bin
./deploy ../conf/ist1-test.xml

This copies files from the satging sandbox of the "steveweb" web project on isda-cs2 into the file system on isda-ist1 under the directory /root/sturner/contentdeploy.
