Installation
OpenDeploy (OD) has 3 software components, each of which must be installed on the
appropriate server. Here are the components:
- Base server software - this is the software which controls the management of
deployments on the source server. This software permits the OpenDeploy server to
send and receive deployed files. - Receiver software - this is the software that must be installed on each server
designated only for receiving deployed files. Servers with the base server software
installed do not need the receiver software. - Administration software package - Combine software with the reporting server (software for managing the storage and publication of event-based reports) and ContentServices Foundation (CSF) access service(software for authenticating individuals who will access OpenDeploy base servers or receivers through the
browser-based user interface or web services)
- Install the base server software (see PDF link under "Further reading" section below for instructions) on the server. Accept all default values.
- Reboot the server.
- Install the administration software package. Accept all default values.Then reboot the server again.
- Ensure that the 3 OpenDeploy services are running, i.e. Interwoven "OpenDeploy service", "OpenDeploy SNMP" and "OpenDeploy UI Admin".
- Open internet browser and login to the UI admin webpage at http://
:8081/iw/opendeploy/login - Login using the bootstrap user account (usually the administrator) that was created during the administration installation. **
- Add appropriate users who will need access to OpenDeploy admin UI.
- Install the receiver software on the destination server that will receive the deployment.
- Obtain a license key by sending a request email to Interwoven support (see "How to obtain a license key" for more details)
**Note: If you are having problem logging into OD admin UI, with message saying something like "invalid user and/or password", then check deploy.cfg and look that the bootstrap user and domain name are correct. If not, you can edit/add another valid user from AD/LDAP. Save the deploy.cfg if there are any changes and restart all the 3 OD services.
How to obtain a license
Obtain a batch license activation for OpenDeploy base and receiver servers, i.e. an individual base server license key and receiver licensing. Licensing for OpenDeploy Administration is not required.
- Base Server license: You can license your OpenDeploy base server software to operate as one of the following options,i.e. i)full feature version with no time limit; or ii)EasyDeploy, a restricted feature version with no time limit. So tell Interwoven Support which license option you want.
- Receiver License: You must license and activate each OpenDeploy receiver installation. An expired
receiver will only accept incoming license deployments.
