Connecting an Environment to Deployment Server

Overview

This document demonstrates how administrators can connect any Decisions Server (Development/QA/Production Environment) to a Deployment Server.

Connect to the Deployment Server

The following subsection explains how to connect Decisions with the Deployment server. After these settings are configured and saved, the Deployment server will be connected.

1. To connect to the Deployment server from the Decisions development environment, navigate to System > Settings > Deployment Server Connection Parameters. The Deployment Server Connection Parameters dialog box appears.
2. Under Deployment Server Address, paste the Deployment Server's Portal Base URL.
   Example: Ensure the URL includes the instance name "/Primary" at the end of the base URL ({PortalBaseUrl}/Primary). Refer to the following example screenshot: http://deployServer:[port#]/Primary.
3. Click SAVE SETTINGS. 
4. After saving the configuration, verify the connection by navigating to the project level and selecting the Check-in action. If the connection is successful, the Check-in dialog will appear, displaying all entities available for check-in.

Common Troubleshooting Points

1. Ensure the Deployment Server URL entered is correct in the Deployment Server Connection Parameters settings.
2. Ensure the Deployment Server is reachable and actively running. If the server is unreachable, please contact your IT administrator.
3. Ensure to use HTTPS in the URL in the Deployment Server Connection Parameters settings if the deployment server is configured with a secured connection.
