tcman deploy and deployREST

Posted by Irfan on 02-Apr-2017 00:39

Hi Mareek,

deployREST is only to deploy "paar" files and tcman deploy is to deploy the WebApp Application.(war) files. deploysvc.bat|sh can be used for incremental deployment of REST Services.

Hi Irfan,

So, for incremental deployment (paar files) I must use deployREST or I can also use tcman?

Regards,

Marek

Marekk,

tcman only deploy's war files, so if you just have paar files then you have to use deployREST

Hi,

Not any direct answer but considering .war deploy vs .paar incremental deployment. Deploying a .war file into a web application always required the PASOE instance restart to get the full process completed (part of OE documentation). Can't find similar comment about incremental deployment but I'm assuming there is similar PASOE restart required. Does it ?

Under which circumstances you/Progress will recommend using incremental vs .war file ?

Hello Denis,

Incremental publish don’t require any restart of the server.

In case of WAR file deployment, we need to restart the server to update the Web Application (.war) context in the server. In case of Incremental deployment, we will publish the services (.PAAR) to already deployed Web Application, that’s why restarting of server is not required.

Hope this helps,

Sanjeev.

Thanks Sanjeev.

What about is .paar file is about updating an existing service eg upd procedure, class or even parameter/mapping changes ?

Can we trully consider that any .paar file updating a web app is really incremental and does eg reload/refresh all ABL classes into memory so that it can be always done online and safely ?

Hi Denis,

Please find my are my answers inline:

[Sanjeev]: .PAAR file have information regarding parameter changes and also mapping details. If we update the service, .PAAR file needs to be updated.

Can we trully consider that any .paar file updating a web app is really incremental and does eg reload/refresh all ABL classes into memory so that it can be always done online and safely ?

[Sanjeev]: Yes, .PAAR file updating a WebApp is truly incremental. If we change something in ABL classes, these are reloaded in memory as part of incremental publish. Actually as part of incremental publish, existing PAS OE sessions gets trimmed and new sessions will be spawned upon any request for a resource.
