Infrastructure overview
The infrastructure panel defines target servers that the MidVision application can communicate with. You configure a display name used throughout the GUI, a target hostname/DNS or IP address, the transport mechanism (Ssh or Remote agent).
- You must also specify a temporary location copy deployable artifacts to at deployment time.
- The transport panel is where you configure one or more transports used to connect to the target.
- You can specify environment variables to set for use by the deployment process on this target server.
- You may specify the location of the Java runtime that is installed on the target server.
- You may also use these panels to deploy a version of Java to the target server and thereafter manage it, if you so decide.
Server objects can be created in one of the following ways:
- Manually through the UI, Web Service or command line
- By importing a set of configuration files which include a server display name that does not already exist
- By cloning an existing target to a new target where the server name for that target does not already exist
There is an option to delete server configuration from Manage Servers panel however what is worth to know is that deleting server from there does not mean that all the targets pointing to this server will be deleted as well. The project may still keep the reference to the server and if it is necessary you can always perform "Discover" option on Project and recreate Server and Installation object. In order to remove the server definitely you need to remove from projects all the targets that point to this server first.
