The deployment settings associate the Appeon Server(s) and Web server(s) as a group used for application deployment. In this tutorial, the deployment profile will associate Appeon Server Tutor and Web Server Tutor.
In this section, you will learn:
When adding the Appeon Server profile and Web server profile, you need to verify the connection to the Appeon Server and the Web server; therefore, you should start them before configuration. If you want to start Appeon Server installed to EAServer, WebLogic, WebSphere, JBoss, or JEUS, refer to Installation Guide for Appeon for PowerBuilder for detailed instructions. In this tutorial, IIS will be used as both the Appeon Server and the Web server. Therefore, you only need to start IIS. Refer to the following steps for how to start the IIS/Appeon Server.
Select Windows Start > Programs > Appeon for PowerBuilder 2016 > Appeon Server for .NET > IIS Manager.
Make sure that the Web Site where Appeon Server is installed is started, as shown in the following figure. If not, please select the name listed on the Web Site page and click Start on the Actions pane to start it. If it is started, the Start menu will be grayed out. The following figure indicates that Appeon Server and Web server are ready for use.
Each Appeon Server profile contains settings of an Appeon Server/application server used by the Appeon deployment.
To add the Appeon Server profile for the deployment of the tutorial application:
Step 1: Click the Add button in the Appeon Servers group box.
The Appeon Server Profile Configuration dialog box appears.
The following table lists instructions for how to specify the properties for an Appeon Server profile.
