The deployment settings associate the PowerServer(s) and Web server(s) as a group used for application deployment. In this tutorial, the deployment profile will associate PowerServerTutor and WebServerTutor.
In this section, you will learn:
When adding the PowerServer profile and Web server profile, you need to verify the connection to the PowerServer and the Web server; therefore, you should start them before configuration. If you want to start PowerServer installed to WebLogic, WebSphere, JBoss, or JEUS, refer to Installation Guide for Appeon PowerServer for detailed instructions. In this tutorial, IIS will be used as both the PowerServer and the Web server. Therefore, you only need to start IIS. Refer to the following steps for how to start the IIS/PowerServer.
Select Windows Start > Programs > Appeon > PowerBuilder 2019 >PowerServer > IIS Manager.
Make sure that the Web Site where PowerServer 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 PowerServer and Web server are ready for use.
Each PowerServer profile contains settings of a PowerServer/application server used by the Appeon deployment.
To add the PowerServer profile for the deployment of the tutorial application:
Step 1: Click the Add button in the PowerServer group box.
The PowerServer Profile Configuration dialog box appears.
The following table lists instructions for how to specify the properties for a PowerServer profile.
