Fields and buttons on the Deployment tab

On the Deployment tab of a workspace, you can create deployment configurations for workspaces, map data source connectors within the deployment configuration, deploy the configurations, stop and restart deployments, and view deployment history.

Table 1. Fields and buttons on the Deployment tab
Field or button Description

Add icon
Add button
Click to open a panel where you can create a deployment configuration.
Save icon

Save button

Click to save a deployment configuration.
Delete component icon

Delete button

Click to delete the selected deployment configuration.
Deploy icon

Deploy button

Click to deploy the selected deployment configuration.
Start deployment icon

Start button

Click to re-start a deployment that has been stopped.
Stop deployment icon

Stop button

Click to stop a running deployment.
Update logging level icon

Update logging level

Click to update the logging level during a run.

Raising the log level can affect performance.

Status Indicates whether all data sources are mapped for the deployment configuration. You can not deploy an incomplete deployment configuration.
Deployment Configuration Names of the available deployment configurations. Select the radio button next to a name to select the deployment configuration, after which you can deploy it, run it, or modify its properties in the panel that opens.
Server Group Name of the server group the selected deployment uses.
Deployed Indicates whether the selected configuration has been deployed.
Version For batch runs, this number shows the version number of the most recent successful deployment.

When Opportunity Detect is integrated with Interact, the number shows the version most recently deployed, re-deployed, or undeployed from HCL® Interact.

Input mode

The input mode selected on the Properties tab of the deployment configuration.

Input version

The input version entered on the Properties tab of the deployment configuration.

Output version

The output version entered on the Properties tab of the deployment configuration.

Workspace modified on Timestamp of the most recent workspace modification. By comparing this timestamp to the timestamp in the Deployed On column, you can determine whether the latest version of the workspace is deployed.
Deployed On Timestamp of the most recent successful deployment of the selected deployment configuration.
Properties tab
Name Enter a name for the deployment configuration. Deployment configuration names must be unique across all workspaces.
Server Group Select from a list of available server groups.
Usage The usage entered in the definition of the selected server group.
Input mode Select the mode that matches the type of data source connector you are using for transaction data sources in the deployment.

The option selected in this field governs the validation rules applied on Deployment tab.

Input file directory Applies only when Input mode is Real time file.

The directory in which real time files are placed for processing. In a distributed environment, the input and processed directories must be on the Runtime server and Streamsadmin user Read and Write permission.

Processed file directory Applies only when Input mode is Real time file.

The directory in which real time files are placed after they are processed.

Input version

If this is the first time you are deploying, enter 1. Increment this number each time you make any changes in the structure of your transaction data and redeploy.

If you are using queue connectors, this number must also be updated in the sending program for transaction data.

Output version

If this is the first time you are deploying, enter 1. Increment this number each time you make any changes in the structure of your Outcome data and redeploy.

Script file name (Optional) If you use a notification batch file, enter the file name here.
Data Source Mapping tab
Status Indicates whether a data source is mapped to a connector.
Data Source Data sources used in the workspace are listed here. Click a link to view the Data Source Connector Mapping dialog box.

You can retain the default mapping used in the server group selected on the Properties tab, or you can deselect the Server Group Default check box to change the mapping.

Type Lists the configured data source type: Transaction, State, or Outcome.
Connector Lists the connector used with the data source for this deployment configuration.
Connector Type Lists the connector type of the data source: Table, Batch file, Real time file, TCP, Web Service Connector, Queue, or Expanded Outcome.
  • The Table connector is used for State History tables, for profile data stored in database tables, and for Outcome data where the XML format used by earlier versions of Opportunity Detect is desired.
  • The Batch file connector is used for profile and transaction data in flat file format.
  • The Real time file connector is used for transaction data in fixed width file format.
  • The TCP connector is used only for Interact Advanced Patterns, which is integrated with Interact.
  • The Web Service connector can be used for transaction data and Outcomes. Special configuration is needed to use the Web Service connector. For more information, see the HCL Opportunity Detect Administrator's Guide.
  • The Queue connector can be used for transaction data and Outcomes. Special configuration is needed to use the Queue connector. For more information, see the HCL Opportunity Detect Administrator's Guide.
  • The Expanded Outcome connector is used for Outcome data sources when the output needs to be stored in database tables structured differently from the format used in the Table connector. Use this connector for integration with HCL Campaign.
Database Lists the database configured for the data sources that use a Table connector.
Default Indicates whether the data source uses the default mappings for the server group selected on the Properties tab.
Data Source Connector Mapping window
Data Source Name Name of the selected data source.
Connector Type Available connector types. The connector types that are available are determined by the type of the data source and the input mode.
Table Type For Outcome data sources, when the connector type is Table, you can select either Outcome or Expanded Outcome for the table type.
Connector Data source connectors available for mapping.
Database Connection For Table type connectors, the database connections available for mapping.
Server Group Default Indicates whether the mapping is the one defined in the server group. Deselect this box if you want to change the data source connector mapping.
History tab
From Date, To Date, Get History button Select a date range and click Get History to see details for the successful deployments of the selected deployment configuration.
Status For batch mode, indicates whether the version of the selected deployment configuration was successfully deployed.

When Opportunity Detect is integrated with Interact, Undeploy and Redeploy are additional actions for which success or failure can be indicated.

Version The number of the deployment for which the row provides details. Includes successful and failed deployments.
Action For stand-alone Opportunity Detect, the only action is Deploy.

When Opportunity Detect is integrated with Interact, Undeploy and Redeploy are additional actions.

Date Timestamp of completion of the listed action.
Input mode

The input mode selected on the Properties tab of the deployment configuration.

Input version

The input version entered on the Properties tab of the deployment configuration.

Output version

The output version entered on the Properties tab of the deployment configuration.

Message Additional details for the listed action, including the deployment configuration ID, which is automatically generated when deployment takes place.
