Deploying repository items to the MDM Server

You must always deploy your repository items to the MDM Server for any changes you make to be taken into account at runtime.

You have a choice of how you deploy items to the MDM Server.

• You can click the Update Server button in the repository icon bar to deploy some or all of the items that have changed in the MDM Repository since your last deployment.

  Information noteNote: In the specific case of Jobs, only those Jobs that have previously been deployed using the Deploy to... option are proposed for update.

• You can manually select which items you want to deploy from the MDM Repository tree view, either by specifying the destination server explicitly or by choosing to deploy to the last server used.

• You can edit the Preferences so that, when you save an item, it is automatically deployed to the last server used.

The steps involved in each of these different deployment methods are described in more detail in the following procedures.

You can also deploy all types of items except Jobs and workflows to the MDM server using the command mDeployItem from the CommandLine. To deploy Jobs to the MDM server, use the command mDeployJob. To deploy workflows to the MDM server, use the command mDeployWorkflow. To deploy new items or the existing items that have changed in the MDM Repository since your last deployment, use the command mUpdateServer. For more information on how to use these commands, see the help provided in the CommandLine.

For more information about the CommandLine, see Talend Administration Center User Guide.

If the items you want to deploy are being handled and deployed by another user, one or more conflicts will occur. You can set up a strategy to reconcile the conflict(s).

You can also undeploy one or more deployed items from the MDM server.
