I am trying to understand the workflow surrounding content sources,
repositories, resources, and packages.
I have files of type .xyz that are my content. I think those are called
packages in RHQ. I have an agent that discovers the deployed .xyz
packages for a given resource. Now I want to define the steps necessary
to deploy new versions of the .xyz packages to the appropriate resources.
I have defined a content source pointing to a directory with .xyz
files. I have defined a content repository and associated the content
source with it. I have subscribed the appropriate platform resource to
the repository. I have clicked on Synchronize at various times during
this process, but I never see any packages in the repository.
Am I missing a step somewhere? How do I know if I have configured
things properly so that deployment will happen at the scheduled time
(assuming it will)?
Is there a way to force a manual deployment? (I did see that I can go
to a resource and "pull" the package to it from the Content->New->Upload
New Package button.)
What is the normal workflow for deploying new package content? Do you
really go around to each destination resource/group and pull packages?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
