Alfresco WebContent Deployment

Alfresco WCM projects involves Authoring environment and Staging environment.
Authoring environment is the plcae where we create the content.
From the Staging environment we pull content to external site. In this blog I am discussing about how to deploy the content to staging environment.

The staging environment can be classified as below
1. WCM to DM deployment
2. WCM to another alfresco instance deployment(ASR)
3. WCM to deployment Engine
4. WCM to file system

Tested with Alfresco3.4.1
1. WCM to DM deployment
While configuring use the below entries
Transport Name: default
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 50500
URL: --
Type: Live Server
Username: admin

Source Path: --
Excludes: --
Target Name: alfresco
Include In Auto Deploy: Yes

If the target name is alfresco then the content will be deployed to WebDeployed folder of Alfresco.

2. WCM to another alfresco instance deployment(ASR)

Transport Name: default
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 50500
URL: --
Type: Live Server
Username: admin

Source Path: --
Excludes: --
Target Name: avm
Include In Auto Deploy: No

Here the target name is avm, hence it acts as ASR. For the staging sandbox-live will be appeneded.

3. WCM to deployment Engine
Before doing this install and start the deployment engine.
In this case configure the port to 44100
Target Name: default

We can change the target name to other than default by making changes in
alfresco-global.properties
