9.1 Deployment Methods
When distributing reports, the Enterprise Manager greatly streamlines the process of deploying a complete web-based report repository in most popular application servers. To deploy a complete report repository, you need to deploy the 'ServletRepository' servlet as well as the configuration files and replets. You can use the Enterprise Manager Deployment Wizard to create a WAR file which can be deployed onto the application server.
You can, of course, also manually create a WAR file to be deployed on the chosen application server. The procedure for manual WAR file creation, as well as WAR file deployment in some popular application servers, is discussed in Appendix C: Manually Deploying a WAR File.
If the database being used during development is different than the database used in production, but has the same schema, then the data source definition can automatically be changed by using the Ant task provided with the software. Refer to Modifying Data Source Definition During Deployment for details on how to use this Ant task.
