Step 3. Set up a Deployment Viewer
Configuration can be done on a viewer. However, it is recommended that it be done mainly on the Server.
- Files are not automatically deployed from a viewer to the server or other viewers, so any global changes will not be deployed.
- If the viewer is set up to automatically synchronize the configuration file, any changes to the viewer configuration will be overwritten.
Important: A Viewer must have enough disk for each local deployment folder and the temporary directory in order to insure successful deployment.
Calculations include space that is padding and that is at least the amount used on the server, as follows.
Directory | Viewer space and Padding Requirements | |
Local | Free space | Free space that is at least the size of the corresponding source directories on the server |
Padding |
|
|
Temporary | Free space | A minimum free space of the sum of all the configured server directories. |

Steps for the viewer include:
Step 3.1 | Place the correct configuration file on the viewer. |
Step 3.2 | Open the CIMPLICITY Configuration Editor. |
Step 3.3 | Start synchronization. |
Step 3.4 | Review synchronization progress. |
Step 3.5 | Stop synchronization. |
