Graphic Hub Administrator Guide

The Deploy Agent supports two modes:

Standard Mode: Creates only folders on the destination server which contain files that have to be copied by the task. This mode ensures that the folders on the source and destination servers have the same UUID if possible. I.e. folders outside of the original structure which contain references and/or folder links of files inside the structure have new UUIDs assigned if their original UUIDs are present on the destination server.
Direct Deploy Copy Mode: Also creates only folders on the destination server which contain files that have to be copied by the task. This mode ignores the UUID of folders and makes sure that all folders have the correct name in the structure

This page contains the following topics:

Standard Mode Supported Options

The standard mode supports these options:

Options	Supported Item
Schedule Options	Real-time Time steered User triggered
Data Mode Options	Folder based (Only a single folder can be selected per task) File based: in ‘Copy to target folder only’ mode (Multiple files can be selected per task, folders are not allowed) Search criteria based: in ‘Copy to target folder only’ mode (Copies all files that result from executing the search criteria, folders are ignored)
Real-time Options	Rebuild original structure Rebuild structure under target folder Support for: Removal of deleted objects on target server(s), Synchronization users, groups, keywords, add-on templates, etc.
Time Steered Options	Copy to target folder only Rebuild original structure Rebuild structure under target folder
User Triggered Options	Copy to target folder only Rebuild original structure Rebuild structure under target folder

Note: Full support for automatic failover in deploy scenarios is only guaranteed when using real-time deploy tasks. While other tasks already running might continue during a failover (handled internally), time-steered tasks will not initiate if the Main server is down. After restoration of the cluster, scheduled tasks resume normal operation.

Information: Expiration dates set on files or folders are not propagated by the Graphic Hub Deploy Agent (neither for Real-time nor Scheduled tasks). This is intentional behavior:

Expiration and cleanup are designed to be managed within a single Graphic Hub instance, not across a deploy chain.
Expiration dates should not be deployed to backup Graphic Hubs to prevent accidental automatic deletion of potentially needed content upon restoring a backup.

Direct Deploy Copy Mode Supported Options

The Direct Deploy Copy Mode (DDC) mode supported these options:

Note: Real-time is not supported in this mode.

Options	Supported Item
Schedule Options	Time steered User triggered

Time Steered Options	Copy to target folder only Rebuild original structure Rebuild structure under target folder
User Triggered Options	Copy to target folder only Rebuild original structure Rebuild structure under target folder

Additional Information on Data Modes

File based: The task is not able to execute if the objects to deploy contain folders
Search criteria based: The task ignores all folders that are contained in the result of the search.
