Deployment and patching

Hi,

We have a complex system that uses IceGrid functionality for a small number of components. For these components we use the dynamic registration functionality with the registry.

We have an increasing number of machines that all must have the same set of binaries installed. But only one of these currently hosts any Ice enabled servers. My question is whether/how we can utilise IceGrid and IcePatch to ease our deployment of updated binaries?

Thanks,

Mark.

    Hi Mark,

    IceGrid deployment and patching mechanism is tailored to managing and updating Ice servers managed by IceGrid nodes. If the binaries you want to distribute on all your machines aren't such servers, you are probably better off just using IcePatch2 to distribute them or any other Unix application designed for this (such as a package management program with a suitable application for automatic updates perhaps).

    Cheers,
    Benoit.
