Deploying a Workflow
When you finish building a workflow, you can use Podcast Composer to upload
the workflow bundle to a Podcast Producer server. Podcast Producer makes the
workflow available to Podcast Capture clients, as determined by the Podcast Producer
administrator.
Before you can deploy a workflow, make sure you have the necessary credentials to
access the Podcast Producer server.
To deploy a workflow to a Podcast Producer server:
1 In Podcast Composer, choose File > Deploy to Server (Command-U) or press the
Deploy button on the Summary stage.
If your workflow is incomplete, a dialog appears describing the problem with the first
incomplete setting in the workflow. Podcast Composer displays a red arrow pointing
to the element that has the incomplete setting.
2 If a dialog appears indicating that the workflow is incomplete, click the OK button to
dismiss the dialog, fix the problem, and then try to deploy the workflow again.
You might need to repeat the process several times until the workflow passes
verification.
3 In the Server field of the Deploy dialog, enter the address of the Podcast Producer
server or choose a server from the pop-up menu.
4 Click Deploy.
5 In the Name and Password fields, enter the administrator user name and password
assigned to you by the Podcast Producer administrator.
If a workflow with the same name or same unique identifier exists, Podcast Composer
prompts you whether to overwrite the workflow, install the workflow with a different
unique identifier, or cancel the operation.
What makes a workflow unique is a unique identifier (UUID). This means that you can
have multiple workflows with the same name, as long as the UUIDs are different.
6 Click Deploy again.
A dialog box appears indicating that the workflow was successfully uploaded to the
Podcast Producer server.
When you deploy a workflow, Podcast Producer changes the name of the workflow to
an automatically generated name. For example:
631CDEA3-AC0D-4DC8-BF7E-1A24DC306A02.pwf
Podcast Producer also adds checksum information to the workflow to ensure integrity.
