Deploying network distributed
applications
After developing and testing a FactoryTalk View Site Edition network distributed
application, you can deploy it to run in a live setting, such as the plant floor. Deploying a
network distributed application often involves installing FactoryTalk View SE software
components on multiple client and server computers.
For details about installing the software, see Chapter 4, Installing FactoryTalk View. For
information about upgrading a network distributed application that is already deployed,
see Chapter 9, Upgrading an operating FactoryTalk View SE application.
For details about the structure and content of network distributed applications, see
Chapter 6, Working with network distributed applications in the FactoryTalk View Site
Edition User’s Guide.
Overview of tasks: deploying network distributed applications
The checklist in this section summarizes the basic tasks involved in deploying a
FactoryTalk View SE network distributed application. Each task is described in detail in
the rest of this chapter. Add or remove steps as necessary to create a customized procedure
that reflects the design and content of your FactoryTalk View application. For example,
your application might include additional communications or database servers.
For details about deploying FactoryTalk Alarms and Events servers, see the FactoryTalk
