It is not possible to add Deployment Automation to an already installed Dimensions CM Server by running the CM installer in maintenance mode and option to Modify the existing installation:
When configuring CM to run SDA deployments using a specific base database and a pre-existing SDA installation that was not installed as part of the CM server installation two problems occurred. 1. Although the SDA deployment application and application process could be configured successfully in Admin Console, all deployment jobs remained at the state SUBMITTED. 2. Once the first issue was resolved the deployment jobs were submitted and the SDA component versions were being imported but an error was returned when trying to run the application process.
Do you have a standalone installation of DA, but want to be able to use the DemoApplication that comes as part of the installation when installing them CM server ?
Dimensions CM server has been configured to use Deployment Automation. DM.CFG has been configured DMPASSWD has been run to register the logins for the CM and DA logins
When an existing configuration of Dimensions CM exists and is using LDAP for authentication, it may be desirable to configure Deployment Automation to utilize the same Dimensions LDAP server . Many of the LDAP configuration settings may be copied or somewhat modified and copied from the dm.cfg file into the LDAP configuration sheet of DA.
