Add a Deployment Server

To use a deployment server, you firstly need to add it to the Deployment activity. To do this, use the Settings view.

Note: Plant SCADA Studio requires an encrypted connection to the deployment server to perform deployment operations. Before you add a deployment server, you need to connect the development workstation running Plant SCADA to the System Management Server used by the deployment server (see Connect a Computer to a System Management Server).

To add a deployment server:

1. From the Deployment activity, select Settings.

2. If no deployment servers have been added, select Click to connect to an existing deployment server.

   Otherwise, click Add on the Command Bar.

   The Add Deployment Server dialog will appear.

   

3. From the Server Name list, select the deployment server to which you want to connect. For more information, see Configure a Deployment Server. If the configured deployment server is not listed, enter the Windows computer name. If the deployment server is not configured, click Configure Local Server on the Command Bar to configure deployment through the Configurator.

4. Enter an optional Description for the server.

5. Click Add.

   The deployment server will appear in the Deployment Servers list.

6. To use the deployment server, you need to make it the active server (see Make a Deployment Server Active).

   Once active, you will be able to log on to the deployment server through the Versions or Computers view.

   Note: You may need to confirm that the current Windows user has appropriate access to the deployment server (see Provide Deployment Access to Additional Users).
