Deploying mashups for testing and individual use

There are several ways to deploy mashups to make them available for users to work with.

• Private deployment: This type of deployment is only for the person who developed the mashup. Typically, you would privately deploy a mashup for testing purposes.

  Instructions for creating a private deployment are in this section.

• Local deployment: In this type of deployment, an application, .lawsonapp file, created by a mashup developer, exists and is copied onto a user's local machine. After the user deploys it, through the Show menu, it is available for selection in Infor Smart Office Navigator in the Mashups menu group.

  This method of deployment can be used for testing and for private mashups that have been purchased through Infor Marketplace.

  Instructions for creating a .lawsonapp and for local deployment are in this section.

• Enterprise deployment: This is how mashups are typically distributed to users.

  In this case the .lawsonapp is deployed in LifeCycle Manager.

  This document does not provide instructions for enterprise deployment. Those instructions are in the Infor Smart Office Administration Guide.

• Web mashup deployment: This type of deployment is only available in the Designer if the Mashup Server is registered in the active Smart Office profile. The Web Deploy will do the exact same things as a Private Deploy from the Mashup Server Admin Client, but also display compilation results for the mashup developer about unsupported controls, parameters, events, etc.
