Creating a staging server
You can create a staging server to test your WebSphere Commerce installation before moving to production.
About this task
Note: The staging server
needs to be federated using the same deployment manager as the production
server. Otherwise, the managed files will not be propagated into the
production EAR because the deployment manager is not aware of the
production node. You can use the FileProp utility to determine whether
the environment is federated. If the environment is federated, the
FileProp utility propogates the files to the production
server. If the environment is not federated, the FileProp utility
places the names of new and changed files into the FileProp log file
and you must manually copy the managed files from the staging server
to the production server.
