SUMMARY

This article explains how to deploy an Audium application from Audium Studio to Audium Call Services, to make it available to callers.

SYMPTOMS

Developer has finished designing a particular Audium application and would like to deploy it to Audium Call Services, perhaps to a test or production environment.

RESOLUTION

To deploy an Audium application, perform the following steps:

1. Ensure that the Deploy Version of the application is configured properly.  This should match the version of Audium Call Services that you are deploying the application to.  You can configure this setting by right-clicking on your project in the Navigator view and choosing 'Properties'.

Figure 1: Configuring the Deploy Version of an Audium application

2. Save the application.  You can either choose File -> Save, or you can click on the Save icon from the toolbar.

3. Right-click on your project in the Navigator pane and choose 'Deploy'.

4. The "Deploy Audium Project(s)" dialog will appear.  Here you can choose which directory or FTP site to deploy your application to.  If you are deploying the application to the same machine on which Audium Studio is running (a common situation for developers who have an all-in-one testing/development machine), Audium Home should be automatically detected.  If not, enter it manually into this dialog or choose 'Browse...'.  If you wish to deploy remotely instead (via FTP), choose that option and provide the FTP Server, User ID, and Password.

5. Click 'Finish', and your application will be deployed.  Note that deploying an application from Audium Studio does not cause it to go live and accept incoming requests.  Instead, it packages the application into a format that Audium Call Services understands, and transfers the required files to the specified location.

6. If your application server is not currently running, you can start it and your application will be available to accept requests.  If your application server was already running when you deployed your new Audium application (as is common in a production environment), you can make it available for requests without restarting the application server.  To do this, go to AUDIUM_HOME\applications\YOUR_APP_NAME\admin and run the deployApp script (.bat for Windows, .sh for *nix).

7. You can test that your new application deployed successfully by viewing its VoiceXML in a web browser, or by making a test call if you have a voice browser available.  The URL to your application will be:

http://IP:PORT/Audium/Server?application=YOUR_APP_NAME

where IP is the address of your application server, PORT is the port your application server is listening on, and YOUR_APP_NAME is the name of the application you just deployed.
