Overview

Fiorano Deployment Manager allows you to control the deployment of business components and event processes on various nodes in the Fiorano network. You can use a combination of Labels (Development, QA, Staging, and Production) and other identifiers (GUIDs, version numbers and node names) to create comprehensive and powerful rules to control the deployment of Event Processes.

Select Deployment Manager Node from Tools view, right-click and select Login to connect to Enterprise Server.
