Deploying a Catalog item to your system

To deploy an item from the DataMiner Catalog (e.g. a connector or package) to your DataMiner System:

1. Make sure the following requirements are met:

   • Your DataMiner System is connected to dataminer.services. See Connecting your DataMiner System to dataminer.services.

   • Your organization has been verified. This is necessary for dataminer.services to be able to check for which connectors your organization has acquired a license. See Getting your organization verified.

   • Your dataminer.services account is linked to a DataMiner user account. See Linking your DataMiner account to your dataminer.services account.

2. Look up the item in the Catalog. See Looking up an item in the Catalog.

   

3. If you cannot see the Deploy button yet, go to the Versions tab and expand the version you want to deploy.

   If you do see a Deploy button immediately, but you want to deploy a specific version, also go to the Versions tab and expand the version you want to deploy.

   Note

   • If your organization does not have a license for the displayed item, the Deploy trial button will be displayed instead, which you can use to test the item in a staging environment. To get a license to deploy the item in a Production system, contact licensing@skyline.be.
   • To be able to deploy an item to your DataMiner System, the DataMiner user profile linked to your dataminer.services user profile has to have the following permissions:
     • Modules > System configuration > Agents > Install App packages.
     • Modules > Automation > Execute.

4. Click the Deploy button.

   

   Note

   If your account is not linked to one of the selected DataMiner systems, a message will be displayed indicating which systems the account is not linked to yet. Clicking the name of the DataMiner System will open a new tab to link your account. After the account linking process is complete, navigating back to the original tab will revalidate the account linking.

5. Select the target DataMiner System.

   The item will be pushed to the DataMiner System. In the Admin app, you can check the status of the deployment. See Viewing information on deployments.

Note

From DataMiner 10.4.10/10.5.0 onwards, when you install a connector for the first time by deploying it from the DataMiner Catalog, it will automatically be promoted to the production version. However, when you later deploy a new version of the same connector and want it to be set as the production version, you will need to manually promote this protocol version. Prior to DataMiner 10.4.10/10.5.0, deploying a connector from the Catalog will never change the production version for that connector in the DataMiner System.
