You can define control tasks on configuration items (CIs) to execute actions from the Deploy GUI or CLI. Control tasks specify a list of steps to be executed in order. There are two methods to parameterize control tasks:

You can use the discovery feature to import an existing infrastructure topology into the Deploy repository as configuration items (CIs). You must have the discovery global permission to use the discovery feature.

Use the discovery feature to automatically create an accurate model of your infrastructure in Deploy. During discovery, Deploy scans your middleware environment and creates configuration items (CIs) in the repository. Discovery is part of the Deploy plugin suite, and the exact discovery functionality available depends on the middleware platforms that are present in your environment.

The Generic plugin supports discovery in any subtype of generic.Container, generic.NestedContainer, or generic.AbstractDeployed. To implement custom discovery tasks, you provide shell scripts that interact with the discovery mechanism, via the standard out, with specially formatted output representing the inspected property or discovered configuration item.

Discovery is the process of scanning your environment and creating configuration items (CIs) in the Deploy repository based on the configurations that are found. Discovery allows you to easily set up your infrastructure. However, the discovered CIs may not always be completed, as some CIs contain properties that cannot be automatically discovered, such as passwords. You must enter these properties manually.

After you specify the JBoss server home location and the host on which the JBoss server is running, you can use the JBoss Application Server plugin to discover the following properties on a running JBoss server:

After you specify the host and domain of a server running Oracle WebLogic, you can use the Deploy WebLogic (WLS) plugin to discover the following middleware containers:

Deploy does not allow the creation or discovery of multiple CIs with the same name, and considers them as duplicates. However, Websphere allows the creation of such resources with the same name, as long as they are of different types.

A task is an activity in Deploy. When starting a deployment, Deploy will create and start a task. The task contains a list of steps that must be executed to successfully complete the task. Deploy will execute each of the steps in turn. When all of the steps are successfully executed, the task itself is successfully executed. If one of the steps fails, the task itself is marked as failed.

The JBoss Domain, or jbossdm, plugin for Deploy can be used to manage deployments and resources on:
