Registries

Previous Next

A registry is an XML document that acts as a mini-database describing how target machines are different from Development machines: it provides data needed for configuration.

You typically use a single registry in your DTAP arrangement, but Delivery Manager allows you to keep several and switch between them.

The structure and contents of this registry are free-format. You can tailor every aspect of the registry to your needs.

Configure example 1 illustrates the use of a registry for configuring machine-specific information, combined with a deploy script that reads this information at the time when deliverables are deployed.
