KittoDeployment

Introduction

This documents explains how to deploy a Kitto application on a production system.

Application directory

When deploying a Kitto application, you need to provide its Application Home directory with the executable file and the Metadata and Resources subdirectories.

Plus, you need to provide the System Home directory. While during development these two directories are separated, in deployment it is recommended that you merge them together, keeping the files from the Application Home rather than those from the System Home in case of duplicates. It is easy to set up an installation script to do that, for example with InnoSetup.

Application Tools

• ADOTool: install ADO provider
• PDFMerge: install Debenu quick PDF
