The Stardust Portal allows to deploy and overwrite models from the Model Management View. Models are deployed via the Deploy Model Wizard that is launched via the Deploy Model icon in the table toolbar and Actions column of the Model Management table.
Figure: Deploy Model
Note
In case you use non-ASCII characters in model element names, you have to
add the property carnot.engine.xml.encoding to your
carnot.properties file and set it to UTF-8.
Otherwise you get an exception during the deployment.
Note that if the requiredRoles attribute is not set to "Administrator"
and you have no administrator rights, but have the permission to
modify and deploy models,
you also need the permission to manage daemons to be able to deploy
models from the Model Management view. Refer to
chapter
Authorization Manager view
for details on how to set this permission.
When launched via the Deploy Model icon in the table toolbar, the model or models deployed are deployed as new versions using current semantics.
To deploy the new version of the model:
Click the Deploy Model icon in the table toolbar. The Deploy New Model wizard gets displayed.

Note that administrator can upload a single file or zip file that contains multiple XPDL files. Deploying zip files is strongly recommended when referencing is used. In that case, references are automatically established.
You can also specify following deployment options:
Click Deploy if you want to proceed with deployment or else click Cancel to cancel the deployment.

If the deployment is successful, the Deployment Status and warnings are displayed. For example, if a model to be deployed does not have a default value set for a configuration variable, a warning for the missing default value for the Configuration Variable is displayed.
Figure: Missing Configuration Variable value warning
You can specify the values in the Value column for each missing configuration variable. This creates a consistent value set for Configuration Variables. Alternatively, an appropriate Preferences set can be uploaded prior to Model Deployment via the Configuration Variables View. For more information, please refer to the Viewing and Editing Configuration Variables chapter.
For details on validating configuration variables for a model, please refer to section Configuration Variables of chapter Model Properties in the Business Process Modeling Handbook.
If you like to proceed regardless of the displayed warnings, click Finish.
If the deployment fails the Deployment Status is displayed as
icon along with errors and warnings. In this
case, the model does not get deployed.
