Apache is the most popular web server in the world today running an estimated
63% of all Web sites.
Available branded as IBM HTTP server for use with WebSphere where it provides
equivalent functionality
Provides modules that extend core functionality and enable optimization of static
resources
The WDeploy tool is included with SAP BI Platform to ease deployment of web
applications to Java-based web application servers.
Supports auto-configuration of HTTP server connectors such as MOD_JK or IBM HTTP
server plugin
Separates static content and automatically deploys it to your supported web server of

Why?
Focused on Promotion workflows
Optimized for 100 objects/promotion
Public
Content is in Development
We want to promote it into Test, for testing
Then we want to promote it again into production
2013 SAP AG. All rights reserved.
Public
Public
We then run the promotion job, so the content is promoted into Test
Public
If the test of that content was successful, we can then re-run the same promotion
job, but we change the target to Production. (as per SAP TMS / CTS+ )
Promoting content from Test to Production does not follow this principal and so it is
considered poor practice.

High-Level Architecture
Why a dedicated system is recommended
Why a dedicated system?
Promotion Management is really a production system
It stores rollback content from a production environment,
which could be critical if a rollback is required in your
Production system.
With the Version Management System, it contains the
versioning and an audit trail of your BI content allowing that
content to be re-promoted or old content recovered. Could
be critical to meet compliance regulations.
Avoids potential issues when promoting content the
Promotion job owner does not have access to.
Its really like any other production environment:
Need to back up the system
The rollback content is stored as instances in the output File
Repository Server
The versioning of content is stored in version management, so
you must also back up the version management database.

High-Level Architecture
Why a dedicated system is recommended
Additional benefits of a dedicated
Promotion Management System
Allows for a refresh of Development and
Test from Production without losing any
Promotion Management-specific data.
Allows for decoupling of software releases
between Promotion Management and other
environments.
For example, you can patch just Promotion
Management without affecting Production.
Allows the Promotion Management Server to
be upgraded without necessarily upgrading
Production. This could be important, for
example, you may wish to upgrade Test
before Production, but to be supported, you
also need to upgrade the Promotion
Management Server.

Overview of Mappings
When a connection is promoted from one
environment to the other, then the datasource
connection needs to be updated accordingly.
We call this connection overrides.
Connection overrides include:
Universe connections
Query as Web Service connections
Crystal Reports direct to data connections
