Creating and installing a .NET server Deployment Descriptor file
A Deployment Descriptor file tells the Corticon Server for .NET which Ruleflows to load and how to handle transaction requests for those Ruleflows. A Deployment Descriptor file has the suffix .cdd, and we will often simply refer to it as a .cdd file.
Important: The.cdd file points at the Ruleflow via a path name – it is important that this path not contain space characters. For example, a Ruleflow stored in My Documents cannot be referenced by a Deployment Descriptor file because its path contains a space. Even though the default storage location for your Ruleflow files is inside a Corticon Studio installation's [CORTICON_WORK_DIR]\Samples\Rule Projects\Tutorial\Tutorial-Done (which contains a space), we avoid the problem by substituting ../../ as a relative reference to the directory structure.
Deployment Descriptors are easily created using the Deployment Console, which is installed by the Server installer.
