Deployment phases

In an enterprise-wide deployment, the system is set up so that several people have different roles in the system. For

example, an IT administrator installs and deploys the production system (and possibly the testing system), and sets up

the security infrastructure. Form developers design forms; process developers design processes; administrators deploy

services, manage server performance, and so on. The system integrates with the organization’s back-end database

infrastructure.

Typically, various users use LiveCycle in three phases:

Development: Form authors, process developers, or programmers use the development and programming tools to

create processes and custom applications for deployment.

Staging: Administrators and testers deploy and test the applications in a system that mimics the final production

deployment scenario.

Production: Administrators deploy, monitor, and maintain services and applications. End users interact with services

within and outside your organization (and within and outside the firewall).

Administrators move all assets (such as PDF forms, images, process diagrams, and other files required) for an

application to work from one phase to the next. Developers typically package all application assets into a LiveCycle

archive (LCA) file and transfer it from development to staging to production.
