With the deployment wizard, Scheer PAS provides a tool to deploy xUML services as Docker container and Kubernetes workload. All you need is the repository (.rep file) of the service.

	To access the deployment wizard, open the Administration. Your user needs the profile xuml_container_admin to use the deployment wizard and to manage xUML services in the Administration.
	Use icon in the navigation bar to open the deployment wizard.
	The wizard opens in a pop-up window. As soon as you have selected the .rep file of the service, the wizard guides you through the necessary steps to create an xUML service. For detailed information how to handle containerized xUML services after successfull deployment, refer to one of the following pages (depending on your setup): Controlling Containerized xUML Services (Docker) Controlling Containerized xUML Services (Kubernetes)

Step 1: Package Upload

First, select the .rep file of the service you want to deploy. You can use the button Coose File to search your computer or drag and drop the file within the framed box.

The name of your service is then displayed below the button.

Click Next to continue.

Step 2: Image Options

	In step 2, you can adapt the image options. Name and Version are mandatory and cannot be empty.
	The image options are: Name: By default, the name of the rep.file is used. You can adapt it. Only . (dot) and - (minus) are allowed as special characters and you cannot start or end the name with them. Version: By default, version number 1.0 is displayed. You can adapt it. Runtime: Be default, the latest version of the Runtime is used. If several Runtime versions are available on your system, you can use the selection list to choose the version you want to use.
	An image must have a unique designation. You will get a warning message if an image with the same name and version already exists. In that case, you must at least change name or version of the image.
	When all mandatory fields have been filled, you have two options: Click Next to adapt the deployment options. This third step of the deployment wizard is optional. Click Summary to check the deployment data and start the build process.

Step 3: Deployment Options

Step 3 is optional and allows you to adapt the deployment options.

It is divided into different sections:

General
Custom Labels

General

In this section, you can find the following options:

Hostname: Shows the name of the host.
- In a Docker setup, it corresponds to the container name (see step 2).
- In a Kubernetes setup, it corresponds to the workload name (see step 2).
Service Name: By default, the image name is displayed. You can also change the name. The service name is the name that will be displayed in the service list.
- If the name is already in use, the container will be overwritten.

Custom Labels

In this section, you can mark the service with additional short information. After deployment, the labels will be visible in the service details.

Icon	Description
	Click this icon to add a new custom label.
	If you want to delete one or more labels, tick the corresponding checkbox(es) in front of the label you want to delete. Then click the trash can icon.
	Hover over this icon to display further information about the usage of custom labels.

Step 4: Summary

In the last step, you can check all deployment-related information again.

Three sections are summarizing the information provided:

Package Upload
Image Options
Deployment Options

If you want to adapt some of your inputs, use the Back button or click on one of the steps in the navigation to access it directly.

Click Build & Deploy to start the deployment process.

The wizard starts the deployment and keeps you updated about the running deployment steps.

This information is read-only, you cannot intervene in the process now.

You can take action again when the deployment has been completed.

Use button Close to close the deployment wizard.
Use button Service Details to open the deployed service in the Administration.
