The CATI Multimode system is set up with the use of the convenient and reliable release management software system called the Octopus Deploy server.
The current documentation only deals with procedures that are performed in the course of the CATI Multimode system deployment. It merely lists the parameters required to install the CATI Multimode system correctly on the specified machines. This documentation is not meant to explain how the Octopus Server should be installed, prepared or configured to perform the CATI Multimode deployment. Please refer to the Octopus Deploy software documentation for any question concerning Octopus software installation, configuration and functions.
The Octopus Deploy Server is a friendly deployment and release management automation system. Use of the Octopus Deploy server helps to facilitate the deployment process. A flawless and trouble free deployment and update routine is created by saving and reusing the deployment configurations, steps and environments to which the Forsta software is deployed.
Important
Normally the CATI Multimode system deployment procedure does not require any changes in setup configuration - merely follow the prompts that appear in the course of the installation. The complete instruction can be found in CATI On-Premise Deployment Procedure. Proceed directly to this part of the documentation if you do not intend to make changes to the Octopus Deploy Server account.
Any necessary updates of the Forsta software are also performed using the Octopus Deploy software. As a rule, any update is performed quickly and without problems using templates. The person initiating the update procedure must only select from a number of preset configurations and start the process; the rest happens automatically.
Note that any new CATI Multimode version is installed into a separate, freshly created folder; this is true for all machines included in the chosen environment. When deployment is successfully completed, the newly created folders containing the latest CATI Multimode version are specified as the working folders. No folders containing previous CATI Multimode versions are deleted, although they are no longer used.
