Resource Package Deployment Wizard

Resource Package Deployment WizardResource Package Deployment Wizard

If you have created a package of resources and saved it on a network drive, you can use the Resource Package Deployment Wizard to deploy the resources manually to a service or a service group without subscribing to the resources. NetWitness accepts packages in .nwp files or .zip files.

Deploying resources manually deploys them directly to the services without taking advantage of the powerful resource management capabilities of NetWitness.

If you want to receive notification and updates for updated resources and be able to easily remove resources from a service, you must subscribe to resources in the Live Search view and deploy the resources in the Live Configure view.

Note: Use NetWitness Live to create resource bundles; this is a different application that is not part of NetWitness. Selecting Package > Create in the Live Search - Matching Resources toolbar displays the Content Package Tool window. You can choose resources to include in a package and save the package as a NetWitness Package File.

The required permission to access this view is Deploy Live Resources.

To access this view:

  1. Go to netwitness_configureicon_24x21.png (Configure) > Live Content.

  2. In the Live Search - Matching Resources toolbar, select netwitness_packagebtn.png > Deploy.

    The Resource Package Deployment wizard is displayed.

The columns are a subset of the columns available in the Services view. You can select the services or the service groups on which you want to deploy the resources in the bundle.
