How to deploy virtual services

You can deploy virtual services located in the file system to any OpenText Service Virtualization Server on Windows.

Note: The deployment process generates a log file, which indicates the success or failure of deployment for each entity. The log file is located in the OpenText Service Virtualization Server or Designer log folder, accessible from the Windows Start menu. You can also open the Designer log directly from OpenText Service Virtualization by selecting Open Designer Log from the Help menu.

Do one of the following:
- On the OpenText Service Virtualization Server, open a command prompt. Navigate to the \bin folder under the OpenText Service Virtualization Server installation folder. By default, C:\Program Files\OpenText\Service Virtualization Server\Server\bin.
- On the OpenText Service Virtualization Designer machine, open a command prompt. Navigate to the \bin folder under the OpenText Service Virtualization Designer installation folder. By default, C:\Program Files\OpenText\Service Virtualization Designer\Designer\bin.

Run ResourceManager.exe -deploy at the command line, using the following options:

Note: If an argument contains spaces, it must be enclosed in quotation marks. For example, "Resources\My Project".
