The CM4D Configuration plugin administrates several applications and/or services, such as CM4D Upload Portal and the DataSmith Batch jobs used to process uploaded data files.
Deployment Requirements
Components managed by the CM4D Configuration plugin have requirements that must be met when determining where a specific application and/or service should be installed.
- CM4D Configuration - must be installed on the same machine as the ATS Security and Configuration Manager.
- CM4D Upload Portal and API Services - installed together; can be installed on any machine that has access to ATS Security and Configuration Manager.
- DataSmith Batch Proxy - must be installed on each machine that has the DataSmith Batch service.
- DataSmith Translator - can be installed on any machine that has access to ATS Security and Configuration Manager.
Deployment Examples
The CM4D Configuration and the CM4D applications can be installed on a single machine. However, with larger organizations that need to support a higher usage may want to distribute the various parts of the system to multiple systems to load-balance and manage resources. The following are just a couple examples of multiple server or client deployments.
Example 1 - Main Server + Distributed DataSmith Clients
In this example, the configuration tool and the application are installed on a central server. The supporting services are installed on several connected clients, with several clients specifically for DataSmith Batch which allows for a large number of files to be processed simultaneously.

Example 2 - Configuration Server + Application Server
In this example, the configuration tool is installed on a central server. The application and its supporting services are installed on another server to handle all the application end and data processing.
