You can move a process from one platform (container manager)
to another. (Of course, you can manually stop the process on one
platform and start it on another by using the start and stop commands
as separate operations, but the move command makes this more convenient).
In addition, if the process being moved depends on a set of components,
the move command will automatically install these components onto
the target (if they are served via web server).
To move a process, use either method 1 or method 2 described
below.
Method 1. In the tree view window, right-click on the
process to be moved. Select the "Move Process" command.
In the example below, the HelloWorldProvider process is being
moved from the platform that's been expanded in the left
window.
The following dialog will appear. Select the platform to which
to move the process (the destination). Click OK.
Method 2. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the process
you want to move. Select the process to be moved and hold down
the (left) mouse button. Drag the process to the platform node
to which to move the process, and release the mouse button. You
can drag to any platform node in the same tree view window, or
even in another tree view window.
No matter which method you use, the process will be stopped and
then started on the other platform (after any necessary components
are installed on the destination platform). If this was successful,
you'll see a message dialog indicating that "the process
was successfully started on <destination>". You can
turn such message dialogs off in the Options
menu. If you have your tree views set up similarly to the first
diagram above, you'll be able to see the process disappear from
the first tree and a new process appear in the second tree.
