Deploying to New Web Applications

If you create a new web application after the Jive SBS SharePoint Connector has been installed and you want to make the Jive features available in this new web application you can use the Solution Management link from SharePoint Central Administration to deploy the solution to more web applications. Then activate the features as described below.

To deploy the solution:

Open the SharePoint Central Administration in a browser.
Manage application features:
In SharePoint 2007
1. Go to Central Admin > Operations > Solution Management.
2. Select the Jive.SharePoint.wsp package and deploy it to the target web application(s).
3. Select Central Admin > Application Management > Manage Web application features, and select the appropriate web application in the top right drop-down list.
In SharePoint 2010
1. Go to Central Administration > Manage web applications.
2. Select the Jive.SharePoint.wsp package and deploy it to the target web application(s).
