The deployment of the Data Exchange Layer is divided into administrative and technical deployment, and the instructions for those can be found on their own pages. Please note that the planning for the deployment must be done in close cooperation with all the persons and entities participating in the deployment process.
This section contains an overview of the deployment process, showing both the administrative and technical deployment phases. The deployment process of the Data Exchange Layer usually takes about 1–3 months, but the duration of the process can also be shorter. Therefore, familiarise yourself with the specific cases before starting the deployment.
Please note, that your organisation must first join the test environment of the Data Exchange Layer and after that you can proceed to the production environment. If you wish, you can also test the operation of the Data Exchange Layer in the separate development environment.
In the API CatalogueOpens in a new window., you can check if your organisation already uses the Data Exchange Layer. If the Data Exchange Layer is already in use, read instructions how to deploy a single service.
