Invoking Datadeploy

What config files do we need to create for deployment of a DCR from a workarea to database thru a workflow?
Thanks

At a minimum, one custom created configuration file is required -

If you want it to be triggered through a workflow, you can probably just run DataDeploy manually. (Alternatively, you can set up DAS to do the deployments automatically - a number of separate configs will be created for this.)

In the workflow, call iwdd.ipl with the appropriate parameters (configuration file, deployment name, etc.)

You will need to create a configuration file that maps the fields in the DCR to the appropriate fields in the database. There are scripts that can do that automatically for you (especially for use with DAS), however, if you need control, you will have to do it yourself. This configuration file could have any name you desire, and will mainly have mappings of DCR field to Database field. You may also need a configuration file containing database configuration information (dbname, id, etc.)
There should be examples of the database.xml and some sample datadeploy configuration files in the datadeploy directory. The database elements in a DCT are only used when you create a config automatically (often when configuring DAS) - they are not used if you create a manual configuration.
Also, depending on the db you are using, you may also need your database client software and appropriate configuration information installed in order for DataDeploy to be able to communicate properly.
