Hyperledger Composer Network Deploy

The composer network deploy utility is used to deploy a business network archive from local disk to a Hyperledger Fabric v1.0 network. Before using this command, read the topic Deploying and Updating Business Networks.

Please note: It is recommended that users use the composer runtime install and composer network start commands instead of this command.

composer network deploy -a digitalPropertyNetwork.bna -A admin -S adminpw -c PeerAdmin@hlfv1 -f admincard

Hyperledger Fabric Endorsement Policies

The --option, -o option and the --optionsFile, -O option allow connection specific information to be sent. Hyperledger Fabric v1.0 endorsement policies can be sent using the -o and -O options in several ways.

Using the -o option, the endorsement policy can be sent as a single-line JSON string as follows:
```
composer network deploy -o endorsementPolicy='{"identities": [.... }'
```
Using the -o option, the endorsement policy can be sent as a file path as follows:
```
composer network deploy -o endorsementPolicyFile=/path/to/file/endorsementPolicy.json
```
In this case, the endorsement policy file should follow this format:
```
{"identities":[...],
    "policy": {...}}
```

Using the -O option, the endorsement policy can be sent as a file path as follows:

composer network deploy -O /path/to/file/options.json

In this case, the options file should follow this format:

        {"endorsementPolicy": {"Identities": [...].
            "policy: {...}"
          },
          "someOtherOption": "A Value"
        }
