The deploy operation is used to deploy webMethods applications into target environment .Target environment can be a standalone Integration Server (or) a group of Integration Servers in a cluster.
Deploy Deployment process is also implemented with 2 options as shown in the below diagram.
The This deploy operation performs the following internal deployment activities, If ABE build foundthe build is generated by webMethods ABE component;
- Generate the Project Automator XML file based on the given environment properties and & the build version selected in FlexDeploy project.
- Execute webMethods Project Automator command line script to facilitate automatic Deployer project creation. in webMethods Deployer
- Execute webMethods Deployer command line script to automate the deployment for each project.
In the case of build generated by Zip Utility as part of Build operation;
- Deploy operation will UnZip the package .zip file into target Integration Server application directory <Integration server home>/packages .The changes will be activated upon the target server restart.
- Simultaneously, plugin keeps the copy of package zip file into target Integration Server dedicated directory <Integration server home>/packages/replicate/inbound so that webMethods Administrator can login into webMethods Admin UI page and click 'install from Inbound releases' button to activate the package without server restart.
...
- the specified project towards target environment.
Deploy operation should be used in deploy workflows.

As a best practice, use webMethods Deployer based deployment which has efficient features such as simulation, handling clusters, report detailed reports & logs, inter-dependency check etc. |
