The plugin provides the ability for the user to define additional inputs that will be available to the scripts when executing.In addition, the plugin provides the ability for the user to define any number of outputs from the execution of the script that could be utilized in subsequent steps in the workflowDeploys any combination of Menu, Form, Library, Report, and other files to a Forms and Reports server.
Compiled and source files can be kept in different or the same locations based on project property values.

The following properties are DESTINATION properties. They set where the (compiled for Forms, Menus, and Libraries) files are placed on the deploy server. If no STAGE properties are set, the Forms, Menus, and Libraries source files will be placed in the same folder. | |||
| Oracle Forms Destination Directory | FDOFR_FORMS_DESTINATION_DIR | No | Target directory for compiled Form files (fmx). |
| Oracle Libraries Destination Directory | FDOFR_LIBRARY_DESTINATION_DIR | No | Target directory for compiled Library files (plx). |

Artifacts
This operation delegates the consumes /produces artifacts decisions to the workflow developer. Check Consumes Artifacts on the workflow step editor if this operation requires artifacts to be delivered prior to execution of the script. Check Produces Artifacts on the workflow step editor if this operation creates artifacts. The artifacts folder is available via the FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR variable.from the BuildForms operation
Endpoint Selection
This operation delegates endpoint selection to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default the selection to "All", which selects all available endpoints associated to the environment instance. Selecting a specific resource will result in selection of endpoints associated to the environment instance which have that resource defined.
Endpoint Execution
This operation delegates endpoint execution to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default to "Any", which will execute on any one of the selected endpoints, which will be randomly picked from selected endpoints or a specific endpoint where previous step may have executed. Changing this value to "All" to will result in execution on all selected endpoints.
