The build operation allows for building webMethods packages , whether they are VCS controlled or not. It automatically build the code and copy the completed zip file over to the from source code. Generated artifacts are stored in FlexDeploy internal artifact repository. It
This operation should be used in build workflows . We need to use SCM-ExportProjectSources plugin flow to checkout the webMethods code from Subversionand must be preceded by operation to extract code from SCM or any File System folder. This means that this operation has a dependency on the existing SCM plugins such as cloneProjectSources, extractProjectSources etc to checkout the source code from SCM tools. Source code is checked out in to temp folder of FlexDeploy workflow execution.

It is best practice to match FlexDeploy project name to webMethods package name. |
