The deploy operation is used to deploy webMethods applications into target environment .Target environment assets to target server or cluster. Targets can be a standalone Integration Server (or) a group of Integration Servers in a cluster.
Deployment process is also implemented with 2 options as shown in the below diagram.
This deploy operation performs the following deployment activities, when the build is generated by webMethods ABE component (refer the left side steps of the below picture);.
Generate the Project Automator XML file based on the
givenconfigured environment properties & the build version selected
in FlexDeploy projectfor deployment.
Execute webMethods Project Automator command line script to facilitate automatic project creation
.in webMethods Deployer.
Execute webMethods Deployer command line script to
automate the deployment for the specified project towards target environmentdeploy assets.
Deploy operation should be used in deploy workflows. Make sure to set the endpoint resource type to WM Deployer Server.
