Compiles and generates an SCA artifact for the composite that can be deployed to the server. You should checkout or export code for Composite project (not entire JDeveloper application) from SCM prior to running this operation. Checkout or Export can be easily done if you configure project with Source details by using operations like exportProjectSources, cloneProjectSources etc. depending on SCM being used by Project.
It is good practice to create FlexDeploy project with name that matches composite name. Each FlexDeploy project must correspond to only one composite. You can create projects for all composites from same JDeveloper Application under one FlexDeploy application.
...
Generated SCM artifact can be deployed to subsequent environments using configuration plans, so no additional compilation is done prior to deployment. You can create SOA instance in FlexDeploy and associate it to DEV, QA, PRODUCTION environments, then Build workflow can be executed in DEV environment and generated project version can be deployed to DEV, QA and PRODUCTION at appropriate times. If version in FlexDeploy state is same in all environments that means that same version of composite is deployed in all environments. If you are using composite specific configuration plans, build operation will discover and save them in configPlans folder under artifacts and will be available at deploy time as well. You can indicate configuration plan to use during deploy at project level or globally in workflow, for more details see soaDeploy operation.

@Since 5.1.0.1, this operation detects XML files containing word cfgplan in name as artifacts to use during deploy operation even when these files are not in root folder of composite. |

Artifacts
This operation produces a SCA composite jar as the artifact that will be stored in the artifacts repository.
Endpoint Selection
This operation will select 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/Instanceenvironment 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 will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which one.
