In Full Deployment mode, it supports:

  • Building an existing Salesforce zip file from the FD_TEMP_DIR (by copying it to the artifacts folder)

  • Building an existing directory structure with a package.xml in it.

  • In this mode, all object types that are supported by the Salesforce API are supported by FlexDeploy.

In Partial Deployment mode, it supports:

  • Building a package structure from files checked out of SCM when no package.xml is present. It is automatically created from the items selected for deployment.

  • Building a package structure from files stored in a Salesforce Organization or Sandbox.

  • Building a package structure with a mixture of SCM and Salesforce sourced files. The package.xml file is generated automatically to upload the correct information to Salesforce.

  • In this mode, see the Supported Salesforce Metadata Types list for information on what types of objects are supported.
