.

Deploy operation must be executed on Forms server as it copies files to destination folders and performs compilation.

For partial deploy, files will be moved under the directory specified include path that is part of File Name. For example, if your File Name is /forms/employeedetail.fmb and stage directory is /u01/app, then final file path will be /u01/app/forms/employeedetail.fmb.

If no STAGE properties are set, the Forms, Menus, and Libraries source files will also be placed in the same

folder

Destination directory.

Artifacts

This operation consumes artifacts 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 instanceTarget. Selecting a specific resource will result in selection of endpoints associated to the environment instance Target 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.
