At the completion of this section, you will:

Understand how to request a build for a Tomcat application
Understand how to request a deployment of the build artifact to an environment
Understand the FlexDeploy deployment model of build once and deploy to many environments
Understand how to view the execution data

Now that FlexDeploy is configured with everything that is required to execute a build and deploy request for the application, we can execute the first build. On the Project, select the first tab (green - Execution) and select the Build button.
