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.
...
This operation should be run on a SOA server. To accomplish this, Flexagon recommends adding the SOA instance to a build environment rather than checking the "Build Environment" checkbox in a deployment environment. This will reduce the number of environments that show up when you choose to buildfor Development environment that is mapped to your SOA Instance. You do not have to create a special build environment for this purpose.
Generated SCM artifact will 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 BUILD, DEV, QA, PRODUCTION environments, then Build workflow can be executed in BUILD environment 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, they are discovered and saved 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.
