The deploy operation is used to deploy webMethods applications into target environment.
Deploy is also implemented with 2 options as shown in the below diagram.
The deploy operation performs the following internal activities, If ABE build found;
- Generate the Project Automator XML file based on the given environment properties and build version selected in FlexDeploy project.
- Execute webMethods Project Automator command line script to facilitate automatic Deployer project creation.
- Execute webMethods Deployer command line script to automate the deployment for each project.
In the case of build generated by Zip Utility as part of Build operation;
- Deploy operation will UnZip the package .zip file into target Integration Server application directory <Integration server home>/packages .The changes will be activated upon the target server restart.
- Simultaneously, plugin keeps the copy of package zip file into target Integration Server dedicated directory <Integration server home>/packages/replicate/inbound so that webMethods Administrator can login into webMethods Admin UI page and click 'install from Inbound releases' button to activate the package without server restart.
The selected version of Build(webMethods package ZIP file) will be retrieved from internal artifacts repository and will be deployed into target environment. Deploy operation should be used in deploy workflows.
Tip
As a best practice, use webMethods Deployer based deployment which has efficient features such as simulation, handling clusters, report & logs, dependency check etc.
