Creating Projects

 
You should now have workflows for building and deploying both ADF applications and SOA Suite composites. These workflows can be used to build and deploy hundreds of ADF applications and SOA composites across your enterprise without any changes required.


Let's start by creating an ADF project. You will need to identify an existing ADF application that you want to manage build and deployments for, and find its location in SVN.


Select Projects from the menu. By default there is a root folder called FlexDeploy.

 

Right-click on the FlexDeploy folder and select Create Application

 

 





Enter a name and description for the application and click the OK button. Then right-click on the newly created application and select Create Project.

 




Enter a name and description for the project and click the OK button. The newly created project will open. Click the light-blue Configure tab to enter further configuration.




Enter the Project Configuration information as shown in the image above. Additional information on the SCM configuration is available in the FlexDeploy User's Guide. Make sure that the Trunk Path Script (7) matches your configuration. Click Save and switch to the purple Properties tab.



Enter the Project Property Configuration information as shown in the image above. Enter values for the project property that are relevant to your ADF application. Notice the ADF_PROJECT_NAME (1) project-scoped property that we configured on the buildADF workflow. This property is exposed as a project property so that the workflow is generic and can be reused by many projects.


Click the Save button to save your changes.


For more information regarding inputs for these plugin operations refer to the plugin guides located on the Flexagon Support site or in the <flexdeploy install folder>/docs directory of the FlexDeploy Community Edition installation.


Repeat the steps in this section to create an application and project for SOA Suite, referencing the plugin guides as necessary.


Executing Build & Deployments


We have now configured FlexDeploy with everything it needs to begin executing build and deployment requests for the ADF and SOA projects that were created.


Click on the green Execute tab from within the ADF application you created in the last section. Next click the Build button to present the build request form.




Select the Build environment and click the Submit Request button. You may now click the refresh button periodically, or wait for the automatic refresh, until the status changes to Success or Failure.


You can also click on the Execution Id to drill into the step details of the workflow or view the logs, which is critical in the case of failures.
Once there is a successful build you can request a deployment by clicking on the Deploy button.



On the Deployment Request Form select the project version you wish to deploy, the target environment, and the target instance. Click the Submit Request button. Similarly to the build request, you may click the refresh button periodically, or wait for the automatic refresh, until the status changes to Success or Failure, or click on the Execution Id to view the logs.



Using the same steps as described above, execute build and deployment requests for the SOA project you created.
