Builds a Salesforce artifact to be deployed to Salesforce Organizations or sandboxes.

Supports Full or Partial Deploy projects. Local developer files like jsconfig.json and .eslintrc.json are automatically excluded from the artifact generated.

In Full Deployment mode, it supports:

  • Building an existing Salesforce zip file from the FD_TEMP_DIR (by copying it to the artifacts folder)
  • Building an existing directory structure with a package.xml in it.
  • In this mode, all object types that are supported by the Salesforce API are supported by FlexDeploy.

In Partial Deployment mode, it supports:

  • Building a package structure from files checked out of SCM when no package.xml is present. It is automatically created from the items selected for deployment.
  • Building a package structure from files stored in a Salesforce Organization or Sandbox.
  • Building a package structure with a mixture of SCM and Salesforce sourced files. The package.xml file is generated automatically to upload the correct information to Salesforce.
  • In this mode, see the Supported Salesforce Metadata Types list for information on what types of objects are supported.

FDSF_GRANULAR_DEPLOYMENT_OBJECTS

No

Salesforce Object Types to be used with granular support. Values are separated by commas. As of now the supported object for this is Custom Labels. 

Each custom label will be a separate file when pull from Salesforce and stored as an individual file in the SCM (GIT repository). During build, the individual files will be merged and will generate a new file with all the custom labels.

Artifacts

This operation produces artifacts that will be stored in the artifacts repository.


Endpoint Selection

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the Environment/Instance.


Endpoint Execution

This operation will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which one.


Special Considerations

Currently, when using Partial Deploy, some objects show up as two separate files in the file listing screen. If building from SCM, users must select both of them for the deployment to succeed. If building from Salesforce, or using the Full Deployment model, this is unnecessary.


  • No labels
