Compiles and generates an SCA artifact for the composite that can be deployed to the server. This artifact may be a full composite SAR file or it may be a sparse patch SAR file (12.2.1+ versions only), if a patch.xml file is detected in the checked out code. 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 build.

Artifacts

This operation produces a SCA composite jar as the artifact 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

This operation doesn't perform any property replacement since the environment is unknown at build time.
Utilize the SOA Extend Classpath environment variable to extend the plugin classpath to allow the compile to succeed with custom java classes or xpath functions.

Configuration plans

During the build workflow, all configuration plans within the checked out composite are discovered and saved in a separate folder (./artifacts/configPlans) under the artifacts directory. All artifacts, including the configuration plans, will be saved in the artifact repository.
