importApplication
Imports the application resources from the artifacts repository and deploys the application to one or more selected cloud instances. Performs environment-specific property replacement for one or more service endpoint configuration plans ( if exists ) before deployment.
It is required to have exported the application resources using exportApplication operation prior to running the import. This operation uses the application artifact zip file (ApplicationId-ApplicationVersion.zip) from the artifacts repository and derives the ApplicationVersion to be used for the application imported to the target cloud instances. It will result in failure when there is no exported application artifact in the repo,
Configuration plans can be used for this operation, see below for more details. It also performs application 'Stage' or 'Publish' based on the operation type plugin input after successfully importing all the resources.
Either FDOVB_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_CODE environment instance property value or FDOVB_INP_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_CODE plugin input value should exist. When both exists, plugin input value will take precedence. See Creating/Editing a Cloud Account and Provider for details on how to setup Cloud Account for OVB.

Outputs
Output Name | Description |
---|---|
Artifacts
This operation consumes the artifacts 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.
Configuration Plans
Configuration plans are used to dynamically update the environment specific information for service endpoints used across the applications. VBCS application stores the server endpoint configuration for all the service connections in the json format under '/services/' directory. This operation utilizes one or more config plans ( explained below ) to update the appropriate server definition prior importing the resources to the target cloud instance.
