buildForms

Builds a deployment artifact that contains any combination of Forms, Menus, Libraries, Reports, and Other Files. In case of Full Deployment project, all files from SCM folder are used to create artifact.

The buildForms operation supports both regular (full) and package-based and it does not perform any compilation or validation; it simply creates artifact zip file.

Project Properties

The following properties are SOURCE properties. They are used to define a sub-folder in which to look for objects of the indicated source. For instance, if your SCM project keeps forms in the folder "forms", the SOURCE for forms is "forms"

The value is removed from the beginning of the path when deploying.

SOURCE_DIR properties are only used for Full Deployment projects.

Artifacts

This operation produces a zip file artifact that contains the items to be deployed and a manifest file describing them. The zip file is suitable for the deploy operation.

Endpoint Selection

This operation delegates endpoint selection to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default the selection to "All", which selects all available endpoints associated to the Target. Selecting a specific resource will result in selection of endpoints associated to the Target which have that resource defined.

Endpoint Execution

This operation delegates endpoint execution to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default to "Any", which will execute on any one of the selected endpoints, which will be randomly picked from selected endpoints or a specific endpoint where previous step may have executed. Changing this value to "All" to will result in execution on all selected endpoints.
