deployForms
- Karl Henselin
Deploys any combination of Menu, Form, Library, Report, and other files to a Forms and Reports server. Source files are copied to Stage directory and compiled into Destination directory. Compiled and source files can be kept in different, or the same locations based on project property values.
Deploy operation must be executed on Forms server as it copies files to destination folders and performs compilation.
For package-based deploy, files will be moved under the directory specified include path that is part of File Name. For example, if your File Name is /forms/employeedetail.fmb and stage directory is /u01/app, then final file path will be /u01/app/forms/employeedetail.fmb.

Artifacts
This operation consumes artifacts from the BuildForms 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.
