Builds a Salesforce artifact to be deployed to Salesforce Organizations or sandboxes.
Supports Full or Partial Deploy projects.
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 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 or SCM and Salesforce sourced files. The package.xml file is generated automatically to upload the correct information to Salesforce.
Environment/Instance Properties
Property Name | Property Code | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Salesforce User | FDSF_USER | Yes | The username to connect to Salesforce with. The sandbox name is automatically appended if necessary if you forget to append it. |
| Salesforce Password | FDSF_PASSWORD | Yes | The Salesforce password for Salesforce User. If you are using a security token, paste the 25-digit token value to the end of your password.

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.
