The deploy operation is used to deploy webMethods applications into target environment .Target environment can be a standalone Integration Server (or) a group of Integration Servers in a cluster.
Deployment process is also implemented with 2 options as shown in the below diagram.
This deploy operation performs the following deployment activities, If the build is generated by webMethods ABE component;
- Generate the Project Automator XML file based on the given environment properties & the build version selected in FlexDeploy project.
- Execute webMethods Project Automator command line script to facilitate automatic project creation. in webMethods Deployer
- Execute webMethods Deployer command line script to automate the deployment for the specified project towards target environment.
Deploy operation should be used in deploy workflows.
Tip
As a best practice, use webMethods Deployer based deployment which has efficient features such as simulation, handling clusters, detailed reports & logs, inter-dependency check etc.
