Deploy a package to a deployment server

You can deploy a package to a deployment server. The deployed package is exported with values and imported to the selected deployment server applying the import options.

  1. Navigate to Packages > Packages.
    The Packages page appears.
  2. On the context menu of the package to deploy to a deployment server, click Deploy package.

    The Deployment opens in a new browser tab with the Deployment tab selected. The artifacts from the selected package along with the artifact name, type, version and value are displayed.

  3. On the Deployment tab, do the following:
    1. Select the Deployment configuration. (Default: Base)
    2. On the Deploy to list, select the pre-configured deployment server for which to deploy the package. See configure a deployment server.
    3. By default, Execute test plans is selected which means the test cases for the processes within the package are executed. Clear the check box if you do not want to execute the test cases.

      If you choose to execute the test cases, the package is deployed to the deployment server successfully only if execution of all the test cases associated with the package is passed. If any of the test cases fail, the deployment is stopped and the Results tab displays the following: The process map name in which the test case exists, the deployment status as failed, and the reason for the failure. When an error is returned causing the deployment to fail, this means there are one or more issues and we recommend that you execute your test suite to investigate.

    4. By default all the artifacts from the package are displayed. To filter the list, on the Artifact list select a group, such as User interface. The artifacts from the selected group such as forms and form templates are displayed. (Default: All). Available artifacts are: All, Capture, Custom service groups, Devices, Export Connector, Integration, Miscellaneous files, Monitoring, Packages, Queries, Resources, System, System data, User interface and Workflow.
  4. On the Import options tab, include or exclude the Deployment import options, as needed.
  5. Click Deploy.

    The package is exported using the settings saved in the package, and imported to the deployment server applying the import options. If a deployment is unsuccessful, the Results tab displays a summary of errors and warnings. An audit log entry is added to record the deployment.
