Process Deployment from development environment to other environment

Sometimes the developed process may be deployed to other environments. There are two ways in which a process can be deployed. From UI controls From database configuration.

From UI Once the process is complete and is validated successfully, it is ready to be deployed in server environment. User can choose the Deploy option on Process Template Diagram screen as shown below.

A popup will show up to enter the details about the target environment. User can choose either to use JDBC or JNDI. Based on the choice user has to enter the parameters for the target environment. And click on Deploy button.

Once business process is deployed successfully, a message will appear on screen as shown below.

From Database Configuration User can view the target environment and edit it for deploying to other environment by editing the property directly in database as follows.

Open DB Visualizer application or any other database access tool. Create connection to access database of the Process Designer. Choose pd schema and open ms_project_config table.

In this table user can change properties related to the deployment environment.

The properties that need to be edited are as follows.

DEPLOYMENT_DB_DRIVER - the driver for target database. DEPLOYMENT_JDBC_URL - the URL of target database. DEPLOYMENT_JDBC_USERNAME - username to authenticate to target database. DEPLOYMENT_JDBC_PASSWORD - password to authenticate to target database. DEPLOYMENT_JNDI - JNDI for database connection. When DEPLOYMENT_JNDI is set, it will be used and other values are disregarded.

After environment of deployment is changed, user can deploy the process to that environment.
