Creating a deployment package with the Deployment form

The Deployment form is used to create and package XML scripts for an application or applet. This zip package can then be used to deploy the app or items in the target systems.

To create the zip package for an application or applet, select one of these options:

  • Export using AccessAs and Object Prefix
    Note: Ensure that you know the Access As ID and the object prefix used for the tables and other metadata in the application or applet that you want to deploy.
  • Export using forms, selected items and referenced items
    Note: The items include referenced objects, component classes, property class extensions, IDO collections,property classes, custom assemblies, application tables, user-defined data types, and IDO projects.
The selected script files are packaged into a zip file at the specified location.

You can verify that the zip file has been correctly created by performing these actions:

  • Click View Log and examine the output log for the operation.
  • Go to the designated output location and verify that the zip file is there and that it contains the expected script files.
