Note: You can use this form to create and deploy applications that use XML scripts. To create and deploy applications that incorporate SQL scripts, you must use the Mongoose Deployment Scripting Utility.

You can also use the Deployment formMongoose, in conjunction with the Extension Bundles form, to create, modify, generate, download, and deploy extension bundles to -based applications.
