Step 5: Deploy the Process App

Prerequisites:

You completed the steps in Step 4: Define Security.

You must also be connected and able to deploy to your repository from SBM Composer.

You must publish and deploy the process app to your SBM Server to use the process app.

To publish and deploy the process app:

  1. Click the Composer button, and then select Publish. If the process app has not been saved yet, or if any part of the process app has changed since the last time it was saved, a message box opens reminding you to save the changes. Click OK.
  2. When the Check In Design Elements dialog box opens, you can enter an optional comment in the Comment box, and then click OK.

    The Publish Process App dialog box opens.

  3. Complete the Publish Process App dialog box:
    • Type an optional comment in the Comment box.
    • Type text to identify the version of the process app in the Label box.
    • Select the Allow others to deploy this version of the process app check box under Visibility.
  4. Click Publish.

    A message box opens indicating whether the process app published successfully or the operation failed.

  5. On the Deployment tab of the Ribbon, click the Deploy button.

    The Deploy Process App dialog box opens.

  6. From the Environment list, select a runtime environment, and then click Deploy.

    In the Activity Log, a message appears notifying you that the deployment process started successfully.

  7. Wait for deployment to complete.
    • If the deployment operation is successful, the following message appears in the Activity Log: "Deployment of 'MyProcessApp' has completed."
    • If the deployment operation fails, the following message appears in the Activity Log: "Deployment of 'MyProcessApp' has aborted."

    If the Activity Log is not available, on the Home tab of the Ribbon, in the Common Views area, select the Activity Log check box. If this check box is already selected and the details are still not visible, select the Activity Log tab in the area under the editor pane.

  8. Continue to Step 6: Associate Users with Roles.
