You deploy a process app when you want to make it available in the SBM User Workspace for users to access. Process apps can be deployed from SBM Composer or Application Administrator. This topic focuses on SBM Composer.
See the Tutorial for a video about how to deploy a process app to your SBM Server.
The Deploy command gives you access to the Deploy Process App and Deploy Options dialog boxes, where you can select the environment to which you want to deploy, specify e-mail notification information, and so on. The Quick Deploy command starts deploying the process app immediately and uses the settings that were last specified in the Deploy Process App and Deploy Options dialog boxes. The Quick Deploy command also has features (described below) that are useful when you want to deploy and test a process app that you are still designing.
Yes, select the Keep Design Elements Checked Out check box in the Quick Deploy area of the Deployment tab on the Ribbon. This affects the design elements that were checked out before you deployed, and eliminates the step of checking them out before you continue to design.
Yes, clear the Create Versions of Process App Elements check box in the Quick Deploy area of the Deployment tab on the Ribbon. This is a good practice if you want to deploy and test a process app you are designing, but are not ready to commit changes. It also reduces the number of extraneous versions of the process app in the database.
Yes, specify the test environment in the Deploy To list in the Quick Deploy area of the Deployment tab on the Ribbon.
The Message List at the bottom of the SBM Composer window shows deployment messages. You can see errors, warnings, and informational messages.
Right-click the message in the Message List and select Go to Location. SBM Composer opens the problematic design element so you can fix it.
