Compiles and generates an SCA artifact for the composite that can be deployed to the server.  This artifact may be a full composite SAR file, or it may be a sparse patch SAR file (12.2.1+ versions only), if a patch.xml file is detected in the checked-out code. This operation should be run on a SOA server. To accomplish this, Flexagon recommends adding the SOA instance to a build environment rather than checking the "Build Environment" checkbox in a deployment environment. This will reduce the number of environments that show up when you choose to build.

# Artifacts

This operation produces a SCA composite jar as the artifact that will be stored in the artifacts repository. 

# Endpoint Selection

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the Target. 

# Endpoint Execution

This operation will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which one. 

# Special Considerations

This operation doesn't perform any property replacement since the environment is unknown at build time. \
Utilize the *SOA Extend Classpath* environment variable to extend the plugin classpath to allow the compile to succeed with custom java classes or xpath functions. 

# Configuration plans

During the build workflow, all configuration plans within the checked-out composite are discovered and saved in a separate folder (./artifacts/configPlans) under the artifacts directory. All artifacts, including the configuration plans, will be saved in the artifact repository.
