The deploy operation is used to deploy webMethods assets to target server or cluster. Targets can be a standalone Integration Server (or) a group of Integration Servers in a cluster. This deploy operation performs the following deployment activities.
  • Generate the Project Automator XML file based on the configured environment properties & the build version selected for deployment.
  • Execute webMethods Project Automator command line script to facilitate automatic project creation in webMethods Deployer.
  • Execute webMethods Deployer command line script to deploy assets.
Deploy operation should be used in deploy workflows. Make sure to set the endpoint resource type to WM Deployer Server.

​
Tip

 As a best practice, use webMethods Deployer based deployment which has efficient features such as simulation, handling clusters, detailed reports & logs, inter-dependency check etc.
