Managing Applications |
|
Process Platform provides the application development environment to build, package and deploy applications. These software packages are termed as Application packages and will be packaged in the .cap format. An application package comprises various artifacts such as business process models, forms, Web services, metadata and so on, which define its business logic essential for building an enterprise application.
During design-time, these artifacts are created and grouped as application content. To use the same content in a deployment environment, it is packaged and distributed as an Application package. Deploying an application package refers to installing the package in the target computer and using the content for various business needs.
Note: A System Administrator is responsible for end-to-end management of these application packages.
Based on the format of packaging your applications, you can do the following to manage them:

Note: Creating packages in .isvp format has been deprecated. All the content packaged will be based on Process Platform Application Package (.cap) format. However, the applications packaged as an .isvp are still allowed to be installed in order to support backward compatibility. |

Using ANT Tasks to deploy packages
Apart from the above mentioned CUSP tasks to manage applications, you can also perform the above actions in silent mode using Ant Tasks. Process Platform provides various Ant task utilities to deploy and undeploy application packages, create database configurations, service containers and so on. Refer to Application Package Deployment Utility for more information. Note that Ant tasks supports only application packages of type .cap to deploy in silent mode.
