Deploying an Application Patch

Deploying an Application Patch

If you edit an object in an incremental application, you can update the object in the deployed application by creating and deploying an application patch. Deploy the application patch to a Data Integration Service or to an application patch archive file.
  1. In the
    Object Explorer
    view, right-click an incremental application and select
    Update Application Objects
    .
    The
    Select Applications
    page of the Incremental Deployment Wizard appears.
    This image shows the Select Applications page of the Incremental Deployment wizard. The page shows options to select a design-time application and a run-time application.
  2. On the
    Select Applications
    page, click
    Browse
    and select the run-time application that you want to update on the Data Integration Service.
  3. Click
    Next
    .
    The wizard fetches the run-time application. Then, the
    Source Object Selection
    page appears.
    This image shows the Source Object Selection page in the Incremental Deployment wizard. Next to Include, the option "Selected objects and first-degree related objects" is selected. The table lists the following objects: the mappings Mapping A and Mapping B.
  4. On the
    Source Object Selection
    page, select the objects in the design-time application that you want the Data Integration Service to replace in the run-time application.
  5. Select one of the following application patch types:
    • Direct dependencies. The patch inherits the direct dependencies of the selected objects.
    • Direct and indirect dependencies. The patch inherits the direct and indirect dependencies of the selected objects.
    • Direct, indirect, and remote dependencies. The patch inherits the direct, indirect, and remote dependencies of the selected objects.
    Default is Direct and indirect dependencies.
    The dependencies appear in the
    Related Objects
    column. For example, for an application patch that inherits direct and indirect dependencies, the column lists the selected objects' direct and indirect dependencies.
  6. To review the impact on each object in the run-time application, click
    Preview Application
    .
  7. Click
    Next
    .
    The
    Patch Deployment Strategy
    page appears.
    This image shows the Patch Deployment Strategy page of the Incremental Deployment wizard. The top of the page shows an option to enter a patch type. The middle of the page shows options to deploy the patch to a Data Integration Service or to deploy the patch to a file. Underneath the deployment options, the page shows a box for the patch history.
  8. On the
    Patch Deployment Strategy
    page, enter the name of the patch.
  9. Select one of the following deployment options:
    • Deploy to Data Integration Service. Deploys the application patch to the Data Integration Service. The Data Integration Service applies the application patch to the run-time application.
    • Deploy to File. Deploys the application patch to an archive file. If you deploy the patch to an archive file, select a directory on your local machine where you want to save the file.
  10. Review the patch history.
    The patch history lists the application patches that have been created for the incremental application.
For detailed information about application patches, see the
Informatica Developer Tool Guide
