Deploying an Object

Deploying an Object

Deploy an object to a Data Integration Service as an application, or deploy the object to an application archive file to export the object as an application.
To deploy an object as an application, the application must be valid. If the application is not valid, you can export the object without an application by right-clicking the object in the
Object Explorer
view and selecting
Export
. You can store the object in a version control system or import it to a different Model repository.
  1. Choose to deploy an executable object or a flat file data object.
    • To deploy a mapping, workflow, or other executable object, right-click the object and select
      Deploy
      .
    • To deploy a flat file data object, right-click the object and choose to deploy the object as a web service, SQL data service, or REST web service.
    The Developer tool prompts you to create an application.
  2. Enter an application name.
  3. To choose a location for the application, accept the default location, or click
    Browse
    and select another location.
  4. Select the application type. You can select Full or Incremental.
    If you deploy a flat file data object as a web service, SQL data service, or REST web service, the application cannot be an incremental application.
    After you create the application, you cannot edit the application type.
  5. To add objects to the application, click the Add button and select objects.
  6. Click
    Next
    .
  7. Choose one of the following options to deploy the application:
    • To deploy the application to a Data Integration Service, select
      Deploy to Service
      .
      • If the Developer tool contains the connection information for multiple domains, click
        Browse
        to select a domain.
      • Select the Data Integration Services to which you want to deploy the application.
    • To deploy the application to an application archive file, select
      Export as application archive file
      . Then click the
      Browse
      button to select the directory where you want to save the file.
  8. To deploy the object to a web service, complete the following steps:
    1. Configure properties for the web service.
    2. To add operations to the web service, click
      Next
      .
      By default, the Developer tool creates an operation for each object that you deploy as a web service.
    3. Select each operation, operation input, and operation output to display and configure the properties.
    4. Click
      Finish
      .
  9. To deploy the object to an SQL data service, complete the following steps:
    1. Enter a name for the SQL data service.
    2. Accept the default location, or click
      Browse
      to select a Model repository and a project folder location for the SQL data service.
    3. Click
      Next
      .
      The
      Add Virtual Tables to SQL Data Service
      dialog box appears.
    4. Click the Add button.
    5. Enter a name for the virtual table.
    6. Click the Open button in the
      Data Object
      column.
      The
      Select a Data Object
      dialog box appears.
    7. Select a physical data object and click
      OK
      .
    8. Enter the virtual schema name in the
      Virtual Schema
      column.
    9. Select
      Read
      in the Data Access column to link the virtual table with the data object. Select
      None
      if you do not want to link the virtual table with the data object.
  10. To deploy an object to a REST web service, complete the following steps:
    1. Configure properties for the REST web service.
    2. Select the columns to include in the definition.
    3. Select the HTTP method.
  11. Click
    Finish
    .
The Developer tool deploys the application to the Data Integration Service. The Data Integration Service runs the application and the objects that it contains.
You can test the output of application objects and validate the output against requirements. If necessary, edit the application objects and update the deployed application.
