Application Deployment Overview

Application Deployment Overview

An application is a deployable object that can contain physical data objects, logical data objects, data services, mappings, mapplets, transformations, web services, workflows.
To make application objects accessible outside of the Developer tool, deploy an application that contains them. You can create an application from scratch, or create it as you deploy an object.
When you deploy an object, you isolate the object from changes in data structures. You can deploy objects to a Data Integration Service or a network file system.
When you deploy an application to a Data Integration Service, the application runs and end users can connect to the application. Depending on the types of objects in the application, end users with appropriate permissions can run queries against the objects, access web services, or run mappings or workflows from the command line. You can also deploy objects to allow users to query the objects through a third-party client tool.
When you deploy an object to a network file system, the Developer tool creates an application archive file. Deploy an object to an archive file if you want to archive the object in a version control system. If your organization requires that administrators deploy objects to a Data Integration Service, an administrator can deploy application archive files through the Administrator tool. You can also import objects from an application archive into projects or folders in the Model repository.
If you make changes to an object, you must redeploy the application that contains the object for the changes to take effect.

Example

You create one mapping that runs a search function, and another mapping that puts selected search results in a shopping cart. You can create an application to contain the two mappings, and then deploy the application to a Data Integration Service. After testing the output of the application objects, you make changes to the objects and redeploy the application. You also deploy the application to an application archive file, and an administrator checks the archive file into a version control system.
