Deploy

This topic covers how to deploy classification and extraction models to other Appian environments.

Deploy models to other environments

1. Open the Deployment page.
2. Click MANAGE MODELS FOR DEPLOYMENT. Here you see a list of classification and extraction models, as well as their versions.

3. Select the models you want to deploy and click NEXT.

   Note:  During this step, a snapshot of the models and their most recently published version is captured in the AIA deployment document, which is included in the DocCenter application. You must include this file in the deployment. If you make additional changes that you'd like to deploy, repeat the previous steps to take a new snapshot of the models before deployment.

4. The models are added to the list to include in the next deployment. Click CLOSE to dismiss the confirmation message.
5. You can add or remove models from the deployment list by clicking MANAGE MODELS FOR DEPLOYMENT.
6. In Appian Designer, open the AI Document Center application.
7. Use COMPARE AND DEPLOY to deploy your application or a package with the necessary design objects. Be sure to include the AIA deployment document from the AI Document Center application in your deployment. This is the file that determines which models will be deployed.

Once deployed to the higher environment, DocCenter runs a post-deployment process model which processes the AI Deployment doc and makes the necessary database updates.

Deploying manually

If you don't use Compare and Deploy and instead deploy your applications manually, then the post-deployment process model won't run automatically. To trigger the post-deployment process manually:

1. Open the DocCenter application in your target environment.
2. Open Deployment page.
3. Click RUN DEPLOYMENT.
