Deployment

On This Page

Purpose

The Deployment page in the Admin Console allows you to manage settings related to deployment of applications between environments.

Access

To access the Deployment page, go to the Admin Console. Then, in the left navigation menu, under DevOps, click Deployment.

Settings

The Deployment page allows you to manage the following settings:

Allow test values to be imported with design objects

When enabled, test values saved in interface and expression rules are imported along with those objects. When not selected, interfaces and expression rules have their test values removed on import.

Allow database schema changes through data stores

When enabled, automatic database schema updates will occur on data type update and data store import for appropriately configured data stores. When disabled, data stores' automatic database schema update configurations will be ignored, and automatic updates will never occur.

Note: Warning: Before enabling this setting, check with your database administrator to see if it is acceptable for Appian to automatically run DDL statements in this environment. If Appian does not have DDL privileges on the database level, automatic schema updates will fail, even if this feature is enabled.

Automatically create packages for releases in incoming deployments

When deployed, objects in this deployment will be grouped by their associated release and combined into one genrated package per modified application.

So if for instance your release is associated with packages that contain objects from multiple applications, one package is generated for the release in each of the applications that were updated by the deployment.
