Inspect the Deployment

The third step of a direct deployment using Compare and Deploy is the Inspect the Deployment step. Here, Appian checks the items in your package for security warnings, failing test cases, and missing precedents and highlights them for your review. This step eliminates most manual checks and helps you identify and resolve issues with the objects in your package.

Inspection only applies to Appian objects, application configurations, and the import customization file (ICF). Database scripts and plug-ins must be reviewed separately before deployment. If a database script or plug-in fails during deployment, Appian will attempt to reverse those changes. For more information on resolving problems with your deployment, see the deployment log.

Deployment errors

Before you can review any inspection results, you may encounter deployment errors. If present, these errors interrupt inspection and block it from continuing until they are resolved. A deployment error represents a breaking issue in an object definition that, if not resolved, will result in an incomplete deployment. Address the issues in the grid before continuing your inspection.

To learn more about fixing errors and issues with your deployment, see Resolve Deployment Errors.

To inspect your deployment:

1. If there are no issues to resolve, click NEXT to continue to the review deployment step.
2. If there are any warnings for security or test cases, click Review and resolve the issues.
3. If there are any missing precedents, select the missing object and click ADD TO PACKAGE.
   • If you are deploying multiple packages, clicking ADD TO PACKAGE automatically adds the missing objects to all packages affected by the missing precedent.
