Deployment Definitions

Deployment Definitions are analogous to assembly definitions, but associated with deployable assets.

They allow you to group a set of deployable assets or code into a logical grouping and associate settings with them. You can use this grouping for easier deployment in the Deployment window.

By default, all assets are assigned to the Default Deployment Definition.

Each folder can have only one Deployment Definition. However, subfolders can also contain other Deployment Definitions. All deployable assets inside a folder are assigned to the Deployment Definition in the folder. If a sub-folder doesn't contain a Deployment Definition, any deployable assets are assigned to the Deployment Definition in the parent folder.

Create Deployment Definitions

To create a Deployment Definition in a folder, right-click on the Project window, then select Create > Deployment Defintion.

Modify Deployment Definitions

You can modify Deployment Definitions in the Inspector. To open the Deployment Definition in the Inspector, select the Deployment Definition in the Project window. You can also open it in your preferred IDE from the Project window (right-click > Open).

To locate a Deployment Definition in the Project window, right-click it in the Deployment window and choose Select in Project window in the context menu.

Deploy Deployment Definitions

The Deployment window displays Deployment Definitions and all their associated assets.

To deploy a Deployment Definition select it and click Deploy Selected, or right-click and select the Deploy context menu item.
