#1052 - OIC Project Deployment

Introduction

This post is based on a conversation with my esteemed colleague, Harris Q. Here I look at the basics of project deployment.

Basic Use Case

Here I have 2 integrations, one connection and a lookup. The lookup is currently not used in either of the integrations.

I create a deployment - 

Export - 

Import into a different OIC Instance -

Note: the Lookup is not included, as it is not used by any integration - 

Now back to my "source" project; here I add a new integration that uses the lookup -

I then create a new deployment - 

I export and then import to my "target" project - 

I check out the Deploy page of my "target" project -

I check out the Design page -

Back to the "source" project where I make a minor change to an integration, upping the minor version number -

I now create a new deployment - 

I export and then import to my "target" - 

I check out the "target" project -

Summa Summarum

As you can see, deployments can support an iterative development process. Importing a deployment always adds to a project; it never causes the deletion of any integrations.
