Deploying to a local folder is the default build action in Workflow Studio. This action copies your workflows, activities, class libraries and other development objects to the _PublishedItems folder on your own machine but makes no changes to the EmpowerID SQL database. From here you can share the folder with other developers as well as test your work locally. When ready to deploy to a folder on your workstation, click the Deployment Services button on the Common ribbon to open the Deployment tool and then select the items you want to build. Next, select Build. For more information, see Batch Deploy to a local folder.

Publish to an EmpowerID Environment

When you are ready to deploy your development work to a testing or production environment, you log in to the EmpowerID Web interface for that environment as a user with the appropriate access to run the PublishWorkflowStudioItem workflow and upload the .pub file for the workflows or other objects you want to publish. Once the workflow completes the publishing process, your work is available to users in the environment. For more information, see Deploy to EmpowerID Environment.

Create and update manifest files

Manifest files contain metadata that describe all development objects required for a specific application. Manifest files are stored in the project folder containing the application. To create a manifest, click the Deployment Services button on the Common ribbon to open the Deployment tool and then click New Manifest. Next, select all the objects needed for the application and save it to file. After you create a manifest, you can update it as needed, adding and removing items from the manifest and rearrange the build order of items to match application dependencies. For more information on creating and updating manifest files, see Create manifests and Edit manifests.

Package for Deployment

If you have created custom items or updated objects in EmpowerID that need to be deployed, you can create a simple deployment file from your manifests that can then be handed off. To do so, you open the appropriate manifest file in Workflow Studio and then click Package for Deployment. Workflow Studio creates a .deploy file, which is basically a ZIP file that contains all the objects in your manifest. For more information, see Package manifest for deployment.
