Build | Generate the source and build the sources |
Build and Deploy | Generate the source, build the source and register with Fiorano Enterprise Server |
Building the Microservice
To build the component created, execute the command ant
in the component directory. This compiles the source files, builds the required archives and creates a file export.zip containing all the files /details required for the components. export.zip can be imported using FSSM or Studio, for details regarding importing of a business component refer the Deploying in Enterprise Server section.
Deploying the Microservice
Deploying the component means registering the component on a Fiorano Enterprise Server. Any component created before it can be used in developing event process(s) has to be registered with the Fiorano Enterprise Server.
Deployment can be done in the command prompt or eStudio as explained in the following sections.
Command Prompt
