i4designer Project deployment
Check out this article and learn more details about the deployment options provided to you by the i4designer environment.
The projects created on the i4designer environment can be published on or off premise servers or devices, in multiple ways. As described in the Builds management article, currently, the i4designer environment offers three deployment methods.
To open the Deployments area the user can click on the Deployments menu in the global actions area of the i4designer.

The Deployments menu
The i4designer Deployments page is split up in two panels, as follows:
The Profiles panel displays the build profile settings allowing the user to organise the following actions:
The Profiles panel
Add a new profile - By clicking the Add button a new profile is added to the list view.
The Add new profile button
At the left side the Build profile panel is opened, allowing the user to proceed with the profile settings:
The Build profile panel
apiBaseUrl - the URL of the web server location, used when calling the project publish target.
description - the build profile description.
name - the build profile name.
projectTitle - the name of the project involved in the build process. This field is automatically filled in by the system.
Set a listed build profile as Default - by marking the Default checkbox the selected Profile is set as default.
Set as default Profile
Note
Profiles enabled as Default will be applied and useable in the following areas:
under the Builds panel of the Builds menu
under the Builds panel of the Deployments menu
The Default profile
Trigger a new project build - by clicking the Trigger build button a new build is started. The new triggered build is added to the Builds panel.
The Trigger build button
Remove a listed Build profile - by clicking the Remove button, the user can delete a redunant Profile from the list view.
When removing a Default profile, the next Profile in the list is automatically set as Default.
The Remove profile button
Note
The Profile list cannot be empty, hence the system will restrict the Remove operation when the user tries to delete a Profile, when no others are available in the list.
Error message - "Profile list cannot be empty"
The Builds panel displays the complete list of builds processed for one project. Each listed project build provides the user with the following options:
The Builds panel
Download the project build for on premise use, by clicking the Download button
Deploy and publish the project via FTP, by clicking the Publish over FTP button
Remove obsolete project builds, by clicking the Delete button
. To proceed with removal of a certain build, the user needs to confirm the deletion operation, in the panel opened at the left side of the screen.
