Starting deployment

1. Access the "Project -> Deploy" menu, available on the top menu.

It is possible to start the deployment outside the project, through the drop-down menu:

2. Select the project applications that will be deployed.

If you choose to select applications, a screen will be displayed showing all of the project's applications, allowing you to define which applications will be deployed.

 

3. Select the type of deployment to be carried out, in this article we continue with the Typical option.

In case you need more information about advanced deploy, check out our documentation about advanced deploy, or go to How to perform advanced deploy.

4. Next, the files that will be sent to your server must be defined.

If this is your first publication, check the options: Publish with production environment and Publish with common files.

When selecting the Publish with production environment option, two new options will be displayed

1. Publish with FusionChart maps - This option defines if the files referring to the FusionChats Maps library (maps.js) will be sent in the deployment. It must be checked if your project uses any map resource.
2. Operating Systems - This option is mandatory and defines the sending of wkhtmltopdf and phantomjs files based on your operating system, thus reducing the size of the generated file. Select the operating system where your project will be deployed.

See more details about the available options in Typical deploy documentation.

After selecting the options, click on "Next"

 

5. In the final stage of deployment, it is necessary to define the format in which the deployment will be carried out. Choose the desired format for your deployment and click on "Next".

Generating the ZIP with the applications (recommended): At the end of the process will be provided a link to download the deployment package.

Note: This option is recommended as it is the least dependent on other services to be performed.

Deployment on a server directory: Deploy the applications in the directory  informed. This option should only be used if the deployment is made in the same server where the ScriptCase is installed, otherwise the option will not be valid.

If Scriptcase can't find a folder named "teste", an alert screen will be displayed asking for this folder to be created.

Deploy on FTP server: Automatically deploy the applications on a remote FTP server.

Note: To use this option it is necessary to have a server that has FTP access and a user with write permissions in the same folder.

Select the option you would like to deploy and click on "Next". For this example we will use the option "Deploy on a server directory".

6. At the end of the process, a report of the deployment applications will be displayed along with download links, both for the project and for the common libraries, which are the necessary routines for running the applications in a production environment, which is why it is mandatory that they be taken together to the deployment package.

It is important to wait for the deployment process to end and download the file through the interface, to ensure that all applications and libraries were correctly generated and included in the file.

Creating the connection

In the next step, we will create the connection.

Step 1:  Access your app through the browser at the following address eg: 127.0.0.8092/folder/app_name. You will see a screen like the image below informing that no connection was found. Please click on "Create connection" button to be redirected to the production environment.

Step 2:   The first time you enter the production environment, the password is "scriptcase".

 

On the next screen you will have to set a new password to enter the "production environment".

 Step 3: On the next screen you will have to define a new password to enter the "production environment".

 

Step 4: Upon entering the production environment, you will see your connections, click on them and continue the configuration process.

 

Step 5: In this step we choose the DBMS, the database we use in the application.

Step 6: We will inform the Database Server, in ours as the database is on the same machine as the applications, we can call it through ' localhost ', if the database is on another server it can be called through the machine name or IP number, we will inform also the Login and Password to access the database (if any).

Note: For the example, the MySQL database was used.

Step 7: The last step will be to access the application through the browser.
