Packaging and deployment

The ability to create versions (we call them snapshots) and branches is not a new concept in development. In Business Automation Studio, we provide a built-in version control system so automation developers can be productive on the first day. To use that, we can go to the details page of the selected workflow automation to create new versions and branches:

Figure 7.56 – Managing Versions and Branches for workflow automation

In addition, it is also possible to share the workflow automation project by exporting a particular version of it from the Versions tab:

Figure 7.57 – Exporting workflow automation package

Once you have the version exported, the automation developers can then share it with others or for deployment into other workflow systems.

Now let’s move on to the advanced topics of escalation, exception handling, and later, troubleshooting.
