note

This feature is currently in preview and only available to selected users. Go to Deploying integrations for instructions for all users.

caution
  • Never export/import system or global settings, users or user groups between environments.
  • Never leave any uncompiled or uncompilable entities in your RegTest or Production systems. This will cause unnecessary downtime during system upgrade.
  • Configure regression tests when possible.
  • Do not deploy to Production environment without first deploying to the RegTest environment.

Create deployment package​

  • Log on to your Development environment and export your entities to an IEO file. We recommend you store the IEO in common storage as described in using common storage.

Run regression tests​

  • Run your regression tests. Resolve any errors before deploying the new deployment package.
  • Log on to your RegTest environment.
  • Perform a full system export (Optional).
  • Import the IEO which was exported from the Development environment.
  • Edit entities, such as passwords and endpoints.
  • Compile all entities.
  • Restart the iCore system (Optional).
  • Stop the iCore system and log off.
  • Run your regression tests again. Resolve any errors before continuing.

Deploy to production​

  • Log on to your Production environment.
  • Perform a full system export (Optional).
  • Import the IEO which was exported from the Development environment.
  • Edit entities, such as passwords and endpoints.
  • Compile all entities.
  • Restart the iCore system (Optional).
