Deploy the Process Model

After you create and test the process model, it must be deployed. When the process model is deployed, all object event handlers are mapped to custom and standard objects in the database and are ready for execution when an event occurs in B2C Service.

Before you start

Because of the changes at the database level, it is important that you test the process model before deploying it. See Best Practices for Testing Object Event Handler Scripts for information about potential issues and best practices when creating and testing object event handler scripts.

To assist you with testing, export and import functionality is available so you can test the process model on a test site before deploying it to a production site. See Export the Process Model and Import the Process Model.

Here's what to do

1. Click Configuration on the navigation pane.
2. Expand Site Configuration, then double-click Process Designer.
   Note: Before you deploy the process model, we recommend that you first review the object event handlers to confirm that no additional changes are needed.
3. Click Deploy on the ribbon.
4. Enter the email addresses in the Email Address field to which you want to send notifications.
   Addresses entered in this field receive emails when deployment completes or when an issue preventing deployment is encountered. The logged-in staff account’s email address is automatically added.

   Note: Multiple addresses must be separated by commas.
5. Click Deploy.
   A message informs you that you are about to deploy the server process model, which disables the process designer until the deployment is complete.
6. Click Yes to close the message and start the deployment.
   A message notifies you when the deployment is finished and that the process designer will be refreshed.
7. Click OK to close the message and return to the process designer.
8. Click Save.
