What types of deployment packages can I create?

You can create three different deployment packages:

  • Full package—Deployment package that contains everything needed to deploy a complete study, including study administration data.

    If you create or modify a coding map, use a full deployment package to deploy the changes. Changes to coding maps are not supported in incremental deployment packages.

  • Incremental package—Deployment package that contains everything needed to deploy a complete study, including study administration data, plus additions and changes to the study, reflected in Alternate forms in the Oracle InForm application. Alternate forms are not created when you install an incremental deployment package that contains additions to repeating forms, fixed repeating sections (Repeating Data itemsets in the Oracle InForm application), or dynamic grid sections.
  • Administration data—Deployment package that contains only study administration data.

Full and incremental deployment packages both contain the definitions for every study object in the study.
