2.5. Building and deploying a project in Business Central

Procedure

1. In Business Central, go to Menu Design Projects and click the project name.

2. In the upper-right corner, click Deploy to build the project and deploy it to a KIE Server. To compile the project without deploying it to KIE Server, click Build.

   注記

   You can also select the Build & Install option to build the project and publish the KJAR file to the configured Maven repository without deploying to a KIE Server. In a development environment, you can click Deploy to deploy the built KJAR file to a KIE Server without stopping any running instances (if applicable), or click Redeploy to deploy the built KJAR file and replace all instances. The next time you deploy or redeploy the built KJAR, the previous deployment unit (KIE container) is automatically updated in the same target KIE Server. In a production environment, the Redeploy option is disabled and you can click Deploy only to deploy the built KJAR file to a new deployment unit (KIE container) on a KIE Server.

   To configure the KIE Server environment mode, set the org.kie.server.mode system property to org.kie.server.mode=development or org.kie.server.mode=production. To configure the deployment behavior for a corresponding project in Business Central, go to project Settings General Settings Version and toggle the Development Mode option. By default, KIE Server and all new projects in Business Central are in development mode. You cannot deploy a project with Development Mode turned on or with a manually added SNAPSHOT version suffix to a KIE Server that is in production mode.

   If only one KIE Server is connected to Business Central, or if all connected KIE Servers are in the same server configuration, the services in the project are started automatically in a deployment unit (KIE container).

   If multiple server configurations are available, a deployment dialog is displayed in Business Central, prompting you to specify server and deployment details.

3. If the deployment dialog appears, verify or set the following values:

   • Deployment Unit Id / Deployment Unit Alias: Verify the name and alias of the deployment unit (KIE container) running the service within the KIE Server. You normally do not need to change these settings. For more information about KIE container aliases, see 「KIE container aliases」.
   • Server Configuration: Select the server configuration for deploying this project. You can later deploy it to other configured servers without rebuilding the project.
   • Start Deployment Unit?: Verify that this box is selected to start the deployment unit (KIE container). If you clear this box, the service is deployed onto the server but not started.

   To review project deployment details, click View deployment details in the deployment banner at the top of the screen or in the Deploy drop-down menu. This option directs you to the Menu Deploy Execution Servers page.
