Hi,
Let’s take Activity templates as an example.
First you get the Basic dataset from Deployment into your test or develop application. Since this will be the source of your OTAP distribution line.
Best practise is to subscribe to this dataset in Deployment.
Subscribe to a dataset
Click on this dataset > Subscriptions > and add your test/dev application to the list.
Then go to your application > Subscriptions > select the dataset you want to install and click on:
A new installation will be added with the type: datasets.
Important note: when you already started an application update, the dataset will be added to this installation.
When you have the export in your application you can start preparing it for Otap distribution.
Prepare OTAP Datasets
Go to Exportdefinitions > [Basis][Ind] Export individueel Activiteitsjabloon > [edit]
Set Save to app server to yes
The overview “Export to deployment” will appear
Click on + to create your specific dataset - think about the Naming convention you want to use.
- Fill in the Description (fi: Activiteitsjabloon - Opdrachtbevestiging naar klant (Weborder)
- Fill in the Filename in Deployment (could be the same as description)
- Click on Add new data source.
Safe
Now go to the parameter and click op Generate.
Edit the New Value to make your selection which activity template(s) you want to be part of the dataset.
Once you have your export in Deployment, you can add your Acceptance and Production applications as subscriptions. See Subscribe to a dataset in this article.
