Deployment-Directory

Our file based deployment mechanism makes the deployment very easy: As soon as you drop a file in the deployment directory, the deployment is started immediately if the Axon Ivy Engine is running. Otherwise, the deployment is executed after the engine has started.

Hint

There are sub-directories in the deployment directory for each application. The project can be copied to the corresponding sub-directory. You can also create a sub-directory manually. In this case, a new application will be created. Alternatively, the project can also be placed in the deployment directory itself. It is then deployed into the application with the same name as the filename.

This is an alternate approach to automate a CI/CD pipeline compared to REST-API. It is always platform-dependent on which the Axon Ivy Engine is running. Furthermore you need to verify if the deployment was succesful or not by checking the generated log files in the deployment directory:

File suffix	Description
.deployed	Last deployed file to the engine in case of a successful deployment
.notDeployed	Last not deployed file to the engine in case of error while deployment
.deploymentLog	Contains the log output which is written during the deployment
.deploymentError	Contains the error cause and is only written when the deployment fails
