Deploy a Robot to a Higher Environment

After you finish local testing, create a deployment package that contains a robot and its integration. Import the deployment package into a higher environment, such as test or production.

Use Cases

You have several opportunities to deploy to a test or production environment:

  • Many organizations deploy to a testing environment to simulate real-world usage.

  • Additionally, everyone should deploy to a production environment when you're ready to go live.

Prerequisites

Before deploying to a higher environment, ensure that the robot is error free and runs successfully. See Workflow for Building a Robot and Workflow for Testing a Robot.

Workflow for Deploying to a Higher Environment

  1. Create a deployment package that contains the robot and its integration.

    See Create and Manage a Project Deployment in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

  2. Export the project deployment.

    See Export a Project in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

  3. Import the project deployment into the higher environment.

    See Create or Import a Project in Using Integrations in Oracle Integration 3.

How Import Changes Your Components

The import process makes the following changes:

  • The robot's status changes to Draft.

  • The connection details in all robot connections are removed.

  • All environments are removed from the environment pools.
