Publishing, deploying, and upgrading app projects

Publishing app projects

To publish an app project:

1. Select the Publish button at the top of the project designer.
2. In the Publish automation window, enter a name and a description for your automation, and select a version.

3. Select Publish.

You can then access your published app after deploying it in Orchestrator.

Note:

• App projects can only be published to the Orchestrator Tenant Processes Feed, not to the Orchestrator Personal Workspace Feed.
• To publish an app project, you need to have tenant-level permissions to create packages. To learn more, refer to App permissions in the Orchestrator guide.

Deploying app projects

To deploy a published app project, navigate to Orchestrator and:

1. Select the Orchestrator folder where you want to deploy your project.
2. Select Automations, and then open the Apps page. Here you can see each app project's name, version, description, and its associated process. You can also select the project name under the App project column to open the app in Studio Web.
3. Select Deploy app.
4. From the App drop-down menu, choose the app project you want to deploy, as well as the version from the Version column, then select Deploy. Your published app project is now deployed in the selected folder.

After deployment, your app appears under the Apps column.

See the Orchestrator guide for more information on deploying app projects and managing processes.

Note:

• The recommended Cloud Robot - Serverless configuration for apps in Studio Web is Medium. You can change this setting from the Processes page, or while deploying your app.

• Deploying an app project to a different tenant than the one where development took place is only supported via Solutions Management.
• Deploying an app project to an existing folder with its own package feed is currently not supported. We recommend using Solutions Management to deploy to folders that are specific to the automation.

Upgrading app projects

When you publish a new version of an app project, an Updates are available icon appears under the Version column in Orchestrator. To upgrade your published project:

1. Click the button on the right of the project.
2. Click Upgrade to latest version.
3. In the new window, select Upgrade.

Upgrading a deployed app project works in a similar way:

1. Locate the project in your Orchestrator folder (under Automations > Processes >

   Apps).

2. Select the button to the right of the process and select Upgrade to latest version.
3. In the Update package version window, select the Confirm button.

Removing app projects

To remove a published app project:

1. Locate the project in your Orchestrator folder (under Automations > Apps).
2. Click the button on the right of the project and select Remove.
3. Select Delete in the resulting window.

Important: Deleting an app project also deletes all the workflows used in the project. Do not delete the workflows used in your app project, as this causes errors. If you delete a workflow by accident, you can remove the app project and deploy it again.
