Managing Application Deployment Profiles

Deployment Profiles offer a structured and repeatable approach to application deployment across environments. These profiles act as configuration blueprints, encapsulating environment-specific settings, deployment methods, and pre/post-deployment actions. By leveraging profiles, teams can:

• Ensure consistent and automated deployments.

• Simplify environment management.

• Reduce deployment errors.

• Streamline the application lifecycle from testing to production.

Creating and Managing Profiles

To create a deplyment profile for an application:

1. Navigate to the application for which you want to create a deployment profile.

2. Click the Profiles icon. The Profiles side panel appears.

3. Click Create Profile. The Profile modal

1. Navigate to Deployment Profiles

• Open the Deployment Profiles panel from the application’s deployment toolbar.

2. Add a New Profile

• Click Add Profile

• Fill in:

  • Name (e.g., Dev, Prod)

  • Environment (Development, Production)

  • Description (optional)

Note: Only users with the "create deployment profile" permission can create profiles.

3. Set as Default (Optional)

• Enable "Use this profile as default" for the environment.

Requires "set default deployment profile" permission.

4. Load Variables & Workflows

• Variables and workflows are auto-loaded from the latest deployment.

• If no data is available, profile creation is blocked with a "No Data Found" message.

5. Save the Profile

• Click Save to persist the profile.

Configuring Variables

Add Variables

• Go to the Variables tab and click Add Variable.

• Provide:

  • Name

  • Scope: Application, Deployment, or Client

  • Value (editable for Deployment and Client scopes only)

  • Description (optional)

---

Configuring Logging (In Development)

1. Enable "Log All Activities"

• Logs all activities when toggled ON.

• If OFF, logging is configurable at app/workflow levels.

2. Application-Level Logging

• Configure log behavior per activity type (e.g., RESTService, Start):

  • Always Logged

  • Log Input

  • Log Output

3. Workflow-Specific Logging

• Add workflows and configure logging on individual activities.

---

Configuring Permissions

• Navigate to the Permissions tab.

• The profile creator gets View, Edit, and Delete permissions by default.

• Editors can add users or teams with specific permissions.

---

Syncing with Latest Deployment

• Users with Edit permission can sync the profile to pull updated variables/workflows from the latest deployment version.

---

Using Profiles in Test Page

• Add the X-Profile-Name header when testing a RESTService-triggered workflow.

• This allows test execution with a specific deployment profile.

---

Recent Behavior Changes

• Profile selection is no longer available in the deployment modal.

• All executions must specify the profile at runtime via header configuration.

---

Important Considerations

• Only RestService Trigger workflows support Deployment Profiles.

• All subflows executed as part of the workflow inherit the profile context.

• Secret variables are masked and stored securely using Key Vaults.
