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.
