How to give Naming Conventions in webMethods Deployer?

Lots of people knows how to deploy but people don't know what are names we have to give for SET, BUILD, MAP and DEPLOY. Most of the people will give default names like myDeploymentSet1, myBuild1, myDeploymentMap1 and myDeployment1 but these are wrong.


I will explain you how to give names in a wmDeployer.

Project Name: Give the meaningful name which contain Serial number with project name and date.

Deployment Set: Simply name the Deployment Set according to the type of deployment it contains, e.g. IS or MWS. 

Build: A meaningful name would contain a version number for the build. Just see the previous versions of build can exist or not. A new version number is only needed, if you plan to revert to an older version later. If you only have minor changes to deploy, you can simply re-build the existing version.

Deployment Map: You can define mappings for different target servers or groups. Therefore, the target’s name should be contained in the map’s name.

Deployment Candidate: A Deployment Candidate is simply the combination of a Build and a Deployment Map. This should be reflected in the candidate’s name so you can quickly deploy a specific build to a specific target.

Let me Know if anything Wrong... :)

  1. Thank you very much for these bits of information about webMethods! Even though I've been reading the official documentation, and also other information on the internet, I was still lacking much of the understanding that you've provided here. Thank you for these essential facts.
