Deploying codeless applications
With BMC Helix Platform you can manage releasing your own custom built codeless applications and libraries including new version updates at your own pace or according to the release cadence.
To build codeless applications and libraries, start by creating an install or update package either in the Developer Sandbox or in the tailoring environment. You can then self deploy installation packages and update packages in the BMC Helix Platform for each environment such as Developer Sandbox, Tailoring environment, QA environment, and Production environment.
Using the deployment capability in BMC Helix Innovation Studio allows you to:
- Deploy and upgrade codeless bundles in a few clicks without depending on developers, requiring an IDE, or using an antiquated command line tool to deploy.
Consider the following information for deploying bundles:- In a shared system, on a tailoring environment, you can deploy bundles that belong to your tenancy only.
For example, for Calbro Services, you cannot deploy bundles that belong to ABC Software. - In a dedicated system, on test and production environments, you can deploy bundles from your tenancy or any other tenancy as well.
For example, for Calbro Services, you can deploy bundles that belong to ABC Software.
- In a shared system, on a tailoring environment, you can deploy bundles that belong to your tenancy only.
- Move definitions and data for bundles from one environment to the next.
- Deploy and upgrade codeless bundles in any environment you choose.
- Release at a regular cadence of your choice or release immediately at any time when your new bundle or new version is ready.
Administrators and developers can create install packages, update packages, and export packages from the BMC Helix Innovation Studio. Once you provide the package to the Administrator, he or she can then self deploy the new bundle or new version to the next environment of choice. After an application is deployed, only the application developer and an administrator can view the application.
Note
The administrator can use the containerrolepermission REST API to provide access to users as well as remove access from specific users for any licensed application. For information about the containerrolepermission REST API, see Platform REST API Documentation.
