Types of deployment packages


You can create and customize a codeless application in the following environments:

  • In a Developer Sandbox environment which you can provision yourself at developers.bmc.com
  • In a Tailoring environment, one of the three provided to customers who purchase BMC Helix Platform

After you create a codeless application, you can create an Install package for fresh installations of the application.  An Update package is used for applying incremental updates to existing applications in an environment. Additionally, when you customize an application that you have purchased, you can create a content package to manage moving your changes and data from one environment to the next. 

The following image provides information about the different types of packages that you can create:
