App Builds

When you deploy a new Flogo application, an app build is created with a unique ID. This app build is listed in the App Builds section on the capability page. You can reuse an app build to deploy the same application with different configurations. To reuse an app build, click the icon, in the Import App build dialog, drag and drop your app build archive to the designated area or click browse to upload to locate the archive on your system and click Import.

Note: You cannot import an app build in a data plane if the app build with the same unique build ID already exists in that data plane. You can import the app build into other data planes.

Additionally, you can export the .flogo application JSON file or the application executable of the selected app build. Later, you can import the app build into TIBCO Flogo® Extension for Visual Studio Code to edit the implementation and create its new version.

The App Builds section displays the following information:

Item Description
Name The app build's name.
ID The app build's ID. Each app build has a unique ID.
Created By

The name of the user who created the app build.

Created

The timestamp when the build is created.

Tags

The tags added to the app build. Using tags for your applications enhances searchability and categorization.

Click the icon to view, add, edit, or delete tags.

Included Connectors

The Flogo Connectors used in the app build.

Click to delete the app build.

Note: You cannot delete an app build that has at least one app in usage.

The shortcut menu has the following options:

  • Check Usage: Click to view which apps are using the selected app build, including the version, app name, namespace, and status.

  • Deploy: Click to deploy an app either by using Flogo Provisioner or Helm Charts with a different set of configurations. You can specify a new app name, existing or new namespace, application tags, resource allocation, and choose to enable or disable the auto scaling configuration. For more information, see Deploying an App Build.

  • Export Flogo File: Click to export the .flogo application JSON file of the selected app build.

  • Export App Build: Click to export the application executable of the selected app build. The exported .zip file contains the following files:

    • flogo-engine: The binary executable for the platform build.

    • app-props: A JSON file containing the app properties.

    • build: A JSON file containing information about the data plane, app, base deployment, and contributions.

    • endpoints: A JSON file containing information about endpoints.

    • <appname>.flogo: The Flogo app file.
