====== Deployment of a Process model from iGrafx ====== 

In order for a process model to be successfully integrated into iPA and be ready to use, it first has to be deployed or uploaded.

Once the process model has been validated, from the Automation menu the user has the choice of either: \\
  ***Deploy Model**
  ***Download Deployment File**

----

==== Direct Deployment of a Process model ==== 

To Deploy without exporting beforehand, choose **Deploy Model**.  You will be prompted to enter: \\
  ***Automation Deployment URL**
  ***Username**
  ***Password**

For the **Automation Deployment URL** use the following URL: 
 	<code>​http://<​server><:​port>/​loom-portal/​Deploy.iGrafx</code>
If the process should not be immediately activated, this may be designated by adding the suffix **?​publish=false**.  
 	<code>http://<​server><:​port>/​loom-portal/​Deploy.iGrafx?​publish=false</code> 

---- 

==== Download and Manual Deployment of a Process Model ====

To Deploy manually, you must download the model definition to a .zip file.  To do this choose **Download Deployment File**.  You will be prompted to save a .zip file to a file location.

Once the .zip file has been created, the Deploy-interface is used to deploy a process model in iPA. The interface can be called under:
<code> http://<​server>:<​port>​/​loom-portal/​deploy.htm </code>
\\
The Process definition itself must have either the appropriate ​[[en:software:tim:user_profile_properties|user]] or one of its [[en:software:tim:user_profile_properties|groups]] listed as the [[en:software:tim:roles|deployer]]. Additionally, this user or group must have the role of [[en:software:tim:roles|deployer]] in TIM. Also, the process definition has to be passed to TIM as either a .zip file or as a bpmn file.\\

<note tip>An SVG Graphic for a bpmn is optional. A zip-file already contains a graphic and therefore a graphic does not need to be added </note> \\

----
\\ 
Should the process still require configuring within the [[en:software:tim:processrepository|ProcessRepository]] before being deployed, then the check-box marked **Publish process automatically** can be deactivated. 
<note tip> If the option is deactivated, it will appear only in the final deployment.</note>

----
\\
A confirmation message will be shown after the deployment procedure has been executed successfully (without any problems).

==== Error and Correction ==== 

If an error occurs a message will be shown.  If the process definition can not be deployed, the following points should be addressed before contacting support for help: \\
  * Is the user correctly entered or is the [[en:software:tim:tim.properties#​default-client|Client]] missing?
  * Is the password entered correctly of is the [[en:software:tim:userprofil_profile|LDAP Authentifcation]] on/off?
  * Is the correct user/group used entered as the deployer?​
  * Does the user have **deployer** [[roles| rights]]?​
  * Are all of the groups correctly entered into the characteristics of the process model?
