Understanding Application Posting and Deploying

[edit] Procedure

To deploy an application (this procedure assumes you have an existing solution to deploy):

  1. Add an AppProject to the solution.
  2. Add a Page to the AppProject (a solution must contain at least one page before it can be deployed).
  3. Drag the application's main form onto the page (you may need to edit the page first to accommodate the form).
  4. Set the Main Page for Application property.
    1. In the Solution Explorer, select the AppProject.
    2. In the Property Editor, click the ellipsis button for the Main Page for Application property.
    3. In the dialog box that's displayed, expand the AppProject and select the main page for the application.
  5. Check in the solution. All elements of the solution must be checked in before you can deploy it. The status of each element is indicated by a symbol to the right of the icon:
    • Nothing indicates the item is checked in and up-to-date.
    • A green plus (+) indicates the item has not been checked in.
    • A green check mark indicates the item is checked out by you.
    • A yellow triangle means your copy is out of date--a sync is required.
    • A red check mark indicates the item is checked out by someone else.
  6. Posting the application.
    1. At the top of Bungee Builder, click the Staging tab.
    2. Under Depot, expand the DesignGroup that contains your application, then select AppProject: your app name.
    3. Click Post.
    4. In the dialog that's displayed,
      1. in Application Name, type a name for the application.
      2. In Version, type a version number for the posted application (such as 1.0).
      3. Click OK.
  7. Deploy the application.
    1. Under Production, expand the DesignGroup that contains your application, expand the AppProject, then select the version of the application you want to deploy.
    2. Click Deploy.
    3. In the dialog box that's displayed, do the following:
      1. Assign a name and version number to the deployed application (by default, the name and version number you assigned when you posted the application is used).
      2. Manage the URL
        1. If you would like to use the long Bungee URL, leave the URL field as is. If you would like to use a URL managed by you, enter that URL here (e.g., bungee.mydomain.com, www.mydomain.com, mydomain.com/bungee, etc.).
        2. If you would like to use a URL managed by you for deployment, update the DNS for the domain with a C-Name record that points to run.bungeelabs.com. See Managing a Deployed Application for more information
    4. Click OK.
