Prepare to deploy a ViewApp

You can deploy and test your objects at any time during development. When you are ready to test or run a ViewApp in production, you deploy the Galaxy. You can see what your application looks like in the Deployment view or Model view of the System Platform IDE. Both views show you the structure of your application.

The Deployment view provides the simplest way to understand the object hierarchy during deployment. Objects appear in a hierarchical tree structure according to their distribution relationships.

• The top of the tree is the Galaxy.

• WinPlatforms are shown under the Galaxy.

• AppEngines are under each WinPlatform.

• Under each AppEngine, assigned Areas and device integration (DI) objects, such as OPCClient objects, are listed.

• Assigned application objects are listed under each Area.

• Under each application object, contained application objects are listed. Multiple levels are allowed.

• Communication Drivers are listed under the device integration object to which they are assigned.

• Unassigned objects are placed in the Unassigned Area folder. Area and containment relationships are maintained in this view.
