Managing Components

Deployment of the Xpress Workbench Component follows the standard process for deploying a FICO^® Platform component.

No configuration is required during the deployment process.

Deploying a Component

Components are available for deployment as an archetype in the CATALOG. These are added to your Solution.

1. Open the Solution that will host the Component and navigate to the CATALOG page.
2. Locate the archetype instance you want to install. Your administrator may have added several versions of a component. Click the ADD button below your chosen item.
   Note: Depending on the component you select, you may see an intermediate Overview screen displayed - In this case, click the ADD button on that screen.

3. In the Describe Component dialog, perform the following steps:
   1. Enter the Component name. Optionally add a Component description.
   2. Select the Solution that will host the Component. Either choose an existing solution from the drop down selector, or create a new solution by adding a name.

      

4. Click SAVE. The component is copied to the solution.
5. In the FICO^® Platform pages, click SOLUTIONS. In the leftmost side menu, click Components.
   A progress bar displays the status of the publishing process.

Successfully provisioned components are displayed in the list of components. Immediately next to the component name is an arrow icon.

Either click the Component Name or select the down arrow to display the menu, then select Configure. In the Configure Components window, click Launch Xpress Workbench to open the published component.

Use the drop-down menu available from the icon next to the Component Name to modify the Component settings.

The settings relevant to Xpress Workbench are shown below.

Component Settings

Configure	Launch the Xpress Workbench Component.
View Links	Displays the web links used logging in, or when connecting to a selected environment via SOAP or REST.
Edit Properties	Change the Name or Description assigned to the Component.
Publish	Links in this menu item enable management of the development life cycle, you can Submit , Change Status , and Deploy the Component.
Manage Team	Administer which platform users have access to the Component. For more see Managing Team Members in the Component. Administer the permissions a user has when using a Component, see Set the Team Members Component Role for more.
Upgrade	This option is available if an updated version of the Component is available in the Catalog. You will also see an Upgrade icon next to the Component name in your Solution. Component upgrades cannot be rolled back, ensure you fully test the upgrade using your data before upgrading your live environment.
View History	Display the changes made to the Component. Click this link at any time to see which version of the Component is in which environment, and when new versions were created.
View Documentation	Links to the online version of the Xpress Workbench Documentation.
Delete	Components can be removed from a Solution.

Deleting a Component

You may need to delete a Component after it has successfully been exported and imported into a new target environment.

1. Use the drop-down menu available from the icon next to the Component name and select Delete.
2. Confirm the deletion in the dialog box, click DELETE.

Importing a Component

The target environment must be specified when a Component is exported. Previously exported Components can be imported into the correct target environment.

1. In the Component page, click the drop-down arrow on the right of the button and select Import Component.

   

2. In the Import Component dialog:
   1. Click the BROWSE button and navigate to an exported Component. Ensure the selected file was exported specifically for your environment, for more see the section on Exporting a Component.
   2. Enter a Label for the Component and enter an optional Description.
3. Click IMPORT.

Exporting a Component

You may export a component to migrate it between development environments or to create a back-up copy prior to development.

1. Use the drop-down menu available from the icon next to the Component name and select Export.
2. In the dialog, select from the following:
   1. Whether to export the Component including the data used in the component, or just the Configuration Only.
   2. The Environment from which the component will be exported — This setting is important during the development cycle to ensure the correct version of the component is migrated.
   3. The Target environment — This value will be added to the exported file to ensure the export is correctly configured.
3. Click EXPORT.

Renaming a Component

Each component added to a Solution can be given a unique name. This is applicable if there are multiple instances of a component deployed to the same Solution.

1. Use the drop-down menu available from the icon next to the Component name and select Edit Properties.
2. In the Describe Component dialog, edit the Component Name field and click SAVE.
