K2 Designer - Working with the MSBuild File

The MSBuild file includes a number of properties that can be set or cleared depending on the task that is to be performed.

Property Groups

The property group tags are set and cleared using the command line application MSBuild. The XML contains the property options as can be seen below.

Property Tag	Boolean	Setting Description
Deploy Process	True / False	Deploys the process to the K2 Server
Create Notifications	True / False	Deploys the notifications
Create Workflow SmartObjects	True / False	Deploys Workflow SmartObjetcs
Create Workflow Reporting Smart Objects	True / False	Deploys Reporting SmartObjects
Test Only	True / False	Deploys only when TestOnly is set to false

The options to Deploy Process and TestOnly cannot both be true or both be false. When one is true the other must be false.

The two properties that affect the deployment process are Deploy_Process and TestOnly. The TestOnly property enables a mock deploy which essentially tests the environment to ensure that all parameters are correct. Thereafter the Deploy_Process is set to true and the FULL process deployment takes place.
